Ratings and reviews

Great app to make appointments, the make similar appointment button is fantastic. The last few times I tried to complete the RapidPass on the app, it didn't work. I would suggest the ability to add pertinent information to change your ability to donate (i.e. receiving vaccines, antibiotics, STDs, etc.). This would limit inapplicable notifications and would make it easier for the donor to track when they're able to give again.

Good for showing information about blood drives & locations, but lacks tools to make this information useful. Most importantly, it lacks a filter for appointment availability. The (poorly-designed) filtering tools allow one to specify a location and search radius and a (limited) date range, but not to filter out drives where no appointments are available! You have to look at detail of every drive in a long list to find an available appointment. Lack of this critical feature makes it frustrating.

**Edited 8/13/20 Had to just remove from my phone, the information just doesn't sync, won't let me schedule an appt at a drive. Just easier to use the website.** Original review: If you schedule an appt to give the day of, or even the day before using the app, it will not show up at the site, so they double book it with walk ins. Also, it still hasn't synced with my donor info allowing me to do the fast check in. Just some bugs to work out I guess.
