Bleeding Edge Search Technology
politicoTracker is sold on the Apple App Store for $9.99 and is available for the iPhone or iPod Touch. An internet connection is required to conduct news searches, but not to read articles you save to the device.
politicoTracker for iPad takes advantage of the iPad's large screen by keeping your article list visible as you peruse your search results, resulting in a more pleasant use and even greater time savings. This is a separate app that requires a separate purchase from the iPhone version. However, existing politicoTracker (for iPhone) owners can request a free promo code for the iPad version (US only, limited by my allotment of codes from Apple). Just email me from within the iPhone app to request your free code.
politicoTracker Lite has all the features and news, and the same complete list of politicians as politicoTracker. The only difference is there are no grouping options. Grouping gives you the ability to instantly cross-search the news against hundreds of related topics, and is politicoTracker's killer feature. However, if you just want the news, no fuss no muss, this is the app for you. At only $4.99, you get all the news at half the price.
Twitter Edition is just $.99 free and is also for the iPhone and iPod Touch. An internet connection is likewise required to
read tweets, but not to read saved linked pages. A Twitter account is not required.
Direct Device Purchase
The fastest way to obtain and start using either product is to launch the App Store on your device, then do a search for "ptracker". Tap on the app of your choice in the results, then tap the price icon and confirm. In a few moments you'll be discovering what your politicians have been up to!
