When searching you are able to go back to the search via that “back to results” button. Unfortunately, if you go into a listing organization’s profile or click on any of the tabs for more information, you are not able to toggle back and have to start your search from the beginning. Makes using the app less desirable than webpage.
App functionality
Jude450
I downloaded this app to find volunteering opportunities in my area. The site has been very helpful for me and I was excited to be able to search more conveniently on my phone. However, the app is lacking in some basic functionality features making app is overall useless to me. For some reason, there is no way to filter by location, so I see thousands of results with no way to narrow them down. I live in a very populous city. For a company whose ethos is community service it is quite difficult to service my community without a filter to locate it. As others have noted, there is no “back” button, so one has to go through the tedious process of redoing every search after you tap on a job listing. I will probably just use the site from now on.
Great Idea, Poor App

The app was a bit difficult when I first started using it, but I was able to figure it out. Since then, I have not been able to figure out how to update any settings, or easily navigate the app whatsoever. I will continue checking in to see if the app has gotten any updates that might have addressed this issue. I will certainly re-attempt if it improves!
Great listings. Terrible app
Annoyed&Unhappy
This app glitches so badly it’s practically unusable. I have to log in after I open each listing to read. I have to redo my search settings each time I log in. The listings are great, but using this app is painful.
