### 1/5 — Web site

*2025-04-15*

This is the third year using the website. I’m still as confused about it as I was last year.  I tried sending out a link from the team page to my team but they weren’t able to open the link. The site is very frustrating. Do I have to do everything on my laptop??

### 1/5 — App needs help

*2025-04-12*

This isn’t working, I tried to download the app and it says open, once in there I can’t do anything. Would like to recruit team members and have a link to share. It’s just not working and my husband who is a survivor is just as frustrated and ready to give up.

### 1/5 — App keeps freezing

*2025-04-05*

It doesn’t sync and freezes all the time.

### 1/5 — Not connecting

*2025-03-30*

Really struggling with connecting to Facebook

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-12-20*

Great app to help you get started with your fundraising for PurpleStride.

### 2/5 — Web pages

*2024-02-24*

This is the second year using the website. I’m still as confused about it as I was last year.  I tried sending out a link from the team page to my team but they weren’t able to open the link. The site is very frustrating. Do I have to do everything on my laptop??

### 1/5 — The site is very hard to use

*2023-04-24*

It’s too difficult for team members to register for the event. People are able to donate, but they can’t register easily. You really need to make the site easier to navigate.

### 1/5 — Difficult

*2023-04-01*

This app is confusing and difficult to use.

### 2/5 — Not user friendly

*2023-02-05*

The app is not user friendly. 
It doesn’t refresh and sometimes when you enter it doesn’t show all the teammates that were previously listed.  
I also wish I could click on teammates names and see who all donated under there name.  The website isn’t very user friendly either.

### 3/5 — Needs to maximize potential

*2022-04-29*

This could be such a useful tool. I’m walking in 2022, but have experienced the following:
- won’t connect to Facebook to create a fundraiser 
- wouldn’t save the personal story I wrote
- needs social media icons and assistance 

Please improve this for 2023.
