After missing a volunteer opportunity, I am downgrading to ONE star because this app doesn't send meeting notices for us to add to our calendar. Amongst other issues with this app. Very difficult to filter and search for volunteer opportunities by location (e.g., within 10 miles), by date (e.g., 24 May 2021) or shift (mornings only). Some links take you to the browser version instead of within the app - makes me wonder why I want to even use the app.

Hi Mark - thanks for your feedback. I am not sure if you are aware, but in addition to the reminders you can add events to your personal calendar using the iCal feed. In a future update there will also be the ability to add these reminders one by one. We also have calendaring filtering improvements planned for 2024.

As others have indicated, this app does not let the user search for shifts by location. I am totally unable to locate shifts outside my assigned region.

The app is not working. I've set up my volunteer connection profile, volunteered and completed my shift but the Volunteer Connection App still does not recognize my email or phone. Upon opening the app for the first time, I entered my email/ phone number. After entering my email/ phone number, the screen displays the following: "Address/ Phone number not found in any authorized directory. " Due to this error message, I am unable to use the app.
