What do you do if your congressional district has changed since you initiated your account? Apparently nothing so you’re stuck receiving notifications on politicians who do not represent you. When I first downloaded the app I lived in PA District 2. Then a court ruled (correctly) that my state was unfairly gerrymandered and ordered that it be redistricted. Now I live in District 4 as of January 3, 2019 even though I did not move. But the app still thinks I live in District 2 and no way to change it seems to exist. Really, it’s a dumb way to design an app. I know not everybody’s district changes but a lot do because of court decisions or just standard redistricting. And what if I had simply moved? How would I change my settings? Maybe I’m missing something but it should not be a complicated adjustment to make. I sent an email to the developers but I got an automated response saying I might not get a response because of the high volume of emails they receive. Great idea for an app hampered by this design flaw.

I will give it to them at least they try and make it look like they’re not a bunch of liberals. They have about 1 out of 10 topics that could almost be construed as right leaning. They do have some counter points to most arguments but some are so ridiculous as to make right thinking people out to be monsters. Like we want to lock up all children and rip them from their mothers arms. About 75% of comments are made by the crying liberals that still haven’t gotten over the 2016 loss that they experienced. They are still heartbroken because of the reports that countable keeps posting making it look like President Trump is through are thwarted time and time again. It’s kind of refreshing seeing all of the comments of the left after they experience another loss.

I like the Countable app. I like that info is in given in laymen's terms, so individuals don't have to slog through legal-ese to try and figure it out. I like that info seems to be straightforward though sometimes there seems to be a bias. Sometimes something may have a liberal slant, but I have learned how to address and work through it. I know what I believe and stand firm and won't be swayed by a liberal agenda. Countable needs to make unbiased info and straightforward facts a goal. I have received a great number of responses from my senators. While the response is appreciated, some seem 'canned.' A few responses seem personal. I understand they get a lot of correspondence, but when the response is canned; it seems to lose effectiveness and meaning for me. How my senators interact with me and how serious they consider what I say does matter when it comes to the next election. I am glad Countable has made it possible that attacks are not possible among those of us who post reviews. Of course, it might be interesting to have a dislike option on responses as well. I'm inclined to think many polls are biased and ineffective, so some calculations of the 'like' and if a 'dislike' option is added might yield interesting results and perspective as well.
