Enable/disable different types of pushed (or pulled) alerts
Clear any saved Twitter or Facebook login credentials

Customer Reviews

Good with 1 complaint (4 stars)
I use this app every day to keep up with the politics of the day, and for the most part am very pleased. One complaint, please make the top and bottom navigation bars configurable. I would prefer they are present all the time or only when I tap the screen. Having them pop up when I get to the bottom of an article is annoying as they always cover some unread text and I have to slide up and down to get rid of them, very very annoying!!

Flawless Execution (5 stars)
While I rarely waste my time rating apps, this one clearly deserves it. Politico is not just the best political app for iPhone, it's the best news app that is out there right now. They absolutely nailed it on the layout; it's very easy to navigate and search within your topics of interest. Also, you can find significantly more content here than you would expect from a news app. Well done app, and a must for anyone in politics and political j

Great but I'd pay for no ads (4 stars)
I love the app and the news but I'd pay the 99 cents for a no ad version.
