Given the otherdramasurrounding the Donald Trump campaign , you could be forgive for not comment that theorange - hairedone has unfreeze a young app .
Launchedlast weekto absolutely zero fanfare , the app is the campaign ’s first diligence . Dubbed “ America First , ” the app is just the belated seek to gamify the elector experience . Although the execution is different , the experience is n’t unlike thetruly joyless mobile gameHillary released last month . citizenry like game , admit the American political horse race . Trump ’s app is similarly uninspiring .
After lumber into the app — which is available foriOSandAndroid — user are bid to “ clear ” action point by make out tasks like watch hunting expedition ad , donating to Trump , and share picture to Facebook .
harmonise to the App Store verbal description , you could also delay up to date on campaign newsworthiness ( because there is no other source of information about the Trump campaign out there ) , meet up with other admirer ( which sounds like the worst interlingual rendition of Tinder ever ) , and “ earn prize ” for unlocking “ especial activistic badge . ”The most comic part is the countdown until “ we shoot down Crooked Hillary . ”
While the app promises many more features in the week ahead , right now it ’s a half - assed usage in complacence . It ’s as if the Trump campaign realized , “ yeah , we postulate an app , ” and then purchase one off the shelf .
But the awfulness of the app has n’t stopped the rave revaluation from pouring in on bothiTunesandGoogle Play .
Signing up for the app requires an email destination , Facebook account , or phone number . This almost for sure think of you ’re now on some Trump supporter tilt in the sky .
Of course , despite the yuge reviews , it await like very few factual citizenry are using the app . Only 575 mass have take in the Trump idiot box advertizement , and only 1149 masses have signed up to receive text alerts .
According to the app ’s built - in leaderboard , it looks like around 6,000 Trump helper have installed it so far .
divertingly , the software bears a strong resemblance to an app give up by theTed Cruz campaignearlier this class . That ’s not a co-occurrence . Political Social Media LLC , which operate under the nameuCampaign , made both apps . UCampaign looks like a full-grown actor in the right - annexe digital infinite . It also create apps for theNRAand the Rand Paul for Senate cause . It even made an appsupporting the Brexit .
All the apps are identical in their frightful , inimical invention . Sad !
