Political junkies will like this
by Sls13

Very easy to search and navigate. Can't see using it that often, but still pretty cool.

Retina support lousy on iPad
by Guidelines

Simple app, fine presentation. Unfortunately, the type is horrible when viewed on the new iPad -- odd, since the description specifically mentioned support for retina displays.

Inaccessible app
by atraveler

When the app is used with the voiceover screen reader, the buttons an interface elements read fine, but the text does not read it all. It's as though it does not exist. This makes the app perfectly useless for a blind person, as they cannot read the Congressional record!

I am sad to see that the Library of Congress, the home of the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, is producing an inaccessible app. Blind citizens have just as much of a right to know what their Congress is doing, and I fear that you have failed them! I hope you fix this soon.
