Since the latest update the app will not work, I have uninstalled and reinstalled it more than 10 times and still only getting a blank white screen. Please sort it out as it is such a valuable app for information about donation clinics and times.

I've said this before when I was asked about the app in development it needs far more usability and should have access to your details. You should be given a secure username and password when you donate so you can login. Then have the app set reminders for you to let you know when you are able to donate again, how many donations you have given, what blood type you are.

What this app really needs is a notification facility to alert you to upcoming clinics in your chosen town. Then it would serve as a really useful tool to increase donations.

Where's Wexford in the county options list??

Yep, no county laois even though donations do happen in Portlaoise!

Any chance you could stick Wexford on the county list

Very handy app.

I think the idea behind this is good but it needs some work as its quite basic and no better than the website.

Very informative and everything worked well on my Samsung. Gives all the upcoming dates of diner clinics

Same info as the website. Its actually easier to find a clinic on the website because you can search more than one county at once. Should be able to log in and find out basic info like last donation date. Add a countdown timer so donors know when their 90 days are up. And if the app would automatically tell you where next clinics were near you within a certain distance radius pre set by the user it would be spot on.

Crappy iPhone app port, half the buttons don't apply to android. Information is easier to get on the website

App helps to find time and date for blood clinics etc

Information is far easier to access on the web site. The contact us button opens my email app, prepopulates some text in the message, but doesn't put in a To address, so not much use! App doesn't behave properly when Android back button used.

The IBTS already have my details so it would be nice if I could log in using this app, see my history and receive into about when I'm sure to donate or even receive notifications whenever any of my friends donate.

Awful app, offers no extra functionality. No calendar interface. Waste of time

That's all really. Grand, but as a regular donor, I'd love a countdown app. I already had a text with the date of my last donation. A tip: Put the date into a spreadsheet and then "=A1 + 90" That shows you the date 90 days from then. I have downloaded the free Android app '99 Days'. Once you work out the next date you can get your smartphone to show a countdown to your next donation. Only 28 days to go!

In an app. I thought it would give reminders and be intelligent but it's just the info from the site in a packaged format.

As others mentioned the back button quits the app instead of going back a screen. Also please include the option to create a reminder on my calendar directly from the app. Thanks

When I moved to a different county I didn't know where to donate. This will be so useful:) so happy to see an app like this

Much needed app. The map however is a little sketchy and the phone's back button exits app. Minor things tho, well done.

Importaint app to have & share.
