### 4/5 — A great tool for volunteers

*2026-06-11, version 2.7*

Overall a great tool for volunteers. I wish the paid custom wrapper feature included the ability to specify a custom accent color for the app, and that the profile page included all fields from an application, but other than that this is great.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t say what I volunteered for

*2024-06-08, version 2.0*

I appreciate the fix of the overlapping text. But know it doesn’t tell me what it was I signed up for. Please correct.

### 4/5 — Some good, some not so

*2019-04-18, version 1.6*

Just downloaded the app and we are in the test phase to see if it will work for our group’s needs. The app is great, but it would be better if people could also sign up for events. Seems that someone could just put their events in their calendar and skip the app.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2017-08-09, version 1.1*

I sincerely couldn't do half my job without VolunteerLocal. It has every feature I need, plus some, and is super easy to use and understand for both me and my end users. Highly recommend!

### 2/5 — Not very useful

*2016-04-10, version 1.1*

While it's nice to have an option for volunteers to sign in, it would be more useful if there was an app for organizers for phone use instead of needing to go to the website to manage volunteers.
