The app also contains seven year salary histories and bonuses for 2.2 million disclosed federal employees, state checkbooks in at least 16 states, and public salaries from 36,000 local units of government across America.
Hyper-localize all federal spending by using your current GPS location, setting a custom location by zip code, or search by a vendor name or employee's last name.
See state checkbook spending: 1. choose a target state on the ‘state checkbook fly wheel’ of the app; 2. if you live ‘out-of-state,’ then change your location by keying any ZIP code within the target state.
See salaries from 36,000 units of local government across America by your current location (as determined by GPS) or keying in a ZIP code.

Tried to setup an Acct, but it tells me my email doesn't match my password! I haven't even setup either so far, so how can that be?
Great app. But needs action point to send email to demand change from local and state officials.
Great app, disappointing that the last update was 2018 seeing as how it's almost 2021.
Good information but old. Update the information.
very poor it didn't have all the states listed
Useless! Not being updated.
Data seems to be five years old and incomplete.
Very INTERESTING What can we do? They rig the vote... Bunch of FOSSILS run the USA. S/b in a museum with munnies!💀
Outdated. Would be nice to have info from this decade at least.
Pretty good except it never updated 2019
THIS IS A VERY EDUCATIONAL APP. IT MAY BE A REAL EYE-OPENER . IT MIGHT EVEN MAKE YOUR BLOOD BOIL IF YOU ARE NOT A DEMMORON !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enlightening and eye opening especially after hearing educators cry poor for eons now. Come to find out the biggest cities with the least amount of educated citizens who can do simple math and read on a fifth grade level are the highest paid. How does that fly? You'll be disgusted after looking at some of the information and monetary figures in this application.
Any info like this is valuable!
The app doesn't work
Shocking the money some entities receive. This app is purely informational disclosure of funding by the government.
Another very informative government book.
Never heard of it. Just appeared.
Does not list MICHIGAN
I will check it out
never worked
An eye opener and can really get your blood boiling knowing how much money is wasted for unnecessary personnel. The same personnel who don't want to give and extra dollar an hour to those people who do the real work.
Does this breakdown to cities officials because if it don't it should please fix to include cities spending as well because for true change to happen we need to start in our own backyard
Awesome resource to keep out government accountable
Most interesting. How do I filler by year?
My former boss Adam has excelled in exposing government corruption. Let this app show you.
Great 5 star app for transparency. 4 stars because Michigan is missing. Bring it on..
Very interesting
