Reach is the grassroots organizing app that lets you truly meet people where they are, build relationships, manage your team, and get results. Originally built by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's groundbreaking campaign, this canvassing and relational organizing app is changing the way progressives connect with voters and supporters. Reach's direct search features let your team find voters and collect data from them in person or online, turning every voter interaction into a canvassing attempt. The relational organizing features allow each user to build and activate their own personal network of voters including both people they've known for years and new people they meet during their work. The home screen, live chat, push notifications, and gamification make Reach the perfect digital organizing hub for your volunteers and activists. Plus, best-in-class accessibility features like expandable multilingual support, full offline access, and the ability to override core voter file data like dead-names make Reach is an inclusive tool that is welcoming to everyone in the movement. Anyone can download Reach and create an account, but the action begins when your campaign joins the app. Check with your campaign to see if they’re using Reach yet so they can get you plugged in. You can join as many campaigns as you like with the same Reach account. If you are a representative of a righteous progressive campaign or organization and you're interested in using Reach to revolutionize your field efforts, please visit us at www.reach.vote to get started.
The Lore
Read full descriptionHide full description
A quiet place to gather what matters. Lore is an archive for your group's shared history — built around a ritual rather than a feed. One memory of the day, surfaced from what you've collected together. Quiet, considered, worth pausing for. What you can preserve — Artifacts: photos, scans, documents, recordings — Stories: the context that gives an artifact meaning — People: who was there, who it mattered to — Places, recipes, traditions — anything worth keeping How it works Each day, one memory surfaces from your group's archive. A photo from twenty years ago. A story someone wrote down. A recipe passed down. A recording of a voice you'd otherwise forget. You read it, respond if you like, and let it pass — until tomorrow. Members submit what they want to preserve. Each piece is curated and scheduled before it surfaces. The archive grows with intention, not noise. Built for any group with shared history — Families across generations — Camps, churches, neighborhoods, bands — Anyone whose memory is bigger than one person's Not a social network. Not a feed. A library with a heartbeat. Begin an archive. Invite the people who share it. Let one memory at a time keep what would otherwise be lost.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: The Lore at every 8 days against Reach's every 3 months. Reach's advantage is iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
