### 3/5 — Pro Tip:

*2024-09-07*

Crashes sometimes (if not often), but try deleting the app and redownloading! It should work then, a bit tedious but hope this helps!

### 5/5 — much better

*2023-11-11*

used this three years ago and it would overheat my phone and crash but it’s much better than it was. logging out and back in to get updated data is annoying but beyond that no complaints

### 1/5 — Terrible Continuity

*2022-11-05, version 8.7.15*

Great app - if you can ever use it without deleting and re-adding 25 times while canvassing

### 3/5 — No

*2022-10-14, version 8.7.15*

iOS not working

### 1/5 — Unrelenting crashes

*2022-09-29, version 8.7.15*

Can’t even get this app to open any longer. It immediately crashes. Updated to the latest OS and latest version. Absolutely terrible.

### 1/5 — Clunky

*2022-09-27, version 8.7.14*

App does not run smoothly and now with the update it immediately crashes.

### 1/5 — Indecipherable app

*2022-09-25*

Trying to sign up so I can canvass. Tried to sign on after creating password using my email. Didn’t recognize me and didn’t include option to ask for new password. Went to laptop and googled to find “forgot password?” Got message that my email doesn’t exist. That’s a first! Still stuck. Also, along the way something popped up asking for a credit card while promising this a a free app. Not doing that.

### 1/5 — This makes me cynical

*2022-09-18*

Our worst enemies won’t be Republicans but our own tech system. As a young volunteer, this makes me very cynical about the future of the politics. There are so many like me willing to canvass for Dems but are discouraged because our tech system fail us and there is nothing we could do about it. 

Get it fixed or we won’t ever go anywhere.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2022-09-18*

As someone who regularly canvasses, PDI has broken down so many times I can’t even count anymore. This leaves a horrible taste in my mouth as a volunteer, because it wastes my time and prevents the campaign staffers who work so hard to put on canvasses from doing their jobs! No matter how much campaigns prepare for their canvasses, PDI ends up being the reason we can’t go out and have quality conversations with voters. This is a SHAME.

### 5/5 — Great app for canvasing

*2022-09-08*

I used this app for a local campaign and it worked great. The accuracy of the locations and GPS were definitely reliable.
