Pro Tip:
Crashes sometimes (if not often), but try deleting the app and redownloading! It should work then, a bit tedious but hope this helps!
much better
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
Terrible Continuity
Great app - if you can ever use it without deleting and re-adding 25 times while canvassing
No
iOS not working
Unrelenting crashes
Can’t even get this app to open any longer. It immediately crashes. Updated to the latest OS and latest version. Absolutely terrible.
Clunky
App does not run smoothly and now with the update it immediately crashes.
Indecipherable app
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.

This makes me cynical
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.

Horrible
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.

Great app for canvasing
I used this app for a local campaign and it worked great. The accuracy of the locations and GPS were definitely reliable.
Bad
Always crashes ! 😡
Crashy Crashy
Yikes this app is crashing like crazy. Its unnnusable.
How do you get in?!
I was given this app to use to drop door hangers for the election. However the how-to video does not work, there is not place to register or sign up and I have no log in information. Really bad app!
Just crashes...
I have a team of canvassers ready to go knock on doors and the app just crashes on us. We all have iPhones with that are up to date and compatible. What gives? ☹️
Desperately needs to check off houses
This app is good but it desperately needs to be able to tap on a house to change its color after you visit it to know what you’ve covered.
Trying to remember 120+ houses visited in your head is almost impossible.

Useless
The concept of this app is amazing but the app still needs a lot of work to get there. I have been using this app for around 6 months now and it constantly keeps booting me off. This is especially annoying when you are canvassing or really needing to keep if an assignment was loaded really quickly. I continue to use it to “save to time” but it seems to me that I waste more of my time logging in than actually using the app. I really do hope PDI can solve these problems because this is INSANE!!!

Consistently troubled. Lacks basic functionality.

Getting better, still needs work
Latest update backed out the “done with whole household” button that was crashing the app, so that’s good although it would have been a good feature if it had worked. Extra steps back and forth to add info and comments are tedious but doable. A flag for non-English speakers would be nice. Really helpful would be for stats to show how many actual conversations happened, now just records number of doors knocked whether anyone was at home or not.

Good data terrible data collection
It’s so great to see what houses to go to and who lives there. The rest is truly terrible. Data collection is just horrible and the user can not tell if anything was collected at all. It takes 8 clicks to record that you reached someone and then you have to stand and wait for the data to be uploaded. You have no way to tell if it worked no way to see what you recorded. As a candidate I have zero access to my own data. I walked for two days and recorded nothing. No error handling. As someone who worked in software the app is Wry poorly executed.

Frustrating
Very frustrating app. Constantly crashes and even when I restart the app or try and redownload it, the same issues continue. If I’m lucky and it doesn’t crash, the app is very slow and the constant updating as you go from place to place can slow you down immensely.
