Just a blank white screen ### 1/5 — Don't accept any password *2021-09-15, version 3.1.0* They ask you to write a password that contains numbers and letter and I did exactly the way they asked me to but kept sending me password isn't good. ### 1/5 — Registration is Broken *2021-07-29, version 3.1.0* Don’t bother, you can’t get passed registration. It won’t accept any passwords, even if they’re within restrictions. Look elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Tax dollars hard at work *2021-06-22, version 3.1.0* This app is not very good. Why use this when the website works reliably? ### 1/5 — I can’t even use it *2021-03-19, version 3.1.0* It will not allow me to login it just stays on the login screen after putting in my credentia ### 1/5 — Seems sus to me *2021-03-14, version 3.1.0* I downloaded it and it kept asking me to approve Face ID I don’t trust that. ### 1/5 — Worse than online *2021-01-08, version 3.1.0* I just downloaded this app 01-08; I try to login and it just sits there! I go back to the main screen and try to do a quick search, all of a sudden the app kicks back to the main screen and then closes out completely. Not happy at all!! ### 1/5 — Very buggy on IOS *2020-08-11, version 3.0.0* Gets confused with FaceID, can’t logon half the time. Trash. ### 1/5 — B.dea *2020-07-26, version 3.0.0* awful ### 1/5 — Cannot login *2020-07-02, version 3.0.0* I have no idea how this app is since I can’t actually login. I put in my username and password, hit “log in” and nothing happens. It just sits there regardless of how many times I hit it. It doesn’t tell me I did anything wrong or start loading, it just stays exactly the same. Make the app pretty useless. ### 1/5 — Useless for blind users *2020-06-20, version 3.0.0* Though I deleted the Grants.gov app off my iPhone 8 and then reinstalled it, the app remains a complete failure for those of us who are blind. As best as I can tell, the entire user interface (landing page) is devoid of ANY text labels. I can only guess that this app relies upon single-finger taps & hovering to open menus, options, and links. I am unable to use any facet of this app on my iPhone 8 (latest software version) with VoiceOver turned on. ### 1/5 — Password *2020-01-17, version 3.0.0* There is a problem when inputting the password. When the password is inserted it disappears on the website and the app. I can not logon in. ### 1/5 — Piece of sh t *2019-09-18, version 2.1.0* Typical government work. Doesn’t load. ### 1/5 — Search is all over the place *2019-08-16, version 2.0.0* I’m looking for grants specific to rural broadband. This beast can’t seem to find any no matter how you construct the search argument. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Malware *2023-10-28* This could be malware to collect usernames and passwords. Issues accepting know password. Did not see any permission options when I examined apps in the setting app which is another red flag. APPLE CHECK THiS PROGRAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Password hack *2023-03-11* My email was used with a different phone number, not sure if it was connected to the application but somehow it seems the application is maintained by someone different than the government site. I could be wrong but some security issues may be apparent ### 1/5 — Tyranny of Low Expectations *2023-01-20, version 3.1.0* Not the best work of the team. Regroup, rework, rejoice - eventually. Shut this down and let us all know when you’re done. ### 1/5 — WHAT’S THE PURPOSE! *2022-11-15, version 3.1.0* I agree, I have tried to apply for a grant through this app and it’s so difficult and frustrating that eventually I gave up. What is the purpose of this if you can’t access a grant and there is no help to do it correctly? ### 1/5 — This app is so unstable *2022-09-04, version 3.1.0* Doesn’t work properly, it isn’t very user friendly to apply for grants ### 1/5 — Can’t Login, No Support *2022-05-23, version 3.1.0* Been trying to login for weeks. Resetting password does nothing. There is no support for this app. ### 1/5 — Fix it! *2022-02-10, version 3.1.0* i feel like if your gonna have an app like this and make it to where it’s easy for grant writer beginners like myself……… then you probably should make sure it works. because it could have been really really REALLY useful for me!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡🙄🙄 ### 1/5 — Unable to login *2022-02-07, version 3.1.0* I have been unable to login. I enter my (correct) username and password that I login on the desktop with and the app just sits there like I entered no login information. I contacted technical support, and they continuously give me the run around and are no support at all. Apple should revoke their dev license ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-02-02, version 3.1.0* The system doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Difficult to apply for grants …. Why ?!! *2021-12-30, version 3.1.0* It is highly difficult to apply for a grant - I’ve been inquiring for help for months now with no reply - why is this it so hard ? Can someone answer this question??? This is frustrating and confusing as a small business owner to apply for 1 GRANT .. UNBELIEVABLE ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Has come far *2020-02-18, version 3.0.0* Psyched on having an app to find when there’s a grant in alignment with my visions and projects. ### 5/5 — Great app for federal grants! *2018-05-01, version 1.0.0* The app is fast, easy, and user friendly. It looks good. Finally! ### 5/5 — Great app !! *2018-04-30, version 1.0.0* Excellent interface, very intuitive and nicely designed app that really facilitates the usually difficult process of searching for grants. ### 5/5 — Good for Federal Grants *2018-04-25, version 1.0.0* Does what it says it’ll do. If you have a Grants.gov account, it’s easy to search & save them for later. Would be nice if you could create an account through the app though. ### 2/5 — Internal Server Error Occurred *2025-02-01* I followed all directions and changed my password on the website and then manually entered the new password on the app and I still see the same error message. Very frustrating. I deleted the app and reinstalled. Same error. Can’t log in on mobile app. ### 2/5 — App crashes *2021-08-06, version 3.1.0* Crashes on login and filter toggles don’t work correctly --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
