CaringBridge for iPhone makes it easy to stay connected to your loved ones while you re on-the-go. Use your iPhone or iPod Touch to visit CaringBridge websites and leave messages of support in guestbooks. ...
I have all the very same concerns and frustrations and would so appreciate some of these issues being worked on Thank you             DITTO on Where is donated money going to Mars830
I ve stopped using it since it can t be trusted You try and change one event and they all change delete one thing and lose everything and many of the links are missing     Really inconsistent AsiaRain
This app doesn t seem like it s been updated since 2008 Sure it accomplishes the mission of privately consolidating communication but the text and formatting are very primitive and inflexible I hope the donations they re begging for will go toward an app developer Meanwhile I recommend just saving a browser shortcut on your home screen         How old is this app sandcrawler
Also don t shove donate buttons in our face the whole time The focus should be on our loved ones If raising money is important find a better way to do it Maybe actually improve the app and web user experience and value to start off with Again valuable service but mediocre execution         Useful service app has very bad interface design Dapertutto
So many missing features and don t bother downloading app if you used Google as single sign on for site because not available in app     Great website but app is horrible Thinkjsm
This app is disappointing and frustrating It does not allow me to sign into all of the sites that I can access through the webpage I m removing the app from my phone and will just access everything through the webpage It s not worth it to have to remember which site I can access where Very frustrating Needs lots of help     Disappointing app penandra
I started Journaling on Caringbridge 8 years ago when my son was diagnosed with leukemia I had been following a friends cancer journey four years prior to that When I first started journaling the site was awesome You could control the size of your letters which was great as I had some older People with vision problems following the site Then after about 4 years the site updated and lost those features and became harder to navigate It did add a feature where you could see the last 9 people who logged in to the site Then they updated again to what we have now My son passed away last year and my husband and I were going to make a sizable donation esp since my son s site became my niece s site she had emergency open heart surgery the day after my son died But we are reluctant to as the site keeps becoming worse not better If they would improve the site back to what it used to be and fix the glitches and crashes everyone is talking about this could be a 5 star site again             Declining site Moxformom
Whenever I get a notification that there is an update for me I ALWAYS get an error message and when I type the name in it says that there is no such site This is constant so I have stopped using it It s dry disappointing         Not user friendly Betsy 1
There is not a place on the app like when you log in on your computer in the Ways to Help part I d like to be able to add see links also on my mobile app Also the link to donate to caring bridge is way too big misleading I think most people believe this is how you can donate directly to the person in which the site is set up for         Needs to link more accurately with website Lmh1206
CaringBridge is amazing The app is a buggy nuisance     Apps is buggy Kealk
This app is so clunky and awkward and buggy Whether you re a page s author or visitor it s hard to navigate You can t see comments or photo descriptions beyond a certain number of characters It s clear that the site s owners have no reason to update this because it s free and they know if you re downloading the app you already need it I would understand that except I just wish perhaps they hadn t written an app at all instead of this awfully designed headache         Barely functional Gonecrunchy303
Thank you for the CaringBridge site It has been such a help as I navigate cancer However I would say it only works about half of the time on the app on my iPhone A little frustrating             Great app When it works JJ222222
Bugs are getting in the way of this wonderful app I m a stage 4 cancer patient and caring bridge is becoming very important to my everyday life The bugs are making the app hard to use A long journal post is showing up fully on a desktop display but only the top 15 of it shows in the app before an odd thin red line appears A number of my friends use their phones to access my page and a really important journal is unreadable Smaller problems are cosmetic but this bug is frustrating                 I love the IDEA of this app But buggy Meg9
The red numbers beside the sites do not go away or refresh It s rather annoying             Used to be great Amyjo1973939
This is a great app when it works It used to work fine but the last few weeks not as well I get a lot more error failed to load messages and the red numbers beside the site names that indicate new updates on that site do not refresh So it appears I have unread updates             Great when works iluv2bamom
I can read a journal entry but it doesn t show I ve read it The refresh doesn t help             Help Mgn mom
The numbers by the updates don t disappear when refreshing the app or leaving the app or going back into it             Update numbers not refreshing Matthew shmo
