Abhi: Hi, I'm Abhi. I'm a research coordinator. I give VolunteerLocal five out of five, and for more reviews like this click below. So we use VolunteerLocal to coordinate with our volunteers on different service projects and different events in the local area. And so, this allows us to seamlessly contact our other users very easily through text messages and email. That kind of thing. In a streamline fashion, we're able to use VolunteerLocal to update users, volunteers with their hours. And so, they're able to check on their end using either the mobile app or online very easily. How many hours they've accrued over the time. So that's a great way to keep check on hours for many different purposes. So I've noticed on the online platform, there have been a few compatibility issues. The app works fine, but on the web platform, on the online platform, it doesn't work very smoothly. So I think VolunteerLocal could improve on some of those glitches that happen in their online platform.
