Ratings and reviews

I think this app is actually a really neat lesson in gamifying doing good! It's really cool to have an app that makes giving blood feel great! I feel more motivated than ever to give blood (and part of that is because I'm o- and they reward their "universal hero-"es pretty handsomely), but just in general it's a very positive, comfortable experience. Plus, free swag and even gift cards! Also you can input your preferred name and gender identity, too (though there's no enby option available).

it freezes up and I have to give the wrong answer and go back to fix it. Plus, I don't know if it's the same with other phones (I have a Pixel), the next and back buttons are too low so it's easy to hit the navigation buttons on my phone. Also, I wish it would autofill name and birthdate. I only use it because it's easier than doing it onsite. It definitely can stand to be improved.

Great app, just used it this past week and showed another person there how to get it and use it. Unfortunately there was an issue where I had booked a time, got confirmation, had the rapid pass, but the woman at the sign in desk said I wasn't in their list and was going to reject me. I made a fuss about it she got in, but I question how quickly the app communicates to the persons running the donations. Otherwise would give a five. Don't understand others not being able to get it to work at all.
