Poorly run app- quit before I began!
Incredibly obtuse and frustrating experience. A shame, as you are surely losing the help of good people! You definitely need some troubleshooting as there are some egregious bugs in your app.
Ok but needs work
The signup process is a bit clunky. My main complaint is that there isn’t (or I can’t find) a calendar view of all of my volunteer days. I would like them on a monthly calendar.
Also, it would be nice to be able to send the time and date to the iPhone calendar app.

App is terrible
The app is terrible and so is the website. Do a search and you can’t open more than one opportunity at a time (no new tabs, etc). Then when you try to go back (either by their “go back” button or the browser’s back button) to the original list, everything is gone, and a new search needs to be configured - otherwise it says no opportunities available. There are apps and websites that have no clue how to consider the user’s experience, and then there are apps and websites that feel like they are hostile to the user. This one is hostile. This problem has been going on for at least 6 months - I have no idea how they are getting people to use it. Maybe this was sabotage by an underpaid developer or something, but the experience is horrible and virtually unusable.

Admin?
I like Point and the idea of Point, but as a Point admin I am frustrated that I can’t add or manager volunteers / events in the app. I also can’t do it on my phone in my browser either. I have to get my computer out. This just a minor inconvenience.
Good (+ ideas for improvement)
I just started using this app and find the interface to be pretty good! The following things would make it much better (IMO), in order of importance to me:
1. Ability to see what personal info is public vs private, or “view page as” function. I’m asked for my address - who can see this???
2. Calendar integration to add events I’ve volunteered for.
3. Ability to choose more than one “cause” theme.
4. Ability to choose search radius and set it as permanently, so I don’t have to redo this every time I look at opportunities.
5. Ability to block/omit events/organization I’m not interested in. This will obviously be more important as more events/users are added.
Overall it’s functioned well for me so far and I’m grateful for the opportunity to use it.
