### 2/5 — Poorly optimized app that doesn’t properly function.

*2025-10-20, version v4.4.1*

Currently unable to change donation center location, semi often I have been logged out of the app for no reason, pages will fail to load for no reason without a restart.

### 2/5 — App Issue

*2025-10-16, version v4.4.1*

The app itself is impressive and easy to navigate. I like how the points can be accumulated however I feel that if we have managed to achieve multiple successful donations going through the long plasmaferesis process we should be able to redeem our points at Anytime. Being forced to wait a full 3 months to use them in between redemption is so diabolical

### 3/5 — The app

*2025-09-12, version v4.4.1*

What’s going on with the app it’s always something I was just using it now it’s just buffering

### 5/5 — Otaplasma donation

*2025-07-15*

Octopharma is a great place to come donate you plasma. I’ve been coming for 3 months straight.  Every single staff member provide every individual with proper care. The procedure last about an hour but that an hour well worth spending proving plasma for medicine for people that need it.  The location I go to is located at North Lake.  Every member has my gratitude for their excellent service and helping save lives with the plasma they acquire for the company to make med for people that require it. They keep me wanting to donate plasma. Thank you for all you do

### 1/5 — Not functional

*2025-06-27, version v4.4.1*

New donors can’t sign up, I agree with another person that the upgrade broke the app!

### 3/5 — No transactions information

*2025-06-18, version v4.4.1*

Would be higher but can’t see transactions anymore and it’s been like this for 3-4 months

### 1/5 — Can’t Sign In ?????

*2025-06-17, version v4.4.1*

Why on earth would you make “reset password” option only available through accessing email through third party (opens a window to Gmail then tries to log in that way but it’s stuck infinitely.) 

I swear to God they had “reset password” technology working very easily and reliably by 2005 so why is this app so broken? Why were the developers so unable to integrate third party login through Gmail. Infinitely loading and as a donor this is pissing me off. This app is a waste of money. Octapharma would be better off having chatgpt code the app.

### 2/5 — Impossible to reset password

*2025-06-17, version v4.4.1*

I have never seen an app or website where it is this difficult to reset a password. Usually the most simple thing to do and can’t believe no support.

### 1/5 — Problem

*2025-06-17, version v4.4.1*

App want let me sign in it’s been 3 weeks now

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-06-16, version v4.4.1*

It’s not working with google sign in, it keeps redirecting me to it

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Garbage app, scummy group

*2025-11-04, version v4.4.1*

App does not work; predatory service

### 1/5 — SCAM!!!!

*2025-10-16, version v4.4.1*

They showed me $75 in one spot, $65 in another, then paid $60. Jonathan the manager at Riverside CA does nothing to alleviate the TWO-THREE HOUR WAITS that got me fired from my job for being late! All he does is flirt with the girls on staff while donors SUFFER! Fix this Octascammer!!!

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2025-09-12, version v4.4.1*

This app is completely useless

### 1/5 — Broken almost all the time

*2025-09-12, version v4.4.1*

Good luck!  This is a terrible app that rarely ever works. Trust the reviewers on this one.  Broken log in, broken Home Screen, broken features, it’s just a GUI with no functions behind it.

### 1/5 — The app is fine. The centers are terrible.

*2025-08-14*

Donation centers are filled with people waiting 3-4 hours to get paid a pittance for plasma worth thousands. 24-30 beds, only to have 6-12 being used and 1-2 phlebotomists at any given moment. Other centers are closing and octapharma gets busier with no improvement in the speed with which people can donate and go home. This isn’t a one off, it’s every day. These people only care about the bottom line and they know we’ll wait for our little stipend at the end of the day no matter how long we have to wait.

### 1/5 — They do not care about their donors

*2025-08-10, version v4.4.1*

It’s just a cash grab. Their”house doctor” tells you to get an ok from your doctor that it’s safe to donate. Then when he gets the paperwork saying it’s safe to donate he permanently defers you. Waste of time effort and money. Don’t go to octapharma. They are terrible.

### 1/5 — Poor design

*2025-07-31, version v4.4.1*

Won’t let you register until you have visited a center.

### 1/5 — App  is on stuck mode. You need a better Tech guy. Such an inconvenience to a lot of people.

*2025-07-27, version v4.4.1*

Plus the money we receive is poor compared to what your company makes per bottle of plasma🤨

### 1/5 — Review on the app

*2025-07-25, version v4.4.1*

App is terrible it freezes repeatedly. It doesn’t load properly. I don’t recommend

### 1/5 — Bug problem
