What's New: The Redesigned Mobile App

We've redesigned the Ecanvasser mobile app to help you and your team canvass faster. Here's a full breakdown of what's changed and why.

Home Page: New Insight into User Activity

The Home page is a landing page that gives you everything you need at the start of your day when you open the app.

  • Turf Assignments, Appointments, and Actions appear at the top, so you can see exactly where you're door-knocking today or what appointments you have set.

  • Stats cards are configurable. Set them up to show the numbers that matter most to you or your team: doors knocked, successful conversions, interactions per hour, and more.

  • Scripts and Key Messages now live right on the Home page, so your team's messaging is visible as soon as the app opens.

Planner: Moved to Home

The Planner is now on the Home page, in the top-left corner. Your Planner holds all of your scheduled appointments, as well as any upcoming Actions you plan to attend.

Search: Now on Every Page

Search is now available at the top of every view in the app. Whether you're on the map, in a contact list, or in your planner, search is always in the same spot.

Bulk Actions: Do More in Fewer Taps

Most items in the app are also long-pressable now, letting you canvass or delete houses, contacts, and map pins without multiple clicks.

You can now take bulk actions across multiple houses or contacts at once:

  • Select more than one house or contact to record interactions across all of them in a single pass.

  • Delete multiple contacts or houses at once instead of repeating the same steps individually.

  • Drop multiple pins with fewer clicks for a block of houses that need adding and log the interaction once for each, instead of one at a time.

House & Contact Bottom Sheet

Previously, tapping a house or contact took you straight into the canvass form or interaction screen. Now, tapping a house or contact opens a bottom sheet first, giving you a quick view before committing to filling anything in.

If you want to log a quick canvass, that's still one tap away under the three-dot menu on the bottom sheet.

Route Planner: New Look + Build From Current View

The Route Planner has a cleaner, easier-to-read design, and you can now generate a route directly from your current map view.

Instead of building a route point by point, pan and zoom the map to the area you want to cover, then generate a route straight from that view.

Tablet View: Map and List Side by Side

On tablets, the map and list are now shown side by side, so you no longer need to flip back and forth between "where am I" and "who's on my list."

Auto-Sync: Faster Updates

Auto-Sync has been improved to update more quickly. Cross-device canvasses and other updates now sync within seconds instead of minutes, giving your team more real-time visibility in the field.

Note: This update only takes effect if Auto-Sync is turned on. Check your App Settings to make sure it's enabled and stays on.

Summary of Changes

  • New Home page with turf, stats, scripts, and key messages all in one place

  • Search at the top of every screen

  • Planner now on the Home page

  • Bulk actions and long-press support for one-click interactions and pin drops

  • Redesigned Route Planner

  • Faster Auto-Sync
