I’m using it to knock doors, and too many of the doors I knock tell me “I voted for Trump already and someone else came by to survey me yesterday. Not impressed by the Republican get-out-the-vote effort in NC. ### 2/5 — App needs a lot of refinement *2024-08-31* Missing functionality that should be in this app: First, there needs to be a walking map, DRIVING map, and the phone call option. There is a huge flaw in identifying what is in a cluster of homes when straight line distance is used in any scenario other than in an actual neighborhood… when driving shows something being 2.6 miles away and getting there is a 10 mile drive, the app has a flawed design. Look at integration options to show distance and directions where users can select Apple, Google, Waze, etc map options inside the app. There needs to be an offline option for the app… frustrated to no end as ai hit very remote homes where there has been little to no cell reception. The app absolutely needs a facial recognition option to simplify logon, because most campaigns have very long user names and passwords. There needs to be a simple way to add other voters on when encountered and canvassed, or where finding someone moved and there are new residents at a home. ### 2/5 — Terrible on User end *2024-08-20* Bad data. App always freezes. I never write reviews but I had to for campaign sidekick. i360 is much better on the user end. Smoother, better data. I hope someone at campaign sidekick sees this and helps fix all the bug and data issues. ### 2/5 — Streamline *2023-06-25* There is no need to ask someone if they want to leave a walk list when they press the back button to get out of a walk list. Just do it. Between the extra 10 seconds for that plus the 20 seconds of checking for updates every. single. time. trying to hunt and find an area of a 45 + possible walk list takes forever ### 2/5 — Much to be desired *2022-11-26, version 1.89* The voicemail option is this app’s saving grace. As someone who’s worked on the Trump 2020 effort and currently in the 22 cycle this app remains clunky, the inability to draw walkbooks of more than 150 doors is beyond frustrating, and the crashes when using power dialer are unacceptable when in crunch time. Definitely prefer advantage and i360 ### 1/5 — Incredibly frustrating! *2022-07-22, version 1.84* This app is terrible. The concept is great if it would only work. The speakerphone only works when a call goes to voicemail, then it’s automatic. However, the phone is silent until then so you don’t know whether someone picks up or not. Your only clue is the second clock starts ticking so you’d better pay attention! This is just one of many quirks. ### 1/5 — Not helpful. Only works with party insiders. *2022-07-21, version 1.84* Don’t bother downloading if you are an independent or nonpartisan candidate. They will only work with republicans that tow the party line . ### 1/5 — I can’t access updated script *2022-05-29, version 1.79* The campaign I’m volunteering for updated their voter contact script to remind absentee voters to get their ballots in. However, when I log in to start calling, the previous initial info survey script continues to show up. The new script is not showing up at all! I’ve logged in/out multiple times, deleted/reinstalled the app w/the new update, went into settings>options & re-set the app & re-set scripts—and I STILL can’t access my new voter contact script. Currently have an email in to their ZenDesk help center, but not hopeful of response. Come on, Campaign Sidekick—primary season is in full swing, & we volunteers need to contact our peeps!!! ### 2/5 — So so *2022-04-12, version 1.77* Works too fast to start dialing right from the start& especially when I want to write something after finally being able to talk to someone ### 1/5 — Makes the job harder *2021-10-21, version 1.71* The app goes about 2FPS, it drains the battery, it requires the best connection in the world and won’t load even with hotel’s wifi (usually you don’t campaign in your home) This app takes everything that is needed for a door knocker and takes it away. The WORST tool for the job. 1/10 ### 1/5 — Great app!! If/when it decides to work *2021-10-03, version 1.69* Seriously this app is great and saves you a lot of work and running around needlessly but it is very unreliable. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-09-14, version 1.69* When app is working without freezing and loading issues app is great but it’s always freezing kicking me out loading slow so it’s terrible ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. *2020-12-31, version 1.56* Doesn’t work don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Don't use if you're a serious campaign *2020-11-07, version 1.54* I will keep this short and simple... This app will not provide the data, speed or effectiveness you need to win in today's campaign world. Stay away from Campaign Sidekick. ### 1/5 — Campaign sidekick *2020-11-02, version 1.54* Major problems with site- is this site created by Biden campaign so we can’t help trump? Seriously it does not work MOST of the time- Can’t get into sight or it just keeps stopping! ### 1/5 — Logging in *2020-10-26, version 1.54* Logging in is so hard. It always says the login is wrong even tho it’s not. I have to email them just for it to work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tactical 2,west wind,Campaign side kick ,American pac, Blitz *2024-11-08* All of these companies which is used by American pac is a fraudulent scamming company there making money off of the