Don't Campiagn Without it!
Pros
I used this software and used list printed from Republican headquarters WHAT A TIME SAVER this software is. I went door to door for another campaign after losing in the primary. The other campaign did not use Ecanvasser Took me 3-4 times as long to cover the same area as it would have using Eanvasser!
Cons
A bit of a learning curve noth too difficult
More Work Needed
I enjoyed learning something new but the interface needs a lot of work to make key use cases simpler and more intuitive--both for canvassers and administrators.
Pros
The concept is great and the fact that it eliminates the post-canvass data entry bottleneck is hugely valuable because canvassers can stay out as long as they want--or canvass over a number of days--without worrying about getting the data back to a data entry person on time.
Cons
Assigning new canvassers to a canvass was time consuming and painful. I spent the first half hour of most of our canvassing sessions getting people to respond to the email, download the app, and assigning them to a canvass. While the version canvassers use on their phones is relatively simply to use, there are some annoying glitches. For example, there's no way to record whether a person has moved--or to take the name of the person now living at the address. Meanwhile, using the web version was painful. The process of cutting turfs isn't very intuitive. There's also no way to know how many doors are in the turf until you cut it and save it. If there are too many, you can delete it and try again--but there's no way to modify it otherwise. It would also be good to have a fast way to process people via the web version who unexpectedly show up to canvass. Something else that could be clearer is the process for printing out paper turfs. Many older canvassers preferred to record their data on paper--and then enter them into their phones afterwards. But trying to dope out how to do this was maddening. The printouts also lacked relevant data points, forcing people to take handwritten notes.
Great software that is invaluable with election campaigns
Time Saving - More accurate data recording.
Pros
The software makes recording data on real time much easier and colates all the data from our election campaigns in one place. The customer service is amazing.
Cons
Whilst the new layout is more visually appealing, some of the functionality has been lost - particularly with Caseworking.
Response from Ecanvasser
Hi and thanks for the review. Glad you are happy with the software and keen to help you with any issue you might have in regards to Caseworking. I don't believe we have changed anything on the caseworking functionality but you may be having issues finding it in the new interface. Why not drop us a message on our support chat box and we can help you get sorted out.
Great Support
It is great. I recommend it and have got several candidates and even a political party to use it.
Pros
When you are running campaigns on a limited budget, often you have to do without. I recommend Ecanvasser to all small campaigns with limited budgets. It gets the job done, is effective, and doesn't force you to buy extra stuff you don't need.
Cons
It imports to NationBuilder; however, the fields it imports could be improved upon.
Easy to use in field and review data captured
Pros
Ease of use, set your parameters and go.
Cons
Would have to reinstall frequently as the app would malfunction
Perfect product, perfect price point
Ecanvasser is always extremely responsive and their team is great at what they do.
Pros
This software is very easy for my clients to learn and easy for me to administrate on the back end. Plus, you can't beat the competitive pricing compared to other industry-leading products.
Cons
The software lacks the ability to color-code households, which would be helpful in many cases.

Great tool for canvassing
Pros
Amazing customer support! Very responsive to concerns and happy to make modifications on the fly to support the development of the app.
Cons
The app is very different on Android and iPhone, which makes training volunteers a bit tough. While the functionality is all there, it is in different spots and sometimes harder to get to. Also the ability add new users from the app versus the website would be helpful
Ecanvasser assessment
So far it has been extremely helpful and the support team is extremely helpful.
Pros
The ability to canvass with ease. It made it faster and more accessible with the technology ecanvasser provides.
Cons
I wish there was a functionality to select all members of a household at once and allow them to have the same support rating instead of selecting each individual separately.
Overall, we had a good experience.
Pros
The ease of use of the map features and the integration with the Nation Builder platform were the best features of the Ecanvasser software.
Cons
It would bump us off or close us out once in a while. Other than that, there were not many problems. It was very helpful.
Great mobile app
Pros
The app is wonderful. The houses are perfectly mapped out, which makes it easy to find the homes you are targeting.
Cons
Tricky to update your list. Formatting needs to be identical.
Great canvassing app, maps need work
Politically canvassing can be difficult, this app offers many great benefits to simplifying this process. Overall a great app, with some minor errors that are simple to overcome with sound logical thought
Pros
Great ease of use and functionality! I appreciate the simplicity
Cons
The maps function does not accurately place houses in the proper location.
Solid Application with room to grow
It was a good product, that could use some enhancements to make use smoother. The support team was helpful and I sure improvements have been implemented.
Pros
The user interface is great and very friendly.
Cons
Signing users up to canvas was a bit clunky and more difficult with folks who are not tech savvy.
Used for political campaign
If the crashes are fixed, I would recommend
Pros
the app was extremely easy to use for beginners
Cons
The app lagged quite a bit & would crash
App has limited features
The limited functionality of the app means we've ended up using it minimally because we need our canvassers to use their phones when canvassing
Pros
Very easy to organize teams on the site and send out invites
Cons
Very limited functionality on the app; no way to access surveys on the app; app crashes/freezes often
Good
It's a good software that makes my work easier and i don't have to bring paper and pen everywhere anymore
Pros
It's comfortable to use and the layout is mostly good, it simply make my work easier
Cons
Sometimes unclear of which house you have visited
E-canvasser has been gold.
My experience with e-canvasser so far has been gold. I haven't had any issues using the software, the apps, or other administrative features. It has been incredibly useful in the field too.
Pros
The software is extremely accessible and easy to use. I really admire the quickness of data syncing from cell phones and tablets.
Cons
I don't have any cons, but would enjoy a phone-banking software included with the canvassing service too.

