App functionality

I downloaded this app to find volunteering opportunities in my area. The site has been very helpful for me and I was excited to be able to search more conveniently on my phone. However, the app is lacking in some basic functionality features making app is overall useless to me. For some reason, there is no way to filter by location, so I see thousands of results with no way to narrow them down. I live in a very populous city. For a company whose ethos is community service it is quite difficult to service my community without a filter to locate it. As others have noted, there is no “back” button, so one has to go through the tedious process of redoing every search after you tap on a job listing. I will probably just use the site from now on.

Used to be good

This so used to work great but now I’m prompted to sign in via Google, FB & Apple every 5 seconds. Can’t even use the app anymore

Time to delete

Great listings. Terrible app

This app glitches so badly it’s practically unusable. I have to log in after I open each listing to read. I have to redo my search settings each time I log in.

The listings are great, but using this app is painful.

Can’t log in

I log in through google, and then App keeps telling me to fill out information below first. there’s no place to enter info, i hit save, and then am take to sign in screen where it says sign in first.

Google Login crash

Got an email about an awesome job so I went to check it out on mobile Safari. Realized I maxed out my main tab group so thought I’d download the app so I don’t have to worry about it right now. I log in with Google as that’s how I signed up, it successfully authenticates, takes me to the app home screen (logged in), then immediately force logs me out and says I need to be logged in to view the page I was on. Tried 3 more times, the removed the app from my phone. I have a 12 Pro Max running current iOS software. I MIGHT consider redownloading if the basic bugs were fixed bc the app is more accessible for someone like me with adhd and 500 open tabs on safari, but also might just suck it up and stick with the site so I don’t have to deal with the unnecessary additions that seem superfluous for an app most people know for the job board exclusively. Seems like the devs could consider splitting this into different apps for different target user personas/user journeys, but that is based on anecdotal data seeing as I’ve not been able to use the app myself.
