So easy! Plus, covid test results! Make/change appointments, search is fairly intuitive, very clear. Turn on just the reminders you want, for me that’s when I’m eligible again and when it’s time for rapid-pass check in. Plus eview medications and travel restriction details at leisure (not just when waiting to give!). 3.5 gallons and counting. […]

Good: auto-add appointment to calendar, digital rapid pass, sign-in, donor card, scheduling (so-so), rescheduling (meh) Bad: follow my “blood journey” doesn’t work at all. When scheduling/rescheduling, it doesn’t tell you time slots are full til the end. It shouldn’t prompt you to take a time slot that is already full! Gotta keep trying again and […]
The appointment search functionality needs to be fixed. It’s so frustrating that I just ended up calling. I spend all this time in menus to be given a list of drives that I can theoretically go to, just to be told I am not eligible (with no info given) and to restart the search all […]
The app mostly works just fine. it’s a great way for me to schedule my next appointments instead of trying to figure out when and where I can next donate over the phone. the only issue I seem to have is that when I complete the rapid pass through the app, the donation drives seem […]
The app has many helpful features for keeping track of my hemoglobin & BP as well as my appts. The only suggestion would be for the gallon badges to keep up. I’m at 11 gallons as of yesterday but it’s not even showing as an option. I recall that the 10 gallon badge didn’t show […]
I like that the app tracks my information and let’s me see how much blood I’ve donated over time, etc. However, currently on the home screen it tells me I can donate now (as do the continued calls from ARC) but when trying to schedule a new appointment it says I’m not eligible because it’s […]
This app is frustrating because when it lists upcoming dates and locations for blood drives, it doesn’t filter out the ones that already have all their timeslots filled. The only way to see whether there are any slots left at that drive is to click on the drive and view its details. So it may […]
The scheduling part of this app is really poorly designed. Plug in your location and preferred time and see a list of location that are fully booked and/or outside of your time constraints. Wouldn’t it just be easier to show all the open slots only? What’s the point in seeing fully booked locations and having […]
**Edited 8/13/20 Had to just remove from my phone, the information just doesn’t sync, won’t let me schedule an appt at a drive. Just easier to use the website.** Original review: If you schedule an appt to give the day of, or even the day before using the app, it will not show up at […]
Really appreciate Red Cross and all of the good they do. But as far as this app goes, I’m just not sure. I made an appointment the other day and did RapidPass but when I arrived at the blood drive they had no record of it. Showing them my text from ARC and the RapidPass […]
I find the app easy to use in general. Scheduling is intuitive which is very helpful. However, the rapid pass is hit and miss. I’ve had to restart every time. And, at the end the QR doesn’t always show on the screen. I believe it’s a Wi-Fi issue, which isn’t always available at the donation […]
It’s a nice app but I wish I could log my height and weight. I was going to do the power red donation until I realized that I did not meet the eligibility requirements to do so. If I had been able to put my height and weight in than it would have kicked me […]
Making appointments is easy enough, but if they call you (which they will) your blood journey won’t be recorded; and they can’t add it on either. Some links ( e.g. such as manufacturer data -accuracy-on Covid-19 test )do not work. A few informative blood characteristic information is buried in menus. Otherwise it’s fairly easy to […]
This app has such potential to be really great, but it just isn’t. I don’t like how it doesn’t connect the rapid pass to the app if you take it outside of the app. There should be a way to connect it. I also can never schedule my next donation immediately after a donation. I […]
***Edited 07/20/20: Improvements have been made, so scheduling an appointment is definitely easier. Rapid Pass via the app is a huge help! And I usually see my donation entered by the next day. I have had ARC cancel for me, though, a few times. –Maybe the problem is w/my device, but logging in is extremely […]
Great app, just used it this past week and showed another person there how to get it and use it. Unfortunately there was an issue where I had booked a time, got confirmation, had the rapid pass, but the woman at the sign in desk said I wasn’t in their list and was going to […]
For the most part, it’s a great app that allows for easy blood donation schedule, your own info, and even rewards. The only reason i took out a star is because when scheduling an appt, it only allows you to select a time period but never days. Most people work during the week & I’d […]
Most of the features are awesome, but there is still a lot of clunkiness. They had trouble with rapid passes being unavailable without cell service…. fixed that and created a new problem with donor cards being unavailable. The ‘smart scheduling’ that is based on your last appointment doesn’t account for having given blood on day […]
it freezes up and I have to give the wrong answer and go back to fix it. Plus, I don’t know if it’s the same with other phones (I have a Pixel), the next and back buttons are too low so it’s easy to hit the navigation buttons on my phone. Also, I wish it […]
Overall it’s good. The UI needs a little improvement. Specifically when you go to do the RapidPass and you’re asked to enter your DOB 1) I shouldn’t have to type the slashes between MM/DD/YYYY, they should auto-fill 2) my phone’s keyboard should automatically go into number entry mode and 3) currently at least on my […]
