My donations did not show up on my Relay for Life account. I shared from app to Facebook. The donations went into American Cancer Society account. Called 2 differant 800 phone numbers and both said funds cannot be transferred back to my Relay account. This app is awful and I am deleting it. I will only now use the Relay for Life webpage to fundraise.

This needs to be more user friendly like the dashboard online.

Works much better than it did last year! Love it!

Works great and fast

Very frustrating to use!! Have to log out and go back to the old Making Strides app just to be able to see who's donating. Can't click on anyone or anything. Also not getting notifications when people are donating. Hoped this year it would actually work.

After having problems getting logged on with my new phone, I called ACS and they got to work fixing the problem. Received a email stating that the app had been fixed and was now compatible with my android 7.0 phone.

I'm a co-captain & can't even access team member list! I have money to put on a different team member, as it is money raised by that person. I can't even access my team's roster to apply the money to the proper team member with this app, and I am co-captain of the team.

Evelyn Munday January 25, 2017

I am now walking away from my third donation because I can't get this app to work. I have stopped promoting it as a fundraising tool to my team members because it is SO unreliable. IF I can get it to take a picture, and IF I can get it to acknowledge the checks are on US funds, I inevitability get the donation rejected email. FRUSTRATED!! Emailed ACS requesting assistance and got no response.

Carol Jamison March 2, 2017

I was very happy with the app earlier this season but now it won't let me log in. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several times and all I get is the spinning wheel. As an event lead, I've promoted this app often. I hate to tell them to disregard as it doesn't work. I was very excited about this app and am now highly disappointed. Its over a year old so these types of bugs should be non-existent. I hope the issues are resolved soon.

Much better It's getting much better. Wish we could put our in kind donations cause those help support our Relay too

Alex Ranc February 14, 2017

I've been trying to get this app to open for an hour. It just keeps spinning. I've lost so many donations because of it.

Lisa Engle February 3, 2017

Will not log on no matter which method I use. Tried Facebook Google and typing in my email and password. Nothing ever happens just keeps loading.

Allen Holtz February 24, 2017

The app downloads but will not log-in no matter what I try. The app just spins and spins and spins. The app does NOT WORK with Android 7.1.1. Forget it. App stinks.

Jordan Bartlett February 25, 2017

Can't even log in on the app! Very inconvenient when I have my phone with me all the time. Can't take my donations! It sucks!!

Johnathon Musgrove March 2, 2017

I love it when it works but now I have an Honor 8 it will not get past the login screen. Just loads forever after entering my credentials.

Valentino Lovato January 25, 2017

I've downloaded the app three times. App won't let me login for any reason.

Showdow Grayhawk March 2, 2017

It has crashed with logging in with Facebook.

February 2, 2017

Works great! Paypal donations have been perfect and I can see all our teams progress.

Antoine Kepczyk February 2, 2017

Literally won't even load past the log in screen...

Amy Cedars March 26, 2017

The app was so much easier last year. There is no where to enter cash amounts.

Sam Swanson February 7, 2017

It said that I wasn't registered when I actually am

Roselynn Stoy October 15, 2016

Abnor Mel October 2, 2016

nic b July 18, 2016

Can't accept checks It took about 20 attempts to photograph a check and it was approved on Friday and now I've woken up to an email saying the download didn't work!!! Very frustrating!!! Told me to get the latest version of the ap, which I have 😕

American Cancer Society July 25, 2016

Worthless for checks Cannot get it to take a photo of a check to save my life.

I can't get a working link thru text to send folks so they can join our team

Erin Goldman July 20, 2016

Nice to always look at how much your team raised

Yvette M. Lama June 3, 2016

Convenient FUNdraising On-The-Go Easy to use and SO convenient--Especially with the ability to process credit cards and checks in "real time." With this app, you'll meet or exceed your fundraising goals!! Encourage all your team members to download this app today!!

Laura Frankhouser June 6, 2016

Team Alverson Very easy to use and I'd love to be able to keep track my team's progress and get credit cards processed and checks processed quickly.

LANI Munoz May 3, 2016

Loved it till.... I download relay for life awhile ago and everything worked fine. Then I upgraded to this version and had login issues as well as issues with sending messages and asking for donations. It does not give me any options to select from when I click send message. No email no text no Facebook etc. I hope they fix this issue so I can love this app as much as previous one.

Kati Westcott April 21, 2016

I love this App! I absolutely love being able to enter checks immediately when I get them and see my fundraising total go up immediately! It is so easy to use. I also like being able to send text messages to my contact list on on my phone to ask for donations. Makes it so easy. Thank you for this great tool!

Ben Kaplan April 21, 2016

Upgraded version resolved a bug I was experiencing. Thanks ACS. The new FUNdraising app is great b/c now I don't need two separate apps to help fundraise and track funds. I like the new look and feel and it seems to be much faster than previous versions. I wish it allowed payment via Android Pay...

katie chiocca April 24, 2016

I had to reach out for assistance as I was getting an error message when I tried to log in. Up and running now, thanks Ben!

Cassie M April 27, 2016

Asking people to join. Hi like the new app but am disappointed because I'm unable to use the making strides app anymore and can't ask people to join my team like I have in previous years. Can you help?

Sarah Yingling May 1, 2016

I can't log in to this app I have tried many of time to log in. I've changed my password more than once, but it just keeps telling me to migrate my account. Which makes no sense, I have tried everything.

Heather Sewczak April 27, 2016

Fundraising made easy, bugs fixed! Everyone was raving, so I had to try. Love this app!

Chrissy Seals July 7, 2016

I love the new ACS FUNdraising app! It is so easy for me to post to my Facebook page and links directly to my fundraising page. For my personal use, it allows me to keep up with my donation activity, the main page shows how close I am to my fundraising goal.
