User reviews

I can’t thank you enough

When my mother passed away suddenly this weekend the Red Cross was able to get a message to my son in the Navy. He was able to call me later that day and I can never express how much gratitude I have for this. Thank you!

No Warrant Officer 3-5 Listed

Why does this only go up to CW2? That’s pretty sad to leave ranks out. It makes this app useless for a lot of people.

No support for recruits

As a parent of a new Marine recruit, we are told too use Red Cross to get in touch in case of emergencies. I'm lucky that I've not needed to use the Red cross in this manner but the app doesn't even give the option of adding our recruits details. Perhaps in an update?

Failure

Ultimately failed in their duty to properly relay message regarding high risk delivery that experienced multiple complications to commanding officer.

More devices!

It also needs to be supported by more than just an iPhone. I’ve never been able to get it to download on an android.