work you put in as there workers so your basically working as slaves and getting paid what they want to pay you my opinion don’t work for this /these companies because they will sale you a false dream.I never seen one company using so many different names and from my experience with this company you will end up taking them to court to get what is owed to you such as what I will be doing it may not work the first time filing a lawsuit but don’t give up do it again and again if needed until you beat the case because there going to pocket the money that you worked hard for and give you what they desire too ! Don’t be afraid to do what is right for your own sanity get what is owed back to you ### 1/5 — Very frustrating *2024-09-11* This app is extremely touchy when logging in. The spinning wheel of death is the most consist feature. When I ask how to correct the problem, I’m told to delete & reinstall. Make this more user friendly!!! ~A Patriot who really wants to do their job! ### 1/5 — Won’t work as described *2024-08-31* I have been trying to use this for Trump 47 to knock doors. Google maps will not work with this. I can’t get the maps portion of the app to appear consistently. The questions that I am supposed to be asking are not there, but rather sound like a phone request for being a neighborhood volunteer only. I have also had problems with not being able to select a non-availability for second voter at the same address. I have wasted a lot of time. ### 1/5 — Horrendous *2024-07-13* Nothing about this app is intuitive. The data is unreliable, most functions are unusable, overall just a waste of time. Wish the campaign would use i360. ### 1/5 — Issues with correct addresses and )choose your campaign) *2024-02-03* Having issues with finding the right addresses, everyone I went to were incorrect or the address was not allocated to the correct person. Also, I’m not able to choose your campaign. it seems all iOS are having this issue. ### 1/5 — Campaign Sidekick support *2023-02-13* The functionality of the product is pretty good but the support is horrible. I’ve placed multiple calls over the season and have yet to hear back from anyone. Not recommended! ### 1/5 — Worst campaign app ever *2022-10-13, version 1.89* This app constantly freezes, the homes are way off, homes pop up after you’re done with a street. Seriously the worst campaign app ever. ### 1/5 — bad *2022-10-08, version 1.89* i click on a house and it only takes 10,0000,000000,000000,000 years to load. great!!! ### 1/5 — Reporting VM Issue *2022-09-06, version 1.86* Before a voice mail the call appears to be disconnecting. Please advise. ### 1/5 — Poor functionality *2022-08-14, version 1.85* Never able to login from my mobile device away from home. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app in the business *2024-05-23* This is a fantastic app that continually makes improvements with the end user in mind. Great functionality for the core features and always releasing updates. ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-10-08, version 1.52* Best app for voter contact. Great team and support. ### 5/5 — Great *2020-06-20, version 1.42* It's great and getting better all the time! ### 5/5 — Great background music *2020-03-28, version 1.37* Absolutely amazing jazz sounds phenomenal ### 5/5 — Great app! *2019-12-17, version 1.20* Sidekick is a fantastic program — I use the app all the time! It’s intuitive and powerful, elegant and versatile. Love it!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-09-22, version 1.0* Gone are the days of campaign mismanagement thanks to this app. I remember spending time with map books, photocopies, post it notes, and highlighters. All of those tools are bound into one here. Check it out! ### 4/5 — I Love It! *2020-09-19, version 1.52* It works great for team campaigning both door to door and for calls. You need to restart the app every once in a while because it freezes, but I haven’t had any major problems yet. It makes calling 10 times faster and canvassing much easier as well. I hope the team fixes the minor bugs, but this is a great app! ### 3/5 — Good so far *2021-09-17, version 1.69* That app has proven to be really good at what is does. However, it really needs expanded functionality to allow the user to take random surveys. Conversations come up at work, while shopping, in the park, etc. that afford opportunities to gather data. I’d really like to ask “average Joe on the street” if he’d be willing to take the survey, enter his home address then record the data. This is very doable. I estimate I could collect twice the data with this added functionality as it would drastically increase my efficiently over that of being locked into a walk list. ### 3/5 — Good...But not for groups *2020-11-02, version 1.54* Pros: Quick reporting on data, streamlined experience, phone banking experience is solid. Cons: Hard to collaborate with group of volunteers when out knocking doors (can’t see houses that have been done, houses that are completed will not auto complete across other devices, no way to rotate map to better orient, app seems to freeze up some). Suggested: would like a feature that will line houses up going only north and south, or only going east and west ### 3/5 — Constantly Crashing *2020-09-05, version 1.52* Something major is wrong with this app. The company has excuses but that does not help users. The app is constantly spinning and freezing for hours. It takes a lot of patience and time to input data. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
