POINT Reviews

I love that I can reach out and offer service opps to my students within minutes! Students love the easy access to local service hours.

I wish I could edit an event after it has started. Sometimes it is nice to add students during or after the event if they forget to sign up.

-POINT is accessible on both a downloadable app as well as in a browser, making it accessible to volunteers at all different levels of tech knowledge. -POINT has awesome giving features, such as the ability to add an Amazon wishlist. It also encourages volunteers to donate. -POINT keeps track of volunteer hours according to event and/or program. It allows volunteers to manually input hours, as well...

-I would love to see an addition in the future to allow the capability to see the breakdown of programs for each volunteer when exporting the data. i.e.: Jane Doe worked 7 hours in Crisis and 7 hours in Outreach - we should be able to see that, instead of 14 hours total in the spreadsheet.

Well like I said earlier, it's easy to use and maneuver thru. It's easy to understand and just follow the directions for using this software

Well Its easy to understand and to use this program.

I liked the layout and ease of finding things to volunteer for

It's not necessarily due to POINT, but as a staff of two, it's almost impossible to find time to log/keep track of volunteer hours. It just became something else we had to do, and it fell by the wayside. We have a really hard time managing volunteers because we're so understaffed. We need volunteers but don't have time to manage them...it's a constant problem.

We use Point to recruit volunteers for our upcoming events, such as fundraising events, tabling/community events, and more. Point is always effective at promoting our events to new categories of people that we otherwise would not have been able to reach. Their interface is extremely easy to use on our end, and very straightforward for users as well. The clean design makes volunteering a snap. We couldn't be happier with Point.

Honestly, there are no cons to the PointApp that jump out to me. When first using the app, the volunteers skewed very young- almost all high school students. Over time though, this has been rectified and we have a wide range of ages for volunteers- great work expanding.

POINT has helped me efficiently schedule and manage volunteers for fresh market. The app allows our volunteers to see when we need the most help and then sign up for those shifts easily. Before I used POINT, volunteers would email me to schedule shifts which became an unmanageable practice when the number of volunteers we needed tripled at the start of the pandemic. I am so thankful for POINT and recommend it to any nonprofit volunteer coordinator.

The POINT app already has all the features I need for my role.

We love that it's free for us to use, it's easy for the volunteers to use, and we've been able to reach more people at the same time as we manage our own events.

Maybe if admins would be able to manually add volunteer hours for those that do not have access to app or computer.

Volunteers like to use it to discover opportunities and track their efforts. The platform attracted us to a group of eager volunteers. Innovate regularly. Multiple administrators. Notice about registration. The ability to send emails to volunteers.

As the visibility of the app increases, we look forward to attracting more volunteers and entering more markets commensurate with our national footprint

POINT is very convenient and easy for our volunteer organization. When we post events to POINT we always get great participation from the community. I would recommend to anyone looking to get the word out about a volunteer opportunity.

There are no cons to using POINT. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

My favorite features are the communication capabilities and having all the event information for volunteers in one place. It still includes my contact information in case any issues arise, but all the details are set for them.

I have had no issues in my short time using POINT and have been satisfied with the available features.

Volunteers like to use it to discover opportunities and to track their effort. The platform opens us to a fresh audience of eager volunteers. Regular innovations. Multiple admins. Notifications about sign-ups. Feature for emailing volunteers.

We look forward to tapping an expanded audience of volunteers as the application visibility grows, and enters more markets that match our national footprint.

First, the price question is a moot point because we don't pay for it. It's super easy to use and if I can't figure it out, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is there to help me out. She also makes suggestions about how to optimize what we are doing.

Not able to background check volunteers.

I love the ease for volunteers to be able to sign up and the event management is great!

We hope in the future it will help with volunteer recruitment in the Colorado Springs area.

I use POINT to recruit for our volunteer projects and events. We've had some amazing volunteers join us through POINT, and the fact that sign-ups can be through a phone app makes this such an innovative, easy-to-use tool. It's so easy to make postings for events/projects on POINT, and the way that POINT formats postings makes lots of sense.

It would be nice to post recurring or multi-date events on POINT, but that is not a huge drawback (there are ways to get around this issue).

It has helped us recruit volunteers with minimal effort, it has good tracking, it collects data for sand has been a big asset to our event management

There have been a few technical issues that were easily resolved through customer service.

I like being able to track volunteer hours, easily edit future events, and check volunteers in through POINT. I also love that the customer service folks are quick and responsive.

I wish I could edit multiple future events at once.

POINT is easy to use, well designed, and visually appealing.

POINT has amazing features already, but I'm excited for new and future features.

Love how I can upload volunteers to the app and track their volunteer hours!

Some volunteers had a difficult time signing up at first
