Set up

This might not necessarily be a problem with minivan. It might be a problem with the app that we're using to set minivan up, but the set up is complicated. It uses industry speak so it is not intuitive. Anytime we discover a problem after we've started canvassing and we try to reset it, it resets everything. It would be nice if this was all in one app rather than using two apps that play off of each other

Notes not accessible to others

My co-PCP and I have found that when one enters info in "notes" that the other is unable to see them, despite syncing and checking back later.

Could use some export options

It works well out in the field. It would be great to have options to export the list of houses so that I can print them out for the person driving me. I have to do screen captures, which is time consuming…

Very frustrating at times

This app is good is some ways, incredibly frustrating in others. I supposedly had a list that was supposed to always show me the people closest by based on my current location. Apparently that doesn’t work… at first it was fine, but as I moved away from my canvassing location, I redownloaded the list to continue down the road and instead it gave me people far away from me! Every time I redownloaded the list after that, the houses got further and further away with no way to go back to any of the previously houses. All in all, I only canvassed a small handful of houses and talked with only two people. What a frustrating and unproductive day, all because of this silly little app not working as intended. Ugh!
