About MiniVAN

MiniVAN is a mobile canvassing application that integrates with websites provided by NGP VAN. The MiniVAN system allows users to export canvassing lists from VAN onto an iOS or Android device. Canvassers can then enter data into their device as they talk to people on their list. When the canvassers connect their device to the Internet over a wireless or cellular network, they can upload their data back to the VAN with the touch of a button. Administrative users on the VAN can then review the data and apply it to the database in one quick step.

Canvassing with MiniVAN allows NGP VAN clients to spend more time and resources on actually contacting people instead of on data entry. What’s more, it virtually eliminates the lag time between collecting canvass results and putting that data to work.

Can't even log in. What a terrible user experience for the app and the desktop program. I can't believe that they charge so much for systems that are barely better than a spreadsheet.

I could initially us this app for a couple of weeks on my new Samsung Galaxy 7 then it just STOPPED!! I've powered off and tried to reinstall. It would reinstall however it stopped. I couldn't even get to the site to enter my email and password. Very frustrating as I have volunteering for the Bi elections in Calgary on a daily basis the past month!!

Update on Tuesday has totally screwed the programme. Completely unusable. Developer should roll back to the previous version until they can make the update stable...

Just downloaded app. It dumps the list every time I log out and does not retain information from last session. Sync DOES NOT WORK! !

Branched scripts simply don't work, at least not with activist codes. That's a shame.

N70%
by N####:

Poorly designed, poorly execute, and rife with misspellings. Data entry fields do not scroll.

Please send this to your app developer, so they can address the bug. My email address has an underscore in it. When I tried to create a new account, the character I entered after the underscore (a letter) appeared as another underscore. I also tried cutting and pasting the email address, but Minivan gave this error and would not let me proceed: "The email address provided is invalid. Please check the value and try again." I am using an Android ( Samsung S6) I got 6 months ago, no other known input issues.

I am seeing the same problem in the every Legislative District in that the location of houses is always displayed in a different than actual location. In my LD it adds another twist in that it flips the order of the house numbers on every block making routing almost impossible.

The early voting information was too much for the program and now my samsung galaxy 7edge can't even log in. What's going on? Please fix this as I'm using it for the election.

Cool app

Its really great for canvassing but the map doesn't really work so you need to go by house. Also, if you go down in the list, sometimes when you click on a household and then go back, it resets you to the top of the list which is annoying if you are only doing house at the bottom of a list. Fortunately though, you can search by street so it isn't too big of a deal.

Overall this app has worked quite well for me. My only real complaint is the geocoding for addresses is off....ranging from a little inaccurate to entire streets placed backwards. The ability to delete lists and get rid of clutter would be nice.

Maps are unusable compared to the maps on the iOS version

Completely rewrote my review after an update. Interesting new feature: branching scripts! Wish you could use those in VPBs too.... Not sure if auto-synch is a good idea, we'll see how it goes. This app is much better than clipboards! Highly recommend.

Can no longer see age without going into detail view and cannot see political orientation anywhere. Two of the main features on the quick view and they are gone.

Recent update sorted the status list alphabetically. Pls put list in frequency order, starting with Not Home. Also, latest version doesn't autozoom map to turf properly. There doesn't seem to have been any real user testing.

Please bring back so when you view who is in a household it has age on it as well as gender

Allow to filter the map by status: canvassed or to-do ; review the map clustering, it seems helpful but at the end it makes it difficult as clicking on a cluster often makes no point visible and you got to pan to find them. The address are not always accurate and the clustering makes it really hard to plan. A navigation feature would be awesome.

Y70%
by Y####:

Too many click to get to user details. Those should appear when you choose a name. The talking script is not as important. Getting to know who you are talkng to matters more. The address should be Google Maps integrated so you click the address and it brings up a map. it would also be helpful to have a canvassing route highlighted.

It is very user friendly but when I run it on my Samsung it won't let me exit the app, I constantly have to restart my phone to get out of it.

This app helped me canvas for Bernie in New York City. Though there was a few things I wish I could change ,its overall not bad . Like when you get to a big building as somebody else mentioned when you select a voter it will not go back to where you would already scrolled but it will go back to the top which is very frustrating especially when you are talking to somebody like a doorman trying to get in. But it was helpful and it helped me do my job and I'm grateful for that Bernie for president 2016.

I'm not sure if the matching of addresses with map locations is done by the database owner or the MiniVAN software, but when I was using this software, I found that in some neighborhoods the street addresses were geographically reversed. For example, house number 800 was at the east end of the street instead of the west end. The mapping function needs more work. That being said, it is a vast improvement over paper lists.

It's worthless. Can't find a list.

The map feature is grossly inaccurate. Why is this not using Google Maps? The house locations are so inscrutable I have to look them up in the Google maps app. Synchronizing should also not completely reset your list.

After updating to 7.3, can no longer tap & hold to quickly mark a person or household as not home. That capability was a big time saver. Fix it & my rating w/be a 4 or 5.

On Android, after entering any voter data, "return" takes me to the very beginning of the list. I have to scroll and scroll and look and look to return to the names I am canvassing on the 56th floor. "Return" should take one back to the same place on the voter list. AND it is slow to load and reload and to open up a voter record.
