About this app

During a health journey, everyone wants to know what’s going on, and how they can help. Public social media isn’t always the right place to share medical details, and it’s too hard to keep up with individual emails, texts and calls. CaringBridge offers a safe, secure place for patients and caregivers to provide health updates, and for family and friends to respond with messages of emotional support and prayers.

• Free, with no ads
• Each site has 3 privacy settings
• Connect to GoFundMe for personal fundraising
• CaringBridge is a global 501(c)3 nonprofit; founded in 1997

Ratings and reviews

The app is very buggy and doesn't open sometimes. Certain elements of the page do not work when viewed on the app. For example, you cannot see who liked a journal entry through the app but you can if you use the website version. Photos also appear blurry at times. Journal entry date and time stamps are also inaccurate.

While great in concept, the execution of this app is clunky and hard to use. The button to approve visitors is hidden in settings icon. It would be easier if it had a dedicated button on the main page. Also photos I upload on app keep disappearing. Uploading photos on website is no prob. Be careful with donations. It gives you an error message after you enter cc info making you think it didn't go through. It goes through alright and hits your cc activity right away. Uninstalling! Go to website

Although the app was functional early on in my use as an Author for a family member, the mobile app has become progressively worse after use over a few weeks. I am unable to add any photos or write a journal without issues with the cursor moving downward on the page on its own. I've already uninstalled/re-installed the app without any positive results. Please resolve issues so we can properly use the mobile app as you promote it to be for sharing health updates with family and friends.
