Needs improvements

I am using this App and website while I’m going through brain surgery. The website is great, but the app has room for improvement. 1) you can’t see the full calendar. 2) you can’t choose what notifications you get and what notifications you don’t get (like I want to only be notified of pending requests not when people volunteer for something. But that’s not an option). 3) There’s not a way on the app or the website to make a reoccurring task (not just duplicating it but also a way to say “every Monday 7-11am indefinitely). 4) Also, it would be nice on the website and App Calendar if there are multiple tasks in a day but only some tasks have a volunteer and some don’t, for it to be striped grey and pink instead of remaining pink.

Horrible App in Time of Need

Provides minimal info, slow loading and then it just quit working altogether when my best friend is about to pass and needed most. Deleted & reinstalling it didn’t help. Great idea but poor execution

Great when it works

Our friend’s family is using this as they go through cancer with a four-year-old while having three other children at home aged 11 and two more four-year-olds. I Go into the app and I can’t get anything to show up. It just is a blank screen. The website does weird things too. I wish it wasn’t so glitchy as I NEED to sign up for shifts next week but just cannot get the app to let me do it.

Doesn’t work. At all.

It won’t even start. I attempted to log in, and I just see a spinning death wheel that never ends next to my family team name. Such a bummer.
