  • Ability to add up to 5 favourite donation locations and get a notification when the blood drives are coming.  
  • You can now export your appointments as an ICS file to appear on your desktop computer.

  • Get notifications for appointment reminders, urgent appeals for your blood type, when the blood drive is coming to the default donation location set in your profile and when your blood (available for whole blood donors only) is being used to help save a life.