I love CaringBridge and what it enables for those going through a health crisis However very frequently the app gets an error retrieving my sites I end up having to wait until I can get to my PC in order to get updates or post updates If not for that I would give the app 5 stars         Can t load site list Rtetley
I created my account by logging in with Google on the website This app doesn t let you do that so I can t log in It s worthless Some other reviewer complained that it didn t allow Facebook login It seems they added that Wouldn t you make sure you added all the other options at the same time     Cannot login with Google pevensen
Hard to understand how a site that looks great on a web page could translate so poorly to an App The app distorts the main picture for starters and then deteriorates from there How is this possible No thanks     Hmm better in a browser k6xlt
Couple pet peeves having been a customer for a while First the constant prompt for donations to the website I guess I can understand an initial prompt when you get your account But disguising the donation to the website company as a tribute to a patient seems a bit of a stretch It doesn t go to the patient It doesn t go to their cause It goes to the website company to maintain the site which btw needs plenty of work Second I m the patient in our site and folks make comments after my journal entries I d love the functionality to respond to their individual comments but it doesn t exist I can only add general comments to the rest of the comments So if Suzie from the coffee shop says Miss your shining face I can t respond Miss your dog stories back All I can do is add a comment to the bigger list Next surely there s a communication prompt that can easily bring in email addresses to notify about Caring Bridge updates without having to type them all in That one could be my ignorance I hope so Finally the phone app as mentioned by other reviewers needs work I see garbage characters in the phone app I don t see on my Mac Air Also I posted two pics online and only one showed up on the app How bout some of that tribute money going to fix these bugs         Where is donated money going to if not to fix bugs LuvsGoodFood
I logged into CaringBridge via FB and it worked just fine But when I downloaded the CaringBridge app for the iPhone and tried to log in via FB I just kept getting an error message So I tried to log in using other ways but it wouldn t let me because I had already logged into CaringBridge using FB I deleted the app because it simply does not work     App does not allow FB login information TruthIsNotAnOpinion
I generally love this app especially when I use it from my iPhone But the iPad app ALWAYS crashes on me when I try to upload my journal entry to Facebook When I go to my phone and pull up the journal I just wrote from my iPad I can upload it to Facebook with no problem It would be great if this glitch could be fixed on the iPad app             iPad app is in need of update Neelie35
Fix bugs glitches update to iOS 9     Fix bugs glitches Ratty86
So if you ve already setup your account with a facebook login from an iPad or PC you can t access your account from the iPhone app So basically useless to me     Facebook login does not work with app Dmbfanusa
For the most part this app is always experiencing an error When it works I think the app is great I delete app and reload it always update it when available and this app for 75 of the time is in error mode and can t access anything         Great app when it is working ND local
The new format of the CaringBridge website is more of a headache than anything It was helpful and easy to update family and friends during my illness Now they are striving for more form rather than function It used to be much better The app was never great but is now getting worse with each update Now it sees that I am logged in but fails trying to anything else CaringBridge needs to spend its time fixing bugs not making them        Website and App in Decline
Such a great concept for being able to follow health issues with family and friends but the new version is downright terrible Not only does it randomly kick me out it now no longer has my site list Ive seen failed far too many times on the screen and am completely unable to set up insite notifications The only viable option at this point is to try to use the website     New version is beyond poor
Each time you update the Caring Bridge app it gets harder and harder to use It crashes it loses the sites I visit it logs me out unexpectedly I love the CB site and loved this app until you started updating it Please please fix it so that it works as well as it originally did     Please go back to the old app
This is a great app to help share notifications when people are battling an illness or in the hospital and its too much to keep up with updates Our family has used this through several cancer journeys One of the cancers was brain cancer and my dad could not remember weeks in the ICU In this case it was a great way for him to look back I want to use it for a friends transplant next week but it seems to be a little buggy right now on the iPhone Please fix I trust this site and dont want to switch to a new one                 Great app and service but having first problems recently
