### 3/5 — User Experience has a lot of room for improvement

*2023-01-19*

- The feature to download to your calendar doesn’t work for iOS. 
- There is no way to see all of the things you have signed up for in a single place. 
- There doesn’t seem to be any way to contact the organization via the app or the web site.  I’d be happy to leave more detailed feedback if that were the case. 

Feel free to contact me for more information

### 3/5 — It should not be this hard to reset a password

*2022-07-12*

I forgot my password and I need to reset it. What’s the point in sending my a link to reset it if the link doesn’t actually got to a reset page? Also, you can’t reset it if you don’t know your current password which is frustrating. If I can verify that it’s my account then I should be allowed to change my password.

### 3/5 — I like it but...

*2020-11-06, version 2.5.0*

The app has been great to create and track activities but it has one big flaw that is very aggravating. There must be some timer on the login because just about every time I go to the app I have to login all over again. The app exists on my phone which has facial recognition so it’s already fairly secure. My banking app has facial recognition. My Apple wallet has sensitive information and it just makes use of the phone security. Various other apps have figured out how to be secure. But this app when I need to see some details requires me to type username and password over and over. It always seems to be at an inconvenient time when it’s difficult to do one handed or not timely like at a stop light when I’m looking for information quickly. 

This app would be darn good if this could be fixed. Heck let me decide and I’ll keep that thing persistently logged in. Or if someone else doesn’t want that then disable the persistent logged in state...  but that would raise this app 2 more stars!  Facial recognition is already there on iPhone. This having to login each time is not fun. Heck I’d pay for an upgrade version if that were added. 

Ok I’ve said my peace. Really it’s a great app but to the owner, please fix this login issue.

### 1/5 — Can’t access without an organization invite

*2019-07-08, version 2.4.1*

Paid for this app thinking I could find volunteer opportunities as an individual but can’t access without an invitation code from an organization, which I don’t have. Really disappointed. Who do I contact for a refund after I remove the app?

### 1/5 — Was working fine until......

*2018-10-18*

Once the update on October 10th happened, when I click on the VOMO app all I see is a grey screen with the vomo logo on it. Great timing. Also instructions aren’t clear on how to submit service hours into the app for my school to verify it.

**Developer response:** Hi Rokar12,

Thank you for your feedback. We have an updated app in to Apple for review right now. Very soon you will get an alert to update you app, and things will be back to normal on VOMO!

As far as updating hours for your volunteer resume, you must submit outside hours to your VOMO administrator. This person can add approved hours to your resume so that you can keep building use resume!

Please contact support@vomo.org if we can assist further.

Thanks,
VOMO

### 1/5 — Great Concept, If I Could Use It

*2018-10-11*

There is no way to enter this app as a new user. When you first open the app, all that you see is the app’s logo and a button to “log in.” There is no sign up button. You must have already created an account to use the app.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thanks for your feedback. As you noticed, VOMO requires an invitation from one of our partner organizations to create a Volunteer account. We do this to ensure that your experience is great as you connect with those organizations on VOMO and get signed up to serve.

Do you happen to be connected to an organization that is using VOMO to mobilize volunteers? If so, we can make sure you get the invitation that you need to access all of the projects and videos on the VOMO platform.

Please email support@vomo.org if you have further questions. 

Thank you!

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2018-09-22*

The app needs to be updated. I will get notifications and then open the app and the notifications don’t load.

**Developer response:** Hi BaylorGuy0818,

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are always improving our platform to be able to make sure that volunteers are connected with valuable notifications about the projects they join. I’m sorry that you experienced a time when your notifications were not working correctly.

We have made an update to this iOS app to address this issue, and it will be released in the App Store ASAP for you to update on your device.

Thanks for choosing VOMO. We hope you enjoy your experience finding and joining projects to make a difference for good.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2018-08-09*

Cannot create an account. The next button disappears after entering my info but nothing changes. There are no error messages indicating something is wrong. It’s a broken app with no purpose.

**Developer response:** Joat2b,

Thank you for the helpful feedback. Appreciate your interest in being a part of a movement of volunteers making a difference. We're sorry you're experiencing issues creating an account through the app. We’ve just launched a new version of the website and we're experiencing some temporary difficulties at the moment while we transition to a new version of the app. Those should be published this weekend or early next week, depending on how quickly Apple can process them. 

I don’t want you to be inconvenienced. Please give me a call and I'll gladly help you create an account through our VOMO Concierge Service while the app issue gets resolved. You can reach us at 214-973-5056. Ask for David and I’ll be happy to personally help you.

### 5/5 — Volunteering in the 21st century

*2017-11-28*

This app is bringing the volunteer movement up to speed with modern technology. For too long I’ve had to use antiquated methods to find and sign up to serve in my community. If we want more people to give their free time to volunteer it should be EASY and VOMO has done just that. All I had to do was download the app, create my volunteer profile, and (using geolocation) search for volunteer opportunities nearby. I love it!

### 5/5 — 5 Stars

*2017-11-27*

Super user friendly app for volunteering locally

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2026-05-05*

Even the basic thing is not user friendly… when I tried to join multiple dates, I cannot do it.  I have to do it one by one.  It took forever to load the calendar.

