This is the place to donate blood and platelets!! ### 5/5 — Donation experience *2026-08-18, version 2.25.0* I love the app. I like watching when my blood gets processed and where it is used. It’s like a little of me has traveled to all these places. Great experience with drawing my blood at the Delta Air Lines blood drive yesterday. She was very good at explaining each step even though it was my 100th unit of blood being drawn he treated me like it was my first! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-08-16, version 2.25.0* Such an easy APP to use for the BEST cause ever.. Donating Blood / Giving Life. ### 5/5 — Easy as pie *2026-08-15, version 2.25.0* From start to finish it was a breeze. Brook took good care of me and all the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable. It’s a small way to help others in need. I am humbled and thankful each time I’m able to give. Thank you all for making it a positive experience. ### 5/5 — Giving Blood *2026-08-15, version 2.25.0* Staff is friendly and always welcoming at the center. While giving blood the staff always assures that I feel comfortable and safe. ### 5/5 — Smart scheduling *2026-08-14, version 2.25.0* I love how smart scheduling is able to find blood donation places. I went away for a week and I was able to find a local donation spot,see what time slots were available, and schedule an appointment right from the app. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-14, version 2.25.0* Great app for blood donation ### 5/5 — Loyal Platelet Donator *2026-08-13, version 2.25.0* Next week I hope to successfully donate 3 Units of Platelets, which will be my 18th donation. Personally contributing to saving and/or sustaining lives, is more rewarding to me, like nothing else. This is my way of giving back, because I can🩸 ### 5/5 — Great experience *2026-08-13, version 2.25.0* This was the first time we donated in CO after moving cross country.

We have booked our next donation! ### 5/5 — So Important *2026-08-12, version 2.25.0* I’m always so happy to donate blood. It’s the one thing that I can do to give back. The phlebotomist that worked there are always so kind and considerate. I’m so appreciative of the work that they do. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — STOP CALLING ME!!! *2026-08-25, version 2.25.0* I am being badgered almost daily. STOP CALLING ME!!! I will NEVER give blood again! ### 1/5 — Easy to use, doesn’t integrate well with locations. *2026-08-24, version 2.25.0* Easy to use, but if they say you have a reservation on-line, doesn’t mean anything - can be waiting 45-60 minutes to get initial interview. Location will tell you the app is not efficient or good ### 1/5 — Something is off *2026-08-19, version 2.25.0* Does not seem to work with IOS 26.6.1 on IPhone SE. Get splash screen then locks. ### 1/5 — Long wait times *2026-08-19, version 2.25.0* I drove twenty minutes to my scheduled appointment. Told it would be a half an hour wait just to get my history. So instead I ran a couple of errands in the area and stopped back to see if wait time was less. I was told that I would now be treated as a walk-in and wait time would be even longer. Why even have appointment scheduling? I asked why this happened and was told they just had a lot of appointments ### 1/5 — scheduling *2026-08-19, version 2.25.0* The scheduling is so hard it tries to keep you on dates that you can’t be there and it won’t let you change. It makes it difficult almost not worth your time to try to help because it irritates me. ### 1/5 — They lied to you *2026-08-19, version 2.25.0* He always tell you you’re gonna get a gift certificate, but it never comes. I’m done giving him to them. They make a profit up your blood. It’s not nonprofit. Might as well make some money and give to somebody who is going to pay. ### 1/5 — Confusing *2026-08-17, version 2.25.0* I already have my next donation scheduled and I keep getting prompted to schedule!! Also I clicked to claim my $10 gift and never got it. ### 1/5 — Would not do the blood donation on me *2026-07-28, version 2.25.0* It took me 3 buses to get out to Murray on July 25th and they would not do the blood donation on me cause my bp was at 101 which is normal if it was low it would’ve been under 90. Now I have to go to arup who actually does my lab work when I have to get lab work done for blood donation ### 1/5 — Misleading advertising *2026-07-24, version 2.25.0* I never and i mean never get the tokens u give out to others such as fandangio tix ### 1/5 — Scheduling in general *2026-07-17, version 2.25.0* I found a difficult in the scheduling module. I am also not getting the money for doing donations ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So Efficient *2026-08-24, version 2.25.0* As a regular platelet donor I frequently have to modify appointment dates & times as my schedule changes. I used to have to do that all over the phone. This app makes it easy, plus it helps me optimize the frequency of my donations. It’s a cinch to navigate, and it’s very helpful to be able to track & monitor health data and donation history. Well-thought-out! ### 5/5 — So easy to schedule *2026-08-23, version 2.25.0* I like to donate blood as often as I can in a healthy way. As a nurse I have seen donated blood save so many lives. Who doesn’t want to save a life by showing up every couple of months! ❤️ The app makes it easy to stay on track. ### 5/5 — Easy App! *2026-08-23, version 2.25.0* This app makes it super easy to track donations. Clean and intuitive to use. Thanks! ### 5/5 — mswa966 *2026-08-21, version 2.25.0* I love the blood journey feature! It’s fun to watch as the map populates with new destinations. ### 5/5 — Loyal Platelet Donator *2026-08-21, version 2.25.0* Following my Blood Journey and being informed of the hospitals that my Platelets end up in, reinforced that I am truly Giving The Gift of Life This is my way of giving back, because I can🩸 ### 5/5 — Donation process *2026-08-21, version 2.25.0* You guys are all incredible! Everyone is always helpful and very nice! ### 5/5 — Works great *2026-08-20, version 2.25.0* I’ve been donating blood for 25 years and this app came out about 10 years ago. It was terrible. They’ve made a lot of great improvements and it’s very easy to book appointments and see your donations. Also, it’s much easier to claim your gifts than before. ### 5/5 — Makes donating easier *2026-08-19, version 2.25.0* As if donating blood is not already easy enough, this app is perfect to schedule an appointment in your area, go through your pre-donation questionnaire the day of donation and have your donor ID in you. Been using it since 4 years without any issues! ### 5/5 — Helpful app *2026-08-19, version 2.25.0* This app makes donating blood so much easier for busy people (like me) that need to have flexibility to strategize for times and places to donate in order to make this work. I wish more people knew about this. I love that it shows me where blood goes to as well, nice thing to add. The staff is always sooo helpful and there have not been any glitchy things with the app which is also very helpful. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-08-19, version 2.25.0* When it comes to a scheduling application, this is the gold standard! Could someone please tell the park services how it’s done? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
