It's great now that the platelet has now been added to this app. When I moved from donating blood to platelets, I couldn't use this app anymore to make or track an appointment, which was a shame and waste of a good system. Well done now easy to book and keep track

Hi. The app is no longer working properly. I keep receiving the message " Sorry there is a problem with the Service Please try again later". I had a colleague try his app and he receives the same message so it isn't just me. This was working about 2-3 Months ago. Had to uninstall it and log in using the browser. Tried to reinstall and still get the same issue. Have uninstalled until fixed. Thank you.

As a platelet donor, being able to use the app for appointments is nothing short of transformational! It's easy to navigate and contains helpful information and clear guidance.