### 1/5 — Unable to reset password !!

*2026-02-28, version 4.0.5*

I am not able to reset my password and all I want to do is volunteer 😔

### 1/5 — Terrible app I can’t even sign in

*2026-01-06*

The place where I volunteer at uses this app for you to sign up to volunteer. And I wish they didn’t. Because this app I can’t even login and then every single time I opened the app and asked me to login. The Google authentication just takes me to VOMO’s website. Can you guys please fix this?

### 1/5 — It’s so bad

*2025-12-14*

It’s crazy that it’s been 2 years and they still haven’t fixed their interface. It’s very difficult to do anything on this app: find your organization, find opportunities, find points of contact; and it’s impossible to do other things, like track what you signed up for, switch dates/shifts, cancel, etc. it’s basically literally unusable. Had to delete.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2025-10-13*

When I try to open the app it says it needs to update and will not allow me to use the current version.  The App Store doesn’t show any updates. I deleted and reinstalled and get the “Update” message again.  Also does not sync to iOS calendar.

### 1/5 — App is not functional

*2023-05-20*

Can not log in thru the app. Lots of features can’t get accessed because the app is less than usable. Tried to link my LinkedIn account and the app just keeps me stuck on the web portal login and won’t let me use the actual app

### 1/5 — Blank screen

*2021-05-18*

I am a VOMO user. I’ve downloaded the app, but see a blank screen when I tap to open. I deleted the app and downloaded it again. Same thing. Kinda useless.

**Developer response:** Hi ; jk, thank you for your feedback. The issue you are reporting here is new, so if you would not mind sending an email to support@vomo.org so that we can troubleshoot the issue for you? We are standing by and ready to serve you. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Short-sighted

*2019-10-26, version 2.4.4*

No way to volunteer without an invitation.

### 1/5 — App needs some help on Apple at least

*2019-08-01*

This app is much MUCH better in a web browser.  On a mobile device it’s near impossible to do much more than indicate you are going to an event.  So it may be fine for getting ten folks signed up for a yard clean up event, but if you want 3 to bring rakes, two to bring trimmers (and heaven forbid you need multiple kinds of trimmers), etc., it doesn’t work.  The app can take input but it doesn’t give a person much information.

**Developer response:** Hi Mutt527,

Thank you for your feedback. One of our core values is “we are always improving”, so we will take this feedback seriously in future updates of the VOMO app.

As you noticed the VOMO app is built for volunteers to find and signup for projects in as little as 3 clicks, but the web experience has many more tools for helping volunteer signups. We do however, allow for signing up for different Roles on the app, so we can definitely help you make sure that your example project is easily setup on the website and signed up for the on the app.

Please contact your VOMO Concierge with any questions about specifics on projects with custom roles. Call 214-973-5056 or email us at sipport@vomo.org.

Thanks!
The VOMO Concierge Team

### 1/5 — Can’t log in?

*2019-07-31, version 2.4.1*

I can log in fine via web, but the app just endlessly loops me to the login screen.

### 5/5 — SIMPLE AND EASY

*2021-07-31*

Easy to use, Iike it very mu h so far specially it's been helpful because since it can see your location then it gives you the options nearby and this has made a diference.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2021-07-31*

Brilliant every time. Feel safe getting in contact with people via the app and website. Have done 2 VOMOs so far and have 1 more coming up and not had a problem with any. Would totally recommend.

### 5/5 — Push notifications are a lifesaver

*2021-06-04*

Totally forgot I signed up for a project but a notification popped up in plenty of time to remind me the event was coming up.

**Developer response:** Hi Nuimnb, thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear that our push notifications worked as intended to remind you for your Volunteer Serving Date! We hope you enjoyed your experience and will volunteer again soon. If you have any questions along your way, do not hesitate to email support@vomo.org. We are here to help.

### 5/5 — App is working correctly now

*2021-03-05*

App is working now. I had trouble at first.

**Developer response:** Hi Quita827, thank you for your feedback. The issue you are reporting here is new, so if you would not mind sending an email to support@vomo.org so that we can troubleshoot the issue for you? We are standing by and ready to serve you. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Matching Needs with Willingness

*2018-04-12, version 1.3.84*

This is brilliant

### 5/5 — Can we get VOMO reps?

*2018-02-13*

How I came across this app: I just listened to a Q talk where the founder shared the benefits of communities using this app to collectively help them flourish.

I work in State College, PA. After downloading and setting my location, I was sad to see that the nearest VOMO volunteer opportunity is 2 hours away. 

What would be some next steps to help connect volunteer opportunities in State College to this app? I’d love to be a resource for this area.

**Developer response:** ReggieSif, thank you for the positive review and for the helpful feedback. We are in the process of activating more projects throughout the country on a daily basis. We'd love to connect with you to help you get something started in your community. Please send us an email at info@vomo.org and one of our reps will get the process started with you.

### 5/5 — Great idea

*2017-12-08, version 1.3.57*

Best of luck

### 5/5 — Perfect for volunteer opportunities

*2017-12-08*

This is a great app for volunteers to use. Great design. Simple to understand and use. Great tool for teams.
