Ratings and reviews

this app simply doesn't work. I can log in on mobile web but the app fails and I can't get into it. On mobile web trying to make a post is impossible as every keystroke send the cursor to the beginning of the textarea and duplicates the entire word as it's typed. this may not be the worst app I've used but it's certainly not a good one for a mobile device.

The new changes are terrible!!! Horrible layout, no gallery tab, so you have to scroll through all posts to find pictures. You have really downgraded the app and website!! We have lost half our followers, as they can no longer login or navigate through the site. The story used to be collapsed, now you have to scroll through the whole thing to see the latest posts. It feels like the website and app are straight out of the 90's.

Great tool. I've used Caring Bridge several times over the years. It's been wonderful at saving time keeping friends and family informed so I could commit more time supporting my family member who is sick. The app is a handy extension of the website. However, both the app and the website are due for updates. The interfaces are clunky and awkward by modern standards. Why can't I see all the journal entries in one list? Why is it so difficult to figure out how to get back to journal entries from?
