First time donor

The app is informative, helpful, and easy to use! Moreover, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and painless it is to donate blood! The rapid pass also helps speed up the process. I wish I would have donated sooner knowing how much it helps so many people. However, I was turned away in my college years due to “small veins” and figured I wasn’t a candidate. I am so glad I went back! I am a nurse, and have worked in many areas. Having worked in Intensive Care, I have seen first hand how much blood is needed and used! This app keeps track of my donations and how often I can donate as well as other helpful tools like; preparing for donation, blood type, and Rapid Pass. I will definitely be doing my part by donating as often as able now that I’ve experienced how easy it is and how much it saves lives! (I’ve had blood draws more painful and timely than this experience!) So grateful I was asked to donate! I hope I can encourage more people to do their part and donate! Thanks for all you do, ARC! ❤️

Useful for RapidPass only

It’s great for saving time by being able to answer all the questions via RapidPass before going to donate. It could be useful for other things but so much about the app seems off or unnecessary. The digital donor card would be great for me to show a history of BP readings. Unfortunately, it shows only the last three readings, and if you have it show the full history, the only information shown is the type of donation, date, and location (full history of BP, pulse, and hemoglobin IS available on the website). Consistency of information would be good here. The Blood Journey is interesting but would be more so with a little more information and if it were more up to date (right now doesn’t have the info from my donation of over 3 months ago). And although I figured out that the Blood Journey is showing the donations in reverse chronological order, why isn’t the full date (showing the year) displayed? Most other informational features are unnecessary once you’ve donated once or twice, and the badges are lame. I’m a Power Red donor so only need to use this three times a year, so instead of bogging down my phone I use it on my iPad. Only got it for the benefit of seeing the Blood Journey, and have been waiting to see some improvements but have yet to be rewarded. I may just forgo the little information I do get about the Blood Journey (only available through the app) and just go back to using RapidPass on the website.

Enhancement suggestion: add platelet count and yield

Under Donation History, it currently displays blood pressure, hemoglobin, and pulse from the last donation. For people who donate platelets such as myself, I would suggest adding platelet count (the number that is supposed to be 150 or higher) and platelet yield (the percent that is supposed to be around 7 or higher). I have shown up at the donation site to donate platelets a few times, only to be told that my previous count or yield was low and was told that I needed to re-schedule at a later date. I was given those numbers at that time, but I could have avoided wasting the donation sites time (and mine) if I could have checked myself beforehand. Since the number is in the record, it must be in your database, so I am suggesting that it also be added to the display in the app. Thank you.

Works best for infrequent donors

This app functions and keeps track of donation history and help you book appointment, among other things. The reason I bump this down is twofold:1) while there are recommended blood types listed for two of the styles of donation, it doesn’t explain what each style accomplishes, or what the differences are between them (such as length between donations; which blood type is considered the “universal donor” and thus highly sought after, since this changes from type to type; or what sort of uses the product has. For people who want to donate as many times a year as possible, it is important for us to be able to see how we can maximize the benefits of our product)2) Limiting searches to certain variables MUST be done one item at a time, and then wait for the list to repopulate.2a) Related: there is no way to limit searches to days of the week, rather than time of day or location etc.2b) there is no way to sign up for multiple appointments at one time—the entire searching process has to happen all over again every single time.

The Donation History section now has the option to export a PDF file of your donation history within the last 36 months, allowing you to set your preferred timeframe. You can also set your preferred map and internet browser apps directly from your in-app settings
