### 3/5 — Using the app

*2020-11-14, version 3.3.0*

The app was very easy to use, the messages were easy to adopt or compose. 
However, data compiled for my contacts had not been updated and was more than two weeks old.

### 4/5 — Good Tool

*2020-11-04, version 3.3.0*

Easy to use and pretty interface. Need to make it more clear what the icons mean next to people’s names & sometimes the data isn’t the most up to date information.

### 2/5 — Leave people alone

*2020-11-01, version 3.3.0*

Leave people alone, privacy invasion

### 4/5 — Sharon

*2020-10-30, version 3.3.0*

Would not let me back in with same password. I’m
Trying to get a new one. Not showing

### 2/5 — Incomplete

*2020-10-29, version 3.3.0*

Explanations and directions would be helpful

### 5/5 — Excellent app!

*2020-10-17, version 3.3.0*

Easy to use and logical layout.

### 5/5 — Super easy!

*2020-10-06, version 3.3.0*

I sent out 100 text messages in less than 5 minutes. This is something I can do while waiting in line at the store!

### 5/5 — Easy to Use

*2020-10-03, version 3.3.0*

Can text & engage folks. Yassss! Let win this election. Time for true leadership.

### 4/5 — Comprehensive

*2020-09-27, version 3.3.0*

But harder to use than a desktop application

### 3/5 — Hard to read and font size not adjustable.

*2020-09-26, version 3.3.0*

The font size is small and very narrow, which makes it hard to read. 

Causes and organizations are limited to really big ones around the country, but not comprehensive. 

Asked for my full name and number, which I didn’t give and prefer NOT to give on a political app.

No directly-related Black Lives Matter causes that I could find, but that might be my own user error. 

Disability causes are next to 0 and this is very problematic considering the resurgence of disability advocacy.

This has promise but I think it needs a lot more work before it can be considered useful to a large extent.

### 4/5 — Easy to use, a few bugs

*2020-09-18, version 3.3.0*

OutVote is basically good. I can’t get it to rotate into landscape mode on my iPad. Also sometimes it doesn’t list all responses in inbox.

### 5/5 — Home care provider

*2020-09-03, version 3.3.0*

I’ll way of staying informed and educating others in the community.

### 5/5 — Volunteer

*2020-08-31, version 3.3.0*

Easy to use, fast, several ready-to-use messages, but able to customize or write original texts. I got lots of responses. Was able to help some people who were grateful and could weed out non-supporters. Felt like I made a difference.

### 5/5 — A friend told me download it

*2020-08-28, version 3.3.0*

Really easy app or use and super cool to do actions and mobilize a progressive community of people on it. I like using the app in the time of Covid-19 because it’s good to stay connected with friends and family who care about the same things as me.

### 4/5 — serious problems

*2020-08-27, version 3.3.0*

This app as a whole is great, an easy way to engage in the civic process, easily understandable.HOWEVER there are no ways to label messages as seen, or complete. messages that have not been reported are right next to those that have. it’s impossible to keep track who has been dealt with and who are active conversations. literally awful. i’m going crazy

### 5/5 — Awesome awesome awesome

*2020-08-23, version 3.3.0*

Awesome app that helps you reach so many people!!

### 5/5 — Ease of use

*2020-08-09, version 3.3.0*

This seems to be a straightforward tool to use.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Trouble connecting to a new organization

*2021-03-22, version 4.0.17*

Can someone point me to customer service? If I could give  zero star rating I would, here’s the problem, I have the code to join a new organization and the app states the code’s been accepted then fails to add it to my Home Screen! What’s going on? Additionally disappointing given the old campaign is no longer active and yet I’ve no way to delete it 🤦🏻‍♀️

### 1/5 — Socialism on Parade

*2020-11-03, version 3.3.0*

This is nothing more than a slick way to advertise for the socialist platform.   I feel dirty just downloading it.

### 1/5 — David Dooobrik

*2020-11-01*

Kanye West 2020 let's do it

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-07-26, version 3.3.0*

Apparently it steals your contact info so I loaded it on my IPad.  I got through 2 set up screens for name & phone # and now it’s frozen and won’t let me past that screen

### 1/5 — Bias

*2020-01-05, version 3.3.0*

I would choose ZERO stars if I could.  Totally Bias.  Do Not Download.

### 1/5 — Information is wrong.

*2018-11-08, version 3.2.1*

They list me as a Democrat for Massachusetts and a Republican in RI.  They also send itl out push notifications for liberal causes.  All the information they provide is easily accessible on Google.   Outvote is the fast food of apps.  You can eat fast food, but why put something that's bad into your body.  Same concept here,. Why put an app into your phone that is bad?

### 1/5 — Invasive

*2018-11-05, version 3.2.1*

Super invasive...don’t need anyone who has my phone number to know my politician affiliation and voting record. Are you serious?

### 1/5 — Liberal. Left leaning

*2018-11-01, version 3.2.1*

This is no bipartisan. From what I could tell all the causes you can support are on the left.

### 1/5 — Friends and family are blocking me

*2018-10-18, version 3.2.0*

My friends and family are blocking me because of this app. I even had one friend punch me.

### 1/5 — Privacy

*2018-10-17, version 3.2.0*

The first thing it does is require I make an account with my phone number. Instead, I clicked “privacy policy” but got a blank page. I don’t trust it. There’s no reason it should need to harvest my personal info before it can even show a welcome screen or offer any functionality. Too aggressive and skeezy, nope, I’m out.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Terrible log in

*2026-04-07, version 4.53.13*

The app signs you out without being prompted to do so. Signing back in is a nightmare. You have to be verified several times via email to get in and then get signed out again. There is no prompt to enter your password instead so you are at the mercy of the emailed passcode.

### 5/5 — Maximum Impact

*2025-03-26, version 4.4.0*

🗣️I 🫶🏾❤️❤️ the fact I can reach out to millions of people through this Impactive App and Organize to make a difference in our communities for our lives.

### 5/5 — My contacts

*2024-10-18, version 4.3.3*

It is helpful to see the party affiliation of people on my contact list. 
I love sending personalized messages.

*2022-10-22, version 4.1.4*

So easy

### 5/5 — Joy of Texting

*2020-11-01, version 3.3.0*

As an introvert texting is my preferred GOTV action. OutVote makes this process so easy.

### 5/5 — Vote

*2020-11-01, version 3.3.0*

It helps others to get out there and vote

### 5/5 — Good.

*2020-11-01, version 3.3.0*
