### 1/5 — App is digressing

*2026-05-12, version 3.16*

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.

### 1/5 — Inaccessible hours

*2024-12-22, version 3.10.3*

This app will not allow me to edit my hours.

### 1/5 — Would not recommend

*2019-02-04, version 2.1.3*

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.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2018-09-18, version 2.0.0*

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...

### 1/5 — Not functional

*2015-10-15, version 1.5.1*

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.

### 2/5 — Want to Support, but Can’t UX is not rly there

*2025-08-04, version 3.12*

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.

### 2/5 — Unreliable

*2025-05-29, version 3.12*

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.

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing

*2018-11-16, version 2.0.0*

Every time I press on the app it crashes, please fix soon.

### 3/5 — Needs work

*2021-06-09*

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.

### 3/5 — Could use some QoL updates

*2019-06-03, version 2.7.1*

Specifically would appreciate Autofill support so I don’t have to re-fill in my info every time I register for an event

## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2020-02-02, version 2.8.5*

Was able to seek out opportunities for a company outing! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Volunteer and be an admin in one app

*2019-02-15, version 2.5*

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!

### 5/5 — Good addition

*2019-02-11, version 2.1.3*

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

### 5/5 — Easy Community Impact

*2019-01-25, version 2.1.2*

Love this app. Absolutely easy to use to manage my volunteers for my non-profit event.

### 5/5 — Recent Updates

*2019-01-25, version 2.1.2*

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.

### 5/5 — Brilliant Update

*2018-10-09, version 2.0.0*

The new app is amazing! It maintains all of the functionality of the website but in all in one app.

### 5/5 — Powerful App with many capabilities

*2015-07-26, version 1.5.1*

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!

### 4/5 — Lowe ticketing and donation fees

*2019-02-17, version 2.5*

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

### 4/5 — Gets it done

*2019-02-11, version 2.1.3*

Let’s our volunteers report hours and get push notifications of our messages
