Make the PRIMARY results available here...
NachoMama520
Just switched from an Android device to an iPhone, which I mainly count as a positive. However, I was ALWAYS able to keep track of ALL of the Washington State elections- even the primaries! With the type of primary elections we currently have in the state, we need this to be available. I am even willing to pay for the app to track the candidates in our “jungle primary.” I have a Samsung tablet that has this info, but I don’t carry it in my pocket. I want this on my PHONE.
Easy to use, easy to follow races

This app makes it super easy to "favorite" the races I'm most interested in. Also easy to find them in the first place! Includes initiatives and super local races. Wish I could use it for races across the country.
Why with favorites?

This app does a a good job organizing the different results. But I’ve set my favorites several times today alone (not just when I first downloaded the app). It seems that if I I’m lucky I can keep my settings for an hour.
Buggy, never works

Worked last night, this morning no data displayed, this happens every election. Tried closing & reopening, deleting and reinstalling. Still doesn’t work, just have background picture showing. Super disappointing.
Thumbs up!

This is good start and definitely will evolve into something much greater. I found it very useful to be able to see results in the iPhone application format. Good work!
Solid start

Nice app. I find myself wishing that I didn't have to drill down for each race, e.g. the Congressional races. Just show them all topline and let me drill in. The other HUGE weakness is that unlike the website it does not show the time that the last ballots were actually dropped in. Still a great start. Just bring it to parity with your already excellent website, and you are all done.
Helpful, but too fragmented

This is a good start, but I hope it will be improved for future elections. The data is very fragmented; you have to constantly drill down to every individual result that you are interested in - and you have to remember exactly what district etc. you are interested in. To be honest, this kept me from using this application very much. Three things would really improve this app in my opinion. First, and I think most importantly: flatten a lot of the data so the user can simply scroll through a list of current totals rather than having to drill down on each race individually. Second, and less important but would be hugely helpful: allow the user to mark "favorites", and present the results of all those (and nothing else) on a special Favorites list, so the user can easily see the races/measures that they are most interested in without the clutter of other items. Third, allow the user to enter their address so that they don't have to go research what ballot items apply to them separately. (Try to look it up their address in their address book first, but allow them to override it so that they can easily look up results for a friend or relative) Then show the corresponding races and measures, allowing the user to easily favorite any or all of the results. (I suggest not automatically adding the results to their favorites, specifically so that they can look at results for friends/family without suddenly having a bunch of favorites that they don't want and now have to go remove, being careful to not remove any that they actually do want.) Another feature that I would love: since a lot of the measure names can be confusing, it would be great if I could indicate my desired result in a given race or measure, and the app would show some icon or something indicating how well (or how poorly) each choice is doing, and perhaps an overview of that info ("13 of 20 items going your way" sort of thing). If this were available before the actual election, I could even use it as a kind of voter's guide, where I note my preferences as I research, then when it comes time to actually vote, I can refer to the app to remind myself of what I chose for each item.
Not enough info

This app is sub par! It only shows the state results for elected officials and state initiatives and national results. Not a good app if you want to know what is happening at the local level.
