It seems good for knowing my reps a d their contact information, but the lack of being able to find/search for campaigns kind of limits what you and cannot support. Plus, some of the questions to place you seem loaded, some loaded left others towards the right. Would like to see an addition to search for campaigns!
Ideology based on positions looks correct on left vs right but I don't see how I lean toward authoritarian at all vs leaning libertarian. I actually took the time and did all my questions one by one and seen it inch me toward autocrat when I was ensuring I was positioned firmly on protecting freedom and less government.
This app has too many issues for me. You have to contact support to change a number of issues, my lt gov hasn't been updated to reflect the new politician who took office almost 5 months ago, and you must start a brigade to see any of them. That makes no sense to me. You are given little information and no examples and told to start a new brigade or join a friend's (though no mention of how to do that). I would also like to see local officials added to this app. Good in theory, not execution.
Gives me an oops message and doesn't load. Still giving 5 stars though. We need more social apps like this, that are more politicaly open minded.
I'm a Conservative, but mysteriously, I've been getting huge quantities of leftist leaning emails and somehow my name was added to signed petitions against my president without my permission. I did not sign, nor have I signed, any petitions against my president or his administration.
I no longer want to receive anything from Brigade. There are too many email and issues sent and I don't want to receive them any more
Just started using this app and so for it's awesome!
Installed this app just to give it a bad rating. Liberalism is a disease. Find a cure.
Fast and safe
Does not even allow me to register my name or address
I think it's is great .
I like being in contact with my reps
Love very minute of it.💘
Its real nice
Loved it
Thank you.
My city split zip codes years ago so now there are two. Pulling my voter info requires my address, but the app refuses to acknowledge the existence of my zip code and cannot validate me as a registered voter.
I would like to see more representatives added- especially representatives and state legislators.
Great start but I'd really like more control over notifications. I DO want notifications informing me of actions and new campaigns but I do NOT want notifications letting me know Everytime someone joins one of my brigades. Please give us the ability to fine-tune what types of notifications we get. Thank you, love the app!
I like it for the most part but for some reason it's sharing petitions against women's reproductive Rights rather than in support of it. Seems sketchy and I don't see a way to report them.
While the concept is good, it is severely restrictive and you really cant do anything with it other than respond to things it sends to you. You cant post, comment, discuss, nothing
I enjoy it. Help get your word out to your representatives. Wish you could search for petitions, or create petitions
This is the start of Cambridge Analytica 2.0
This app requires access to friends list. ALL claims by the company this isn't true is a LIE. Until you grant all permissions you will not be allowed to run the app. I sense the desire to collect data and influence opinions. Don't believe the hype.
Its awsome
Love the brigade app for what it is and what's it's used for but the garbage UI and clunky setup makes it a nightmare to navigate at times. Could use a real overhaul in that department. Make it more user friend and it would be a 5/5.
