### 1/5 — ‘New’ app is terrible

*2026-04-20, version 1.10.13*

The requirement of a longer password and logging you out after 90 days is frustrating. The app makes me not want to be proactive in donating blood.

### 1/5 — Locked out of account

*2025-12-10, version 1.10.13*

Failed my password 3 times, tried resetting it but it still just says I’ve used all my attempts and need to reset my password (which I have now done 3 times). Waste of time trying to book an appointment.

### 1/5 — Card to Wallet & Login

*2025-10-14, version 1.10.11*

Cannot add my blood card to my wallet on my iPhone. Plus please enable Face ID for logging in, it’s so clunky signing in every time with a long password phrase.

### 4/5 — Works but could be better

*2025-02-10, version 1.10.9*

It would be great if:
- the app remembered where to last donated so that of this didn’t change you don’t need to find the location again.
-  the app allowed you to pre-declare your travel. I donate regularly, but when I travel overseas the machine sometimes needs to be reconfigured after I arrive to fractionate because they won’t use my plasma as they had assumed they would.
- if the app was faster in general. I don’t know why the map is so slow?

### 2/5 — Worse after updates

*2025-01-19, version 1.10.9*

This app is so much worse than it used to be. It is way slower with the spinning wheel of doom whenever you change anything. Also, why can’t I save certain preferences such as location and donation type? It is frustrating to enter these every time even though they never change. Again, these weren’t issues in earlier iterations of the app.

### 1/5 — New app is terrible

*2024-12-09, version 1.10.9*

New app is a disaster. Unable to book an appointment if one for the future has been booked. Makes it very hard to book for closer to the time. 
Locations are a nightmare and it’s so lagging. I know the update was meant to make it better - but it’s just worse!

### 3/5 — Plasma

*2024-12-03, version 1.10.9*

Since the last update it no longer shows plasma donation locations or the plasma donation countdown on the home screen.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t show blood type

*2024-11-18, version 1.10.9*

I’m not sure if this is a bug or an issue on my end, but the blood type details doesn’t show up for me. For context a few months ago I donated blood and shortly after I got sent an email saying that I’ll be able to find out my blood type via this app. Long story short even after logging into the email I used when donating blood there is no data that displays my donation history, even though I can successfully log in using my email. I’ve also tried re-downloading the app and re-logging in, but still no luck. After asking some friends who also donated blood it seems like they didn’t encounter this issue , meaning most users should still be able to acces their data

### 2/5 — Good but could be better

*2024-11-05, version 1.10.9*

Good app, however it’s always laggy when trying to book appointment, choosing location takes a while to load, and it crashes a lot of time. Speed it up, fix the bugs, it’ll be better and you’ll get more blood donor. Sometimes I gave up when booking an appointment. Love how it updates you the bloood helped someone, makes me feel like my blood actually went to good use. Thanks team.

### 1/5 — Great organization but completely unusable app

*2024-08-22, version 1.10.8*

Disappointed
