If I could give zero, I would
I like using apps versus websites, because I find the GivePulse site very irritating to use, so when I found out that there was an app, it made me happy. Long story short: I can't even get logged into my account. I keep getting errors. I signed in every way I could. I even tried to make a new account. Just errors

App is digressing
This app has undergone some changes. It used to work great but now has been cobbled by some google api logging code the added. It also could use a preference setting page so I can add my regularly connected groups without having to search for them every time.
I use an ad blocking platform on my home network and cannot use this app at all. If I disconnect, I can use the app but at the sake of giving away loads of unnecessary data. The web page performs without issue so it is clearly this added logging add in on the app.
Please clean it up.

Want to Support, but Can’t UX is not rly there
I really want to join and find more opportunities to participate in non-profits in Austin.
But this app rly is not user friendly and not intuitive, if I can provide some feedback here’s what I’d say.
1. Ability to filter by time and date
2. Filter by most popular/joined groups
3. Create volunteer event to join so you can see events you sign up for instead of adding group
4. Create community forum for organizers can communicate with their volunteers
If these are features that are already there then it does mean that it isn’t very discoverable might need to work on the user journey there.

Unreliable
Back around 2018 this app was much more reliable. Now it freezes at various times while using the app which makes logging volunteer hours or signing up for volunteer shifts challenging.
Inaccessible hours
This app will not allow me to edit my hours.
Needs work
We switched to this system to simplify our tracking of hours. I find that this not quite formatted to mobile devices which is what we mostly use. I couldn’t use this at all on my iPad and it’s wonky on my iPhone. It has potential just fix a few things with the formatting.
Awesome app!
Was able to seek out opportunities for a company outing! Thank you!
Could use some QoL updates
Specifically would appreciate Autofill support so I don’t have to re-fill in my info every time I register for an event
Response from developer
Hi! This should exist since early on, what info are you hoping to re-fill? Perhaps there are certain fields set up by the event administrator requiring you to input this information?
Lowe ticketing and donation fees
We use this for our student org bc they have lowest fees and our school also uses it for us to find nonprofits to volunteer for
Volunteer and be an admin in one app
I’m a shift admin and event manager. I appreciate now how I can log in with my credentials once to access abilities for searching, registration and now signing folks in for my shifts and events!
Gets it done
Let’s our volunteers report hours and get push notifications of our messages
Good addition
This makes it so much easier for me to report volunteer hours and communicate with the volunteer coordinator for a nonprofit I mentor students at
Would not recommend
This platform is down at least once a day. And there is virtually no support. They basically ignore you, while your admin has no clue what to do. Also if you use an app and a desktop version, that creates two accounts and no one will tell you that. One reason for this is there is no visual manual which would have all that a new user needs to know. They just want you to sit there and browse random articles they have posted online with no visual aids at all. Will be recommending my school administrators to stop using this platform.

Response from developer
We are sorry to hear about this (and we will do better). re - Duplicate Accounts: You only need one account to log-in on the app and desktop version unless you chose different login types from one to another (e.g., facebook login and gmail login could potentially use different emails than your institutions). In addition, some schools have multiple emails and ids for staff, students, employees, alum and faculty. In these instances, the school's IT would need to remediate this or the individual would have to https://support.givepulse.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002370393-Merge-Accounts re - Online Support: Do you have access to our videos playlist or repository of training material (not publicly available)? These should have been shared with your administrators. If there are specific articles you want us to make better, let us know. We believe we can always improve. Lastly, can you inform us what institution you are with and when you reached out to our support team? This will help us dig in further and see what happened in our communication with you or others. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Easy Community Impact
Love this app. Absolutely easy to use to manage my volunteers for my non-profit event.
Recent Updates
First iteration would crash now and then but I noticed since the updates it’s been much easier to use and navigate. Great for looking up events I’ve registered for on the go as well as getting push notifications for messages that volunteer coordinators send me.
Keeps crashing
Every time I press on the app it crashes, please fix soon.
Brilliant Update
The new app is amazing! It maintains all of the functionality of the website but in all in one app.
Crashes
I just downloaded this app and every time I open it it crashes. Haven’t even used it yet so I can’t rate the actual app...
Not functional
My club cannot sign in on their mobile devices. At all. Don't know if it's a tech glitch with the new iOS or what, but this app is virtually useless to us. The website is amazing, the app is a waste of space. Don't bother with it.
Powerful App with many capabilities
Givepulse allows our organization to post volunteering events that allow for our volunteers to pick and choose which events they like to attend. It helps our organization keep track of our impact. Although the interface could be better, the functionality of this app is phenomenal. This app is much more than an hour Striker, we are able to measure our impact, manage our volunteer and donor database, accept donations, do event ticketing, and much more!
