User Reviews

Users praise MiniVAN Touch for syncing across devices, being easier than paper, and generally intuitive for field use and quick updates. However, they repeatedly report reliability and UX problems: proximity sorting often doesn’t show the closest houses, routing is weak and lists can reset or data can disappear when switching campaigns, leading to lost progress. Stability issues and battery drain are common, as are complaints about privacy and data access. Reviewers also want fewer taps and better map-based routing. Overall: useful tool in theory, but reliability and user experience issues hinder everyday canvassing.

Pros

Syncs well across devices
Easier than paper for canvassing
Intuitive and easy to use for many volunteers
Helpful for quick field updates and accessing information

Cons

Proximity and ordering issues—the app does not reliably show the closest houses and GPS-based lists can be inaccurate
Data loss or disappearance when switching lists or campaigns, leading to lost progress
Stability and performance problems—crashes, slowdowns, and extra taps due to UI changes
Privacy concerns—requests full data access and potential data sharing/spam
Weak routing/map features—poor Next House/Next Door ordering and lack of map-based routing

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!

Whose side are you on NGP? I used this app in 2016 and in 2018. It was never this bad. I think it’s no coincidence it became privately owned in 2021. There are foxes in the henhouse! Or prove me wrong and make this app not suck.