With the latest update I am having the same issues as everyone else The main page says Failed and when I try to visit a site it says Password required and login required even though I am fully logged in I can view my profile and I am getting notifications of new entries for journals I follow Unfortunate because when following the email link I also get when there is an update to the journal the text is wrapped oddly on my iPhone and cant be read in Safari without moving the page manually from side to side So now there is no easy way to read the journal updates from my phone Please fix the app Caringbridge        Failed message
When the app tells you there is a new post it gives you an icon indicating 3 new posts when really theres only one Very annoying About to delete the app and never use it again     This app has major issues
I have had nothing but trouble since the big update Every time I try to go to the sites I follow it says failed The previous version was so much easier and quicker to navigate     Sooo frustrating
Totally useless nowseriously 14 reviews Where are the multitude of negative reviews from just a few days ago     Zero stars
Use to be 5 star Now 1 star and have to use the browser Cannot read journals or likes completely as they are cutoff     Mobile app lousy user content excellent
Hate the update Very problematic Please go back What you do as an org is most important Keep the app functional and simple not fancy and cumbersome Focus on what is truly useful and meaningful     Go Back
Update Im very disappointed to say that I ultimately had to delete this app from my phone Its that annoyingly unusable What a shame and what an incredible disservice to the patients and families who rely on this tool What on earth has happened to the Caring Bridge app This update is a total disaster requires login every time crashes doesnt remember my sites positively awful Bring back the previous version or fix this one PLEASE     HATE The New Update
I started my caringbridge site after being diagnosed with cancer It is so convenient to use the planner to help your support team sign up and schedule themselves Great way to avoid having to send group texts to everyone One place to update your status Very easy blogtype site I love it AD FREE                 Excellent App
This version repairs the numerous errors introduced with the last major update App now works fine What a marvelous service to those we love who are sick                 Update has fixed issues
Does not display the content correctly Garbage characters throughout and only shows a few lines Have reset iPad and reinstalled app Simply useless I have to go to website Nice idea poor execution     Awful
Still crashes App crashes and shuts down ipad every time I try to open it This happens even with the latest update     Crash
Login Failed is all I get I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it Also tried resetting my password Same thing happened to a friend Were both on iPhone 5s Broken     Cant Login to Updated App
I love the app but Im not getting push notifications when there is a new journal entry Please fix this its very important to me              Love it
now that I logged out and logged back in as advised by customer care              Works fine
Im giving this one star because it wont let me give 0 stars This new update is dreadful The layout is awful Now it doesnt tell me whos account has been updated Currently it is stuck in the loading modeI dont mind looking at it on the computer but this is beyond lame Why try to fix what wasnt broken     Horrible
They make financial donations appear like they are going to the patient but they actually go straight to Caring Bridge Every person including me has had mentions meant for the patient be fooled by their donations page Pretty shady           Kinda Shady with Donations
Since the major upgrade a few months many of the problems I encountered have been fixed Still there remain issues that have been reported but not fixed First in reading journal entries the bottom is still cut off so I have to go to the website to read updates Second on the list of pages I follow it is still not possible to remove pages For a while the delete was there but didnt work now its not even available Still not functional enough        Better but still not fully functional
I like the ability to keep people updated on the status of our little one through journal posts I am able to write on my mobile device Super convenient I do not like that if after writing a very long and detailed post if I hit Journal at the top left of the screen I am navigated back to the journal overview screen and my post I am working on is lost Add a feature to save work in progress and a dialog box pop up to notify the user they are about to dump their journal entry and do they want to save before doing anything that would allow the post to be lost           Good but also super frustrating
Deleted the app today It no longer works Nice upgrade Frustrating     Does not work
Please bring back the old app until this one works Current app crashes frequently and constantly requires users to relogin It no longer tracks the sites I visit Even when I click sites I follow nothing is there I completely lost the 68 people I was following This is so disappointing I cant imagine the developers tested this before launching I guess it looks nice but there is zero functionality People use this site and app to communicate critical information Launching an update that doesnt work is irresponsible not to mention embarrassing     What Happened
Your update is a dismal failure I liked the old look much better and I dont find this one easier to use Worst thing I hate that I have to login after every stupid update Try again     Update fail
