Hillary Clinton iPhone app aims to drum up and reward supporters - CNET

"Hillary 2016" isn't just a campaign slogan. It's also a new iOS app designed for people who want to see Hillary Clinton as the next president.

Launched on Sunday for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, the app is served up by the Hillary for America campaign. Hillary 2016 tests your knowledge about the pressing issues, offers daily challenges to help elect Clinton, shares news and information about the Democratic candidate and gives you the ability to set up your own virtual campaign headquarters.

You can also compete against friends and fellow Hillary supporters to see who knows the most about Clinton, and recruit other friends to join in.

The new app underscores the importance that personal technology plays in the campaign. Both Clinton and Trump have been using social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook extensively to reach prospective voters.

The Trump campaign has no mobile app of its own, though Trump detractors have unveiled apps that spoof the Donald, including Trump Dump and Punch the Trump. The Clinton campaign itself has joined in on the hijinks by releasing Trump Yourself, an app that overlays Trump's more controversial Idea on your Facebook page.
