Oh I just saw you shut down the app.
What was the reasoning? Were you not getting enough use and participation? No downloads? Did you fail to execute the concept in some way?

It probably would have been helpful to write it in something like PhoneGap (now Apache Cordova) to increase engagement, but I was using it partially as an exercise to learn Objective-C and iOS. > What was the reasoning?

At around 100 registered users, I felt it wasn't enough interest in the app to keep going. Some of the feedback I got through the App Store included not seeing all the available candidates (like lesser third party candidates) for a given election. Since I was entering elections by hand and not using a third party API to get the information, there was alway some information missing from the lesser elections. Also, after the 2012 election was over, I didn't see the purpose of maintaining an app that wouldn't be used for at least another 2 years. Its something you need to be dedicated for in the long haul.
