### 3/5 — Won’t save your sample ballot

*2026-07-28, version 1.4.4*

I like that this app gives you a sample ballot and lets you mark your selections so you can have a reference to take into the voting booth. But if you input your selections and then close the app it erases your selections! Unless you research the candidates on Election Day you’ll lose what you marked and have to do it all over again. Please fix this! Your selections should remain marked until you clear them yourself.

### 3/5 — Used to be better

*2026-07-27, version 1.4.4*

I was so surprised and disappointed when I went to vote today and found positions to be voted on that were NOT ON THE APP BALLOT!  When I first used this app it was EXACTLY like the ballot I saw when I went to vote. I used it as a guide to study the people and their actions to see if I wanted to vote for them. People like the judges. There was also a referendum on the ballot that I was unaware of. Please go back to the way it was and include EVERY position and measure we will be voting on. Also…. This time it did not save my selections when the app was closed out. Please change that back too. Otherwise this app will basically be worthless to me and I will need to low mute score I gave you. Correct these things and I will give you a higher score. Thanks

### 2/5 — No sample ballot

*2026-07-18, version 1.4.4*

Will not show sample ballot-leads the searcher in circles. Poor website/app

### 2/5 — Same as website

*2024-07-30, version 1.4.1*

The app has no unique functions that you can't access on the website. It's just the web page content.. in an app

### 2/5 — Used to be a great app

*2022-07-15, version 1.4.0*

This is the first local election where nothing happens when I click on Sample Ballot. I used to be provided with a list according to my address, but not anymore. I have updated the app and my iPhone, but still nothing. Please fix this - I loved this app when it worked.

### 2/5 — Even “report a problem” doesn’t work

*2022-04-27, version 1.4.0*

This app was very helpful in previous years.  Trying to use it in spring of 2022, and hardly any of the links work.  Made sure I was up to date, no help.  I cannot look up early voting locations- the app crashes. I cannot look up ballot information or voting districts.  Really the only link that functions on my app is the “go to full website” link.  Tried to report a problem on the App Store and ended up at a dead end there too.  Would love it if the app worked properly- it used to be so helpful!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-04-26, version 1.4.0*

Many of the menu options just produce a “thinking” circle when select and do not go any where. This app used to work fine but does not work now.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2022-04-24, version 1.4.0*

Elections coming up on May 3, and this app doesn’t work.  Every menu item selected does nothing.

It’s about as annoying as the people who use these app comments to post their political views, as if anyone cares what those crackpots think.

### 1/5 — Garbage app that sends you in circles.

*2021-09-03, version 1.4.0*

This app is about as useful as Biden’s foreign policy. You go to retrieve election results by county and it opens up your web browser, prompting you to download the app, which takes you right back to the AppStore. 

Marvelous….

### 1/5 — Absolutely useless

*2020-10-20, version 1.3.2*

The only purpose of this appYes so the Secretary of State can claim that he has one. when I type in my address it tells me there was no information that I may want to check with my county voter registration office.
there are all 21 reviews of this I am all from 2018 with only one bad one.  I’m going to suggest that all of the reviews they have gotten from 2019 or 2020 have been bad reviews and they have been deleted. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — waste of time

*2018-11-06, version 1.3.2*

Provides no functionality or native os optimized experience. It's a direct pull of the website.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2018-07-12, version 1.3.1*

All these reviews are old. The app is crap. All links only open your web browser and take you to the same place that recommended you download the stupid app. I was looking for a sample ballot as promised on the app. Nowhere to be found.

### 4/5 — No County Commission District listed under DISTRICTS

*2018-07-10, version 1.3.1*

I can see my commissioner choices and district under the candidate list in primary sample ballot, but NOT listed under DISTRICT tab list.

Excellent Resource aside from 1 missing district #

### 1/5 — Totally useless

*2026-08-11, version 1.4.4*

Wouldn’t even work or load any info, though I’m sure the info would have been helpful.

