### 3/5 — Disappointing

*2026-08-31, version 12.19.1*

Well, I just updated the app as I was prompted too, and now I can’t send thank you to my donors. This has been an on and off issue since I started using the platform and it’s incredibly frustrating.

### 5/5 — Great platform!!

*2026-08-30, version 12.19.1*

Awesome app to create awareness and to rely on the benevolence of others to achieve your goal!

### 5/5 — Helping me with cancer treatments

*2026-08-29, version 12.19.0*

GoFundMe has been an invaluable tool to raise money amongst all my friends on social media and appeal to them to donate some money to help me pay to offset some of the expenses for my cancer treatment. Within two or three months I raised about $6500. 

It does however require giving something in return. You have to write updates you have to post you have to talk to people Continually find ways to engage your audience. It doesn’t just happen by itself.

### 5/5 — Health centre for women

*2026-08-29, version 12.19.0*

Helping to raise funds can be challenging but GoFundMe is making it easier.

### 5/5 — Fantastic platform to help those in need

*2026-08-29, version 12.19.0*

Thank you for all you do

### 1/5 — Xiosmel manrresa Perez

*2026-08-27, version 12.19.0*

This app looks really nice and helpful for people like me who have been struggling for months and this app is helping me to get back on my feet

### 1/5 — Fire Departments “Just Don’t”

*2026-08-24, version 12.18.0*

As a first responder department dealing with fire damage to our own station, I strongly recommend looking for an alternative fundraising platform instead of GoFundMe. Getting approval for our campaign has been extremely problematic and frustrating. We simply wanted to raise funds to help recover from the damage, and the obstacles we’ve faced have been very disappointing.

### 4/5 — Higher fees than expected

*2026-08-22, version 12.18.0*

5+%is too much in my opinion.

### 1/5 — Going against their own policies

*2026-08-22, version 12.18.0*

It’s oddly easy to financially support violent crimes on this platform.

### 3/5 — Glitching

*2026-08-22, version 12.18.0*

I’m trying to send thank you notes to my donors! It wont let me. It keeps saying error
