Also it is not clear how to get out of the picture taking mode. It doesn’t let you upload a photo taken outside the app. Why can’t I upload a photo of my ID taken with the native iPhone app? It could do a much better job. I love the idea of voting by smartphone. I hope the photo part of the app can be improved. ### 4/5 — Verification issue *2023-01-09, version 1.048* The verification code I received in my email did not work. The one on Facebook did work. Please fix ### 4/5 — Simple, effective voting app *2022-04-17* This works. After downloading, you’ll need to verify your contact info (quick) and your ID (slow). Once that’s complete, you’ll receive your ballot and voting is quick and simple. I’m only giving four stars because the recognition software for the passport scanning and headshot is very clunky and not effective. ### 1/5 — Is this app a virus? *2018-08-08, version 1.023* My phone has a virus now. ### 1/5 — Had to reinstall *2018-05-20, version 1.023* After going through the lengthy and counter-intuitive verification process, I could not understand the directions and ended up calling them over the phone before the Utah County Republican precinct caucus meeting. I was exited to vote and still be with my kids. When voting was supposed to happen the server was over loaded. Eventually the app stopped working. I had to reinstall and reverify. Could not vote. The next day I come to find out my precinct gave up on the app and just used paper ballots instead. Major let down. ### 5/5 — So easy to use! *2018-05-02, version 1.023* Voatz was super easy to use for our town’s voting process. Best of all the results were instant and we could see them in the app. Finally we can vote with phones! Amen. ### 1/5 — Sign up, validate, scan code, crash repeat... *2018-04-16, version 1.023* Just wow! What an epic failure of an app. I had to sign up several times, validate, scan and wait wait wait for a “connection issue”. Me and the 1400 ish Delegates ended up doing paper ballots which made our convention go several hours overtime. The whole circle of chaos drained my battery and my sanity. 👎🏼 ### 1/5 — Crashed, crashed and crashed again *2018-04-15, version 1.023* This app is terrible. Good thing there were backup paper ballots yesterday at the Utah County Republican Convention. Seriously awful ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2018-04-09, version 1.023* Quick to download. Quick to verify. I was able to vote in my schools student government election from my dorm and check out the results in only a couple minutes. ### 5/5 — Worked like a charm *2018-03-24, version 1.023* We used this app for our election and it worked really well, even with several thousand concurrent users. And the results were available instantaneously after the event. Does exactly what it’s supposed and does it really well. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No customer service *2026-02-19, version 1.052* Horrible customer service still haven’t received answers from issue I had 2 years ago went to log in recently for a new election had same issues and still have not heard back from a single person ### 1/5 — Garbage app *2025-02-22, version 1.050* No tech support. Sitting here on a weekend trying to vote using this app, but it’s all buggy and no one works for the app on a weekend. So I guess I just get to be disenfranchised by technology ### 1/5 — Barrier to voting *2025-02-21, version 1.050* This app is a barrier to voting for the visually impaired or anyone without a smart phone. ### 1/5 — Seems to have serious bugs *2024-05-02, version 1.050* My ID has been in pending for verification for a few days and when I try to contact them as tibia suggested, I don’t have permission. I’m guessing because I’m in Germany, but since things supposed to be do absentee voters, that’s not very helpful. ### 1/5 — Verification Broken *2022-10-03, version 1.047* This requires you to verify your identity (a good thing), however when I attempt to take a picture of my face the app will not take the picture. I have tried everything from getting into better lighting to changing what is in the background, it just will not take the photo. I am on a 3rd Generation SE and am wondering if it is because my front facing camera doesn't support Face ID. My wife using an iPhone 13 was able to verify with no issues. If this app requires a specific front facing camera it should really say that in the description, or give you the option to manually take the photo. ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-09-30, version 1.047* Identity verification requires both a photo of a government ID and a live photo of the voter taken within the app. The app is supposed to take these photos when you’ve positioned the ID Card/your head within the frames the app shows you. Problem: could not get it to take a photo of my face. I tried repositioning my face every which way, changing lighting, moving camera closer or farther, changing background. App never takes the picture. I conclude that this app is a complete waste of time. YMMV. ### 1/5 — Cumbersome, eventually gave up *2020-12-10, version 1.039* I tried to vote in Venezuela’s National Assembly’s Consulta Popular but couldn’t. Verification process is cumbersome. The election option didn’t show up at once so I gave it a day. Then I logged on and found I couldn’t access the app. When I finally did, they said the ID wasn’t verified, for which I sent I picture I believe was quite clear. I’ll have to go vote in person. I don’t recommend it. ### 1/5 — Awful *2020-12-08, version 1.039* Just downloaded and no code ### 1/5 — The app keeps crashing! *2020-12-07, version 1.039* This app is unable to work properly, I might think that it needs to be updated and fixed to the latest iOS ### 1/5 — Registration did not work *2020-04-11, version 1.030* Tried to register but even that failed. It sent me a text message with a code I was supposed to enter in. But it failed to send me an email that should have contained some sort of registration code. They have really got to get their system working. Can’t even send a lousy email??? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What a great concept *2023-11-05, version 1.050* I'm using this app in Florida. I love how easy it is to vote on the bills that are being considered in the special session. Great concept! ### 5/5 — Fantastic Idea *2023-08-15, version 1.050* This needs to be implemented at the federal level. This project and I hope it’s growth and continuation will be a big win for democracy globally. ### 5/5 — Great app for expat voting *2022-04-21, version 1.046* Oregon pioneered universal vote by mail in 1989 and now has a pilot project for military and expat voting using Voatz. The older reviews seem dated: my experience today was easy, seamless and secure. A great step forward in universal enfranchisement. ### 5/5 — Amazing experience *2020-12-09, version 1.039* Wow, who could have thought that voting out of your country and though an app would be possible? I’m happy I had the experience to try this app. The process was smooth. I had to contact customer support and they were so helpful and kind. Thanks guys! ### 5/5 — Consulta popular *2020-12-08, version 1.039* Excelente aplicación buscando el cambio de un pais ### 5/5 — An important and well-designed app *2020-09-30, version 1.034* This is a crucial app in this day and age. Easy to understand and use. ### 5/5 — Much needed breakthrough in election tech *2020-02-05, version 1.029* Secure and reliable. ### 5/5 — Future of voting *2018-10-22, version 1.024* The experience was great and made me more likely to vote in future elections. Platform is a work in progress but I like what I see so far!! ### 5/5 — So Convenient *2018-05-03, version 1.023* Superbly designed. Works really smoothly. Made voting easier for sure. ### 5/5 — Essentially pain free process *2018-05-03, version 1.023* This company is great. What a cool, new piece of tech to utilize for large congregations of polling and voting. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
