### 5/5 — great app!!

*2026-08-07*

super helpful in organizing my school events and volunteering, it could update a little faster though because when I’m looking at an event and try to sign up it will say the event isn’t available anymore because someone already signed up all the while it said that the event was still open. overall, a great app!

### 1/5 — Hard to use

*2026-05-21, version 4.3.01*

Not intuitive. Mobile product clunky. Lots of kinks to iron out.

### 5/5 — Easy; works great

*2026-05-16*

All the stuff you need & nothing else. So simple to track hours. Streamlined; no muss no fuss.

### 3/5 — Good enough… I guess

*2026-05-13*

Ok…ish this app is rather clunky and does not work reliably. I keep getting errors that prevent me from making new activity’s. A dark mode and a ui update would be nice

### 5/5 — Easy to use!

*2026-05-08*

The App is intuitive.  It also maintains an accessible “time log” of education hours, volunteer hours, or what ever time metric that needs to monitored.

### 3/5 — Please update to use face/touch ID

*2026-02-05*

We use this app to track volunteer hours. It works, once you log in…just that logging in requires a username/password combo. Given the proliferation of platforms and programs that require this type of authentication, it becomes quite cumbersome, even with a password manager. Please update the app to use biometrics. Thank you.

### 5/5 — User friendly

*2026-01-15*

I absolutely love how user friendly this app is. It also makes me feel I’m in control of my hours.

### 1/5 — Not for small charities

*2026-01-06, version 4.2.82*

Just like I said, not for small charities.

### 1/5 — Be ready to log in

*2025-12-01, version 4.2.74*

This app makes me log in everytime I click on it. I hate it!

### 4/5 — Volunteer hrs vs. parent training sessions

*2025-11-06*

It would be great that this app could differentiate between volunteer hours the parents did vs. the number of parent trainings they did to avoid any type of confusion.