Once I click on a site I cant back out of it Its just bad Delete     Bad
Caring Bridge used to be a great tool for sharing updates about my husbands health with family and friends It was so convenient to use this app to post from the hospital Unfortunately when they decided to upgrade to a flashy user experience they didnt ensure that the functionality still worked Each update since then has broken even more of the app I cant edit the site I manage and I cant even view other peoples sites at all This is such a shame because it used to be a good app but isnt anymore If you are in the unfortunate situation of needing a Caring Bridge site then you really dont need the added frustration of this broken app     Quality keeps declining
When I first got this app it worked great and now whenever I try and do anything it says failed        Doesnt log in
Not user friendly Does not show updates in mobile version without email or checking each site Too much back and forth Links in sites not accessible from journal        Not a fan of latest update
I can no longer read the entire journal entries because it cuts the text off and you can tell there is more text to read When you try to scroll down further it just shows a blank screen This new app has been nothing but trouble        New messages
For a website that primarily uses funding to go towards majorly sick it seems they could put a little time and effort into fixing and updating their app since most people use their phones and tablets to sign onto the site in the hospitals and in general overall You should be able to scroll all the way down in journal entries but instead it gets cut off so you cant see all of it Picturesvideos are a mess to view edit resort etc And unrelated to the app you should allow authors to give coauthors the ability to edit change upload in each section for example if you only want someone to upload photos you can choose that for them but nothing else This app and site needs some definite reworking           Needs Some Serious Updates
Ditto to what Ameslou99 said I just went from a daily user to removing the app from my phone altogether until its fixed Because as it is not working and totally unusable its just taking up space     Frustrating
It used to work now it doesnt Fire the iOS team     Was good now horrible
The sites I follow are missing It is no longer user friendly Please go back to the previous format     Please fix
Looks like this latest release solved a lot of issues Thank you so much App is great now                 App is great now
I loved this website to keep people in the loop when my daughter was ill and in the hospital I was thrilled to have an app to make updating and following others updates even easier Except it doesnt work Period Every time Ive logged in it says failed and the customer service people are apathetic at best Now not only can I not use the app I am no longer interested in using the website Speaking of failed     Unfortunate
Your last two updates are complete FAILS I cant access the 3 sites I follow Please fix Yesterday     Update FAIL
I was posting a 1 star review and then on a whim decided to delete the app from my phone and reinstall That seemed to work and I am able to follow my friends and family again              Need to delete old app and reinstall
When I try to view the sites I follow I get this message Request failed internal server error 500     Wont open
You listened to all the bad reviews and you fixed the issue with knowing which sites has updated Thank you Still not perfect but a solid 4 stars              Thank you
I do not like the recent update at all Before you would open the app and all your sites were there ready to open Now you have to know the name of the site before you can get in Youve made it very difficult when it used to very user friendly You need to fix this These families are already going thru so much they dont need this nonsense     Do not like
The app worked well for awhile but since the iOS 8 update it returns failures left and right About 75 of the time when I try to load guestbook or journal entries I get a network error message unable to connect unable to load comments Seems like the app is due for an update Its almost awesome        Time for an Update
I tried to create a new user but it told me my email is already in use So I typed in my email to the iForgot and it told me it cant find my email and that I should make a new account     I cant use it
The iPhone app doesnt notify of new posts the iPad one does              iPhone doesnt notify
Bring back the old app I have removed the app from my phone I used to love the Caringbridge app Not anymore     Still Terrible
It crashes constantly Buttons are being pushed that Im not doing Its very annoying        Love it almost
Its still messing up I cant read the whole journal entry Please fix it     No thanks
Please fix the latest update The app continues to close and fails to work     Awful update
New version does not work well and always logs me out Was very happy with old version Dont fix it if its not broke     Bring back the old
Did not like the new look update because it has so many issues They fixed some of the issues but now they just has another update and the app doesnt work at all It always says failed when I try to use it Also wish there was a backbutton so you dont have to go to the menu and scroll down every time you want to go back to the site list Please fix it Cannot recommend as it doesnt even work right now     Do not like new update
