When I needed it the most, the app did not work. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2008-11-05, version 0* Same as rest, useless on election day. Old outdated info. Guess it is poetic, might as well get raped out of a dollar by this crap! The entire country is about to get raped now. God help us all, the anti-Christ is here! ### 1/5 — Deceptive... *2008-11-05, version 0* Just adding to what the others have already noted. This app was worthless on election day.. All it had were outdated poll information and no actual voting results. It was a cheap app, but developers should not be able to get away with a feature list that falsely describes the actual app. ### 1/5 — Terrible application. Slow to update. Basic rss feed. Ban publisher *2008-11-05, version 0* Run far away ### 1/5 — Junk *2008-11-05, version 0* Broken promises of updates. This was little more than a news headline regurgatation feed. If apple had any honor they'd refund the money and ban this publisher from the app store. ### 1/5 — Theft. *2008-11-05, version 0* This app. Failed miserably. I want my money back. ### 1/5 — Garbage I want my money back *2008-11-05, version 0* This app was a complete piece of garbage on election day, you did not keep your promises about updating results. Your app and your abilities as a business is a complete failure. ### 2/5 — Save Your Money *2008-11-05, version 0* The author seems to be way to busy to push down updates to the data so everything is very stale. Stick to CNN and the FREE AP app. ### 4/5 — great app *2008-11-03, version 0* for 2012, however, i'd love something a bit more visual. perhaps a map of the US with different densities rather than just graphs. ### 2/5 — Good info but too cluttered *2008-10-29, version 0* A decent app with good GUI, but a bit too cluttered with lots of small data and print compared to the free POLIS app....K.I.S.S. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Seriously?? Not Current *2012-11-06, version 0* You would think that they would update with this election's information. But nope, still Obama vs McCain. Very disappointed that the people behind this app don't even have things set up for Obama vs Romney. Seems like they care more about the money than the consumer. DO NOT BUY! ### 1/5 — Deceptive title *2010-02-16, version 0* Please do not have only one outdated election included and call this app Election. This app should be brought to the back of the barn and retired. ### 1/5 — Needs a refresh button *2009-02-08, version 0* Cool interface but wholey let me down on election night. Results were about 6 hours behind. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2008-11-06, version 0* Like the rest said, it was way behind when it came to election day... ### 1/5 — Complete waste of .99 *2008-11-06, version 0* Downloaded bc I would be working the night shift. Worst .99 cent app yet. In such an important election you might think that the information would be updated as time went.... ### 1/5 — No updates *2008-11-06, version 0* Did not provide promised updates... Hope refunds are being given. Waste of time and 99 cents ### 1/5 — Slow and ugly *2008-11-05* This app really let me down. It locks up when refreshing election data, which is the whole point of the app. Presentation-wise, it feels really thrown together. ### 1/5 — I Want My Money Back *2008-11-05, version 0* Terrible application. Bought it on election day, as I would be out all day and wanted to keep up to date on the election. I felt stupid as this app just sat there with minimal updates. Obama had already won and it's most recent update was that he had 170 electorals. Pathetic really, I want my money back. ### 1/5 — Slow to update = worthless *2008-11-05, version 0* Hey here's an idea... TRY UPDATING THE INFORMATION!!! I was hoping not to have to tune in to the talking heads on TV and instead just track the election via my iPhone. Instead the app was terribly slow in updating information basically rendering it all but useless. ### 1/5 — I want my .99 back! *2008-11-05, version 0* The screenshot is all you get essentially. There were no updates, nothing on the 4th and nothing since October 25. Just a bunch of static graphs and info. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thanks *2009-02-09, version 0* Thanks for showing me your app. I got it on my way out and I'm hooked already. Now, my only worry is that I'm going to check it too much as this election looms closer. ### 5/5 — Good app *2009-01-07, version 0* I thought this was a good application and did what it promised. Some of the reviews here complain about no up-to-the-second updates on election day, but frankly that is not realistic as that information wasn't always available. I launched the app several times on election day and saw info that was fairly fresh (30min-2hours) and was good enough for almost any scenario. All in all, a well designed app. ### 5/5 — My FAVE Application! *2008-12-17, version 0* I love this! I used it daily to see polling data and other pertinent info to the election. It had so many details...Pretty much anything you wanted to know about the election, and then some, is on this application. Friends got annoyed when we'd go out, because I kept checking the Election Application! :-) ### 5/5 — Lots of data in a small app. *2008-11-04, version 0* The UI can be impoved to be more in-line with iPhone guidelines, but the app delivers its core value to political junkies. Waiting to see how this fares tomorrow (election day) ### 5/5 — The best 99 cents I could have spent before nov 4 *2008-10-30, version 0* Now I'm up to date and watch all the action state by state. ### 5/5 — Great Program *2008-10-29, version 0* I started out with Election 08 and was extreamly disapponted when Slate took it over. Now with this program I am back to being informed with the poll information. Great program well worth the money. ### 5/5 — a clear view of US politics *2008-10-27, version 0* A nice breakdown; I can see what is going on overall, by state, or by the issues. ### 5/5 — Terrific App *2008-10-26, version 0* For those who were disappointed with Election '08 being trashed by the Slate takeover, this App is an excellent replacement. It offers updated state-by-state available polling, identifies the source of the polling (a flaw that Election '08 had at the beginning, then fixed, then went back to aggregate numbers) plus estimated EV totals. It also promises to be an excellent tool for election day with updated results and exit polling. The information is well organized and updates quickly. Well worth the buck and I thank the developers for giving us what WE want, not what Slate THINKS we want. ### 4/5 — Money Worth *2008-11-06, version 0* Interesting application. Somehow it appeared to be delayed on the election results. Over all application was money worth. ### 4/5 — The best in its category! *2008-11-06, version 0* This is a well written application - the best in its category. My friends suggested me this application because they liked daily poll update. Unque features like commentary is impressive. On election date the results were slightly delayed but I guess the advertisement said multiple updates (rather than real time updates) - so cant really complain much. All the updates were available by the end of the day. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