eCanvasser is an excellent tool for canvassing homes for political campaigns.
The greatest benefit is the ability to assign as many canvassers as we like, without additional licenses. Operationally, our teams have been able to move a lot quicker in canvassing voting districts. We also like the custom fields, allowing us to use this as our primary data source.
Pros
eCanvasser is focused on canvassing homes, instead of trying to be a be all end all of campaign operations. It is fairly easy to use. Hands down, customer service is outstanding. They respond quickly via email, and it is easy to talk to a live person. I like the control I have with the data, and unlimited custom fields I can create. The other big pro is their license model. I can assign as many volunteer canvassers as I want without an additional charge. All other services I found charge a license per user. This gives a budget tight campaign a lot of flexibility in using volunteers.
Cons
The data model needs some maturing. When creating groups, you have to select voters to put in that group. That's no biggy. But if you append the master database, the changes to a voters record do not aggregate to the record you placed within your groups. The Canvass Types are static. I would like to be able to create additional types, and select my own color. Canvassers also have to drill down too much to get to data they need at the door. Their are a few areas where it could be more intuitive. However, these are easily overcome with additional training. Overall, the product is great. We will continue using the product, and ensure our needs are input to developers for future enhancements.
Response from Ecanvasser
Hi and thanks for the feedback. We are currently addressing custom canvass statuses to give you more flexibility. As regards appending the master database and how this affects groups we are looking to develop Dynamic Groups also in the medium term.
A Software that is almost there
Ecanvasser has met most of my campaign needs.
Pros
The maps are good. The ease of access to features is good. Switching between campaigns is easy.
Cons
The clustering of houses into blocks is very frustrating. It seems that when I first started using Ecanvasser over a year ago that each house showed up separately on the map. Now, however, they are bunched together and in a very random order. Sometimes, the first house on the street shows up on the map very far past other houses on the map, because one might be odd and the other even. The biggest problem of all is that sometimes (often), one must enlarge the screen massively in order to uncover "hidden" blocks of houses. If Ecanvasser could undo these problems, which I do not recall from my campaign in fall 2017, I would really like it.
Great for Campaigns
I have had great experience with Ecanvasser so far.
Pros
The ease of use on the back end of thee software is amazing! I have used Ecanvasser on a few campaigns now and the data manipulation is fantastic.
Cons
The biggest problem I have is with the groups and maps. Neither works together well. I would like to see when I put a group together and click on the map that it only shows that group and not everything assigned to me or another canvasser.
ECanvasser may be the best I've found, but there's room for improvement
Y'all have a great app. The customer support team (in particular) is excellent. Even all the way here in the States I felt my campaigns got the attention they needed. You should think about integrating phone-banking, would basically conquer the world.
Pros
Ease of use. Simple for anyone to download the app and get going. Many different ways to cut turf (or not) and organize walks.
Cons
Billing is difficult. As a consultant, I wish I could charge multiple accounts on multiple different cards, rather than having to set different owners for every account. Additionally, there are some kinks that need to be worked out regarding canvasses at the household or individual level. Regardless of where the data goes, it shouldn't affect functionality of the backend as much as it does.
Great if added more functions
Pros
The basic functionality was fine- straight forward to learn.
Cons
It was frustrating that there was no "moved" option- our team had to add this to the notes and manually deal with that data. We would have also liked to have the reports come out in a way that allowed us to sort multiple survey response answers.
It also would have made it easier if the maps view showed only houses/ people on that canvasser's individual turf, rather than all houses/ people.
It was also difficult having a limit to the number of turfs we could draw/ the price going up for adding more canvassers to the system.
Solid product
Pros
Very useful for a local campaign, especially when you have an existing data source
Cons
App occasionally crashes, but support is good. Would like to be able to more easily do bulk updates / data import
Review for Ecanvasser app
Pros
The software is easy to use, as a campaign manager i was able to follow the volunteers for the project, the assistance was amazing : i had a quick response for every question i asked
Cons
The app Go Ecanvasser had too much bug and didn't work for old phones which made the work hard and complicated for our volunteers and campaign staffer.
Good foundation, needs more development
Overall, our experience with Ecanvasser was not the best. In the future, we'd probably look for another option before reconsidering this platform.
Pros
Ecanvasser has a good start. The platform has some good solid foundations.
Cons
Still needs a lot more work to fix all the bugs, trip ups, glitches, and crashes.
Response from Ecanvasser
Thanks for the feedback Nikita, I think the product has moved on significantly in the past two years since you used it. Would love to see you back to see new functionality and reliability of the product.

Great for Doorknocking!
Worked with eCanvasser on a municipal political campaign
Pros
Very easy and intuitive to use while doorknocking
Cons
Sometimes it took too many clicks to get to the correct screen details
Easy to use, if I could not figure out something their tech dept was a real help
