WASHINGTON, D.C. (Nov. 2, 2021) – The American Red Cross Blood Donor App was selected among the best apps for charitable giving in 2021 by BestApp.com, an in-depth guide for the latest mobile app reviews and technology trends. Apps on the list were selected based on several core features like bank account connection, tax deductibility, and community interactivity.
The Red Cross Blood Donor App was selected for helping make giving blood convenient and easy with many special features for donors. Users of the app can start by learning about eligibility based on health, recent travel, etc., then search for blood drives nearby using a built-in map tool and schedule an appointment. Once users have a scheduled appointment, they can complete the RapidPass pre-screening questionnaire directly in the app to save time during their blood drive visit. Donors can also use the app to view donation history and results from health screenings, track which hospital their blood goes to, and learn about other ways to volunteer or contribute.
The Red Cross Blood Donor App was ranked Best for Blood Donors among the leading solutions. This app currently has more than 4.5 million downloads and approximately one third of all donation appointments made with the Red Cross are made through the app.