### 1/5 — It says it'll save your answers: THAT'S A LIE

*2026-08-06, version 1.4.4*

Definitely take screenshots of your ballot after you fill it in, because all of my options were gone once I walked into the polling center. Luckily I had my screenshots. Do better, GoVoteTN! (8/6/26)

### 1/5 — App Sucks Site Sucks

*2026-06-18, version 1.4.4*

Nothing works. Absolute trash. Can’t use the site to register to vote online, either. They make it impossible intentionally.

### 1/5 — Application does not work

*2026-06-08, version 1.4.4*

Search does not return information. You need to fix it.

### 1/5 — Not working on Election Day

*2024-11-05, version 1.4.1*

This all has worked for me in the past but it’s Election Day and it’s not working at all. No sample ballots and not recognizing addresses. Of all the days, this is the day it needs to be working.

### 1/5 — Voting is Important

*2024-11-05, version 1.4.1*

Today is Election Day. 

Webpages contain virtually no information and push you to download this app. 

Finding information on the app isn’t easy or intuitive as it requires you to fill out a form.

It would be easy to put polling information directly on the website. 

I had to type my search in 4 different ways to get the search to even yield a response. 

To be clear this seems to be an unnecessary extra step in informing (or more accurately not informing) voters…which is is what this app claims to be doing.

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2024-10-24, version 1.4.1*

I should be able to simply Google for a sample ballot so that I can research candidates.  It shouldn’t be hard or give you a run around. OR MAKE YOU DOWNLOAD AN APP THAT STILL WON’T SIMPLY SHOW YOU A SAMPLE BALLOT. Do better. Sheesh.

### 1/5 — Mrs

*2024-07-21, version 1.4.1*

Can not get a sample ballot or list of people running.  Does not work.  Very frustrating!

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2022-06-17, version 1.4.0*

This app is woefully inadequate and serves the people of Tennessee poorly. Does not show upcoming election dates or candidates. Other states have much better support for voters.

### 1/5 — Once upon a time it worked

*2022-05-03, version 1.4.0*

Alas no more. Clicking on menu links only get a little busy icon and zilch for action. Shame as I found it infinitely useful when trying to narrow my choice of candidates down. Is this purposefully done?

### 5/5 — I stand corrected current app works well

*2022-07-25, version 1.4.0*

I submitted a negative review because the app wouldn’t pull up my ballot or elected officials like it used to. I think however, that when it updates the app signs you out. So you have to input your voter information again in order to see those items. The app seems to be working well now. It’s very helpful because you can see your ballot information specific to your own districts. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Current version working

*2022-07-19, version 1.4.0*

Despite negative recent reviews, I find the current version working well. Most importantly, it brings up our correct sample ballot.

### 5/5 — God bless America!

*2018-11-06, version 1.3.2*

Great app! Let’s go my fellow patriots. Republicans must win to keep our Country going in a safe and prosperous direction! God Bless America 🙏

### 5/5 — This is it.

*2018-04-11, version 1.3.1*

Great app that does exactly what you want it to do. Helped me do the following. 
1. Register to vote
2. View upcoming elections
3. View voting locations

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2018-03-08, version 1.3.0*

This is a REALLY good app. I hope all my #tndemocrats have it. I hope all the states have it! Very informative and easy to use! It is very full of all elected officials.
A must have in 2018. I give it 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-10-20, version 1.1.0*

Great

### 5/5 — Excellent resource easy to use

*2016-10-17, version 1.1.0*

Great app, very informative and extremely easy to use. No crashes or slow loading problems. I recommend this to ever TN voter

### 5/5 — Good Information for Tennesseans

*2016-01-16, version 1.1.0*

Good, accurate information about voting in Tennessee.  Hats off to the Secretary of State's office for creating this app to share information with Tennessee voters.

### 5/5 — Everything you need

*2014-11-04, version 1.1.0*

Accurate information presented clearly!

### 5/5 — Very informative

*2014-10-30, version 1.1.0*

All the information you need to vote in one place! Includes a trial ballot so that you are prepared when you go vote.
