### 2/5 — Can’t create an account

*2025-07-18*

Got the app. Spent the next 30 minutes trying to register using a name and email - absurdly frustrating

### 3/5 — Still advertisements

*2024-12-14*

I’m not sure why - I paid for this to avoid seeing advertisements, but I’m now stills seeing them - please fix this

### 2/5 — Clunky

*2023-01-05*

Leaves a lot to be desired. Why do I have to sign-in again every single day when I open this? Running a nightly nonprofit operation, where I have to look at this all the time. It gets the job done but could be a lot better.

### 3/5 — It works with bugs

*2022-06-06*

This could be a wonderful volunteer apps. But there is bugs. 

It doesn't keep you log-in, even after a few minutes away. I use Facebook as my sign-in, I end up approving Facebook every time.  

Would be nice if can quickly switch different volunteer groups; to confirm dates. 

I thought about giving this 2-star, but it still does the job with these bugs.

### 2/5 — Could use an update. Its been 2 years...

*2021-01-15, version 3.0.5*

The web interface is great folks. This could really use a tune up.

I imagine more and more folks are using your software (imho it beats the mainstream competitors) but an app companion for when users are away from a computer would extremely helpful.

### 2/5 — East Carolina University is trying to use this website

*2020-08-11, version 3.0.5*

I wish this app will allow me to find where my teachers are posting their sign-up sheets. I believe this app only lets me see what I have already signed up for. I cannot search for other things to sign up.

### 1/5 — Difficult and no help

*2020-07-30, version 3.0.5*

It is very confusing to manage this app. In addition I easily got hacked and it started to create fake participants with variations of my name. It then signed me up numerous times taking away spots for others. When I figured out how to delete my names I would come back a minute later and there would be more of my names. Plus safari kept telling me to close this page because it was taking up to much memory.

### 1/5 — Waste of $2

*2019-11-29, version 3.0.5*

Super bad.  No different from mobile version and worse than desktop.  Not helpful at all.

### 1/5 — Just an app for the mobile site

*2019-11-10, version 3.0.5*

You have LITERALLY exactly the same functions if you save the mobile site to your home screen. Complete waste of money!!

### 1/5 — Sign up.com app review

*2019-11-06*

Horrible app same as the website and I PAID for it 🤦🏼‍♀️. Come on if your gonna take my money at least make it glitch free 🙃

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not worth the price

*2026-02-04*

This is simply app version of the mobile site. Just log in through the browser and save your money.

### 1/5 — Not worth the $2

*2026-01-20*

Downloaded this on my phone and iPad. It doesn’t open on the iPad at all. Just a white screen. It’s not that great on my phone either, so I have to go back to my laptop. Totally defeats the purpose of paying for an app to make things easy on the go.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2024-03-07*

This all literally just takes you to the website. What a waste of money! Don’t bother!

### 1/5 — Don’t recommend

*2024-02-16*

I wasted 2 bucks in this. It’s literally the website but worse. Most of the buttons on this app take you tot the website defeating the purpose of the app. So annoying. Unless you are MAKING an event, this app is definitely not worth it. Devs, please make this better and ACTUALLY worth a volunteer’s money.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2023-11-15*

You have to sign in every time. It’s easier to go to the free desktop site.

### 1/5 — DON’T PAY FOR APP

*2022-06-13*

Don’t pay to download this app. It’s just a shortcut to the website. Just create a link on your homepage for FREE. Duh.

### 1/5 — poor design and buggy

*2022-06-11*

fails to display all data uploaded to website by host. waste of money.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2021-11-18*

I organized several events for our school. I was so hopeful this app would save me time by being able to create events on my phone or tablet instead if my computer. But it is constantly saving the information I enter incorrectly. If I create several “spots” and go back to edit one the app automatically overwrites the information I have entered from one spot over another. I can’t trust anything to end up correct.
I’m not sure if it just hasn’t been updated for the device I am using or what.

### 1/5 — Wish I’d read the reviews - I want my money back

*2020-12-17*

Seriously what a waste. I was hoping it would help me with signups I’d arranged Over the School holidays . Nope useless waste of time.

### 1/5 — GARRRRRRRBAGE

*2020-09-21, version 3.0.5*

I downloaded this app so I could get notifications from my school to sign up for events but this app doesn’t do that. At all. $1.99 for what? Nothing. You can see when events are posted and what you’ve signed up for, BUT WITHOUT NOTIFICATIONS FROM THE APP YOU WONT BE ABLE TO SIGN UP. It’s absolutely pointless. Garbage. Requested refund but I’m positive that won’t happen.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-04-04*

Idk why this doesn’t have 5 stars. It’s super simple are literally saved my soul for baseball volunteer sign ups for snacks, etc. totally worth the 1.99. I can’t wait to tell every coaches wife I know about it

### 5/5 — Major Time Save

*2023-07-28*

There is a major time save over the Safari bookmark method. I noticed if you’re using a Gmail or account that is third-party you would have to set a password for it on the website. Make sure that you save your password to iCloud Keychain. Once you click on sign in with the text box field, it auto completes and saves you about 10 seconds (5 to 10 seconds) as opposed to normal method. Worth it for me for $5. The website otherwise, I find to be slow. This one has less lag.

### 5/5 — Easiest way to herd cats

*2023-07-20*

Got all my neighbors signed up in a few days for our huge HOA picnic. It was really easy to list what help and food we needed and then to send a link in our listserve news. The event was a success and everyone pitched in. There were even designated people on clean up crew that actually stayed. I’ll for sure use signup next year.

### 5/5 — This teacher is happy!

*2021-08-14, version 4.0.2*

I am a veteran teacher who has used signup.com for years at school. We have used it to organize Senior Day donations and Parent Conferences for the entire school. The app
 is clean and easy to follow when setting up activities. The step by step process is appreciated! So worth it not to have to log in through my browser.

### 5/5 — Love the new app!

*2021-07-20*

The layout makes it easy to find the schedules I manage and to see my own volunteer shifts. I highly recommend this app if you're the one responsible for managing volunteers.

### 5/5 — So easy and convenient to use!

*2021-07-16*

I can’t say enough good things about the Signup app. I first heard about it from an event at my daughter’s school. I liked how it had a clean, modern look and I was seriously amazed at how easy it was to use! I didn’t even need a tutorial, it was pretty easy to figure out. I have used it to create and organize several church events and now recommend this app to all my other mum friends!

### 5/5 — Oneg at Temple a breeze

*2021-07-15*

Many of us are older and we find SignUp easy to organize and sign up to bring a variety of cookies, cakes, fruit and cheese platters to our weekly post service gathering at our synagogue!

### 5/5 — Potluck

*2021-07-15*

Potluck is something that I enjoy . There are so many food to choose from and I love it .

### 5/5 — Essential to organizing school events.

*2021-07-15*

Just used this app to organize our neighborhood pool party. It couldn’t have been easier, and everyone has a great time.

### 5/5 — New App - Color Me Happy!

*2021-07-06*

I organized our city’s student art show with Signup and it was so easy. Their new app made it extra easy to see my volunteer list on exhibit day and to send messages to select people with last minute requests. I like the look - super clear for my (older) eyes. My volunteers think I’m a genius for using SignUp as we are so very organized.
