App Users can switch from List View to Map View and can filter services that are just open from the side menu. Users can click on any service to get details like contact info, transit directions and schedule for that service. Flag button on Home Screen will help you connect to the App Admin or Service Provider for that resource. Users can click on Kudos button to show appreciation for the services they like. If you want to mark any service for future reference, click on the star icon in service detail page to add them to My Favorites.

If you are doing community service and interested in listing your service, you can add/manage a service by signing up in the app. You can also update the number of beds available for shelters that you manage. All details entered by the service providers will take some time to get approved before getting published in the app. If you have any questions or see information that is not up to date, please report changes using Give Feedback in side menu.

Ratings and reviews

Only has US shelter info, not particularly useful in the UK, EU, BR or anywhere else. Not a fully up to date list either, missing at least one LGBT shelter in Pittsburgh. If this app ever includes shelters and services in other countries too at least, it would make a lot of difference

I tried this app for a couple months,and cannot count how many times I walked or took a bus to one of their listed churches or resource centers that offered showers or clothing or food giveaways,only to find they changed the hours or days ,and couldn't help me! Finally,I gave up on the Strappd app because I couldn't count on the information in it. Massive waste of time..

I'll give you three stars only because I believe your heart is in the right place. There is, however, next to nothing for my area, though I know of several resources and food pantries in my town that failed to come up. As a matter of fact, when I clicked on food pantries , it said that there was nothing in my area when I can think of five off the top of my head. I tried to send feedback through the app, but then it froze, causing me to log out of the app and now considering deletion.
