User Reviews

Roll Call News is a useful Capitol Hill news source with better mobile formatting and customization, but it suffers from stability and update problems, stale content, UI/readability glitches, intrusive unread badges, and outdated device support, which undermines its usefulness.
Pros
  • Useful for tracking U.S. Congress and federal government news.
  • Mobile formatting makes articles easier to read on phones.
  • Contains a substantial amount of political news for enthusiasts.
  • Offers customization options like removing badges and adjusting article availability.
  • iOS sharing extensions were added, improving shareability.
Cons
  • Content stops updating and becomes stale, with many stories showing old dates.
  • App is unstable—crashes frequently and sometimes non-responsive.
  • Headlines are often truncated and images aren’t scaled properly, reducing readability.
  • Unread badge counts are intrusive and not easily disabled for all users.
  • Lack of timely updates and device-resolution support for newer iPhones (e.g., iPhone X/XS) and slow loading.
