CaringBridge

I just love caring bridge as a way of sharing information and allowing so many additional ways to support the people who need it.

I am recovering from cancer myself and just discovered this app when a friend experienced a stroke. I know about life in hospital and how time is so precious . This app really helps the family involved and all their support gang!

This has been a great app to keep a very large group of people updated on a loved ones health and news. Had never heard of it before but has been really helpful and grateful for that.

This app / program has been essential in keeping my loved ones up to date with my AML journey. Nice to be on a platform that isn’t Facebook. You can control how private you would like your page to be. Highly recommended!!

The site list doesn't keep track of who I've visited, I have to type the name in every time as an error comes up saying there was an error. please fix as it's hard to remember the exact way each page is spelt. Otherwise a fantastic app

Really upsetting to see there’s a post and all it is is your request for $ While I understand the need for financial support I don’t appreciate gut drop when I see the notification thinking something has happened

I’ve authored and co-authored several CaringBridge sites over the years. I have appreciated the relative ease of creating, updating and otherwise modifying sites - until earlier this year. Don’t know what happened to blow CaringBridge out of the water a few months ago, and the complete lack of communication about it was baffling. I’d still appreciate something more than “we’re working hard.” While there’s been progress in recent months, the site still lacks much of its previous usability. As an author, I find it clumsy, difficult, and frustrating to use. More importantly, large numbers of my sister’s supporters and readers have stopped using it, and that is a very great loss. Are there plans to restore more functionality? Will CaringBridge communicate anything of substance that might help its users? Is anyone paying attention to feedback from the community of users? I hope so. Thanks for your time and attention.

Not working 3 days now

Before you made the update I received text notifications when a new post was added, now I get emails and I miss half of them. I don’t know why you would take away this notification option.

Great tool for updating withone post to everyone at once along with comments and caring thoughts. The app has a serious flaw though. None of us seem to be able to access the updates through the app without rebooting our phones each and every time. Also, being promoted as free is a bit deceptive due to the constant bombardment of donation requesting. I donated immediately but no matter. I removed the app I paid for the convenience of and access through the link in my email to get updates. Mixed blessing.
