★★★★★ AvsJoe · Jun 4, 2026

Very convenient way to book blood donation appointments and checking donation stats. The app works fast, contains all the info you'll need in easy to find spots, and doesn't take up a lot of memory. Great app.

★★★★★ Vincent SPICER · Dec 14, 2025

Parking at Calgary Tower is easy, a voucher is provided (free). Triage at 9th Ave clinic is fast & efficient, donating blood is so quick & easy to do.

★★★★★ Rolando Antonio Guerra · Jan 15, 2026

★★★★★ Susan Rabb · Mar 9, 2026

It's always so easy to book an appointment; the app is excellent. I'm usually in and out very quickly.

★★★★★ Susith Kelaniyage · Oct 17, 2026

I donated Plasma. Giving blood or plasma is such a simple way to make a life-changing difference. Giving blood is a simple way to save lives. The staff at the donation center are friendly, polite, and kind.

★☆☆☆☆ kyle bleich · Dec 30, 2025

My donation was rejected due to a past diagnosis of syphilis. Once treated, syphilis poses no risk of transmission through blood, meaning my donation was perfectly healthy. What makes this particularly frustrating is that there was no clear communication beforehand that a past syphilis infection would make my blood ineligible. My time, effort, and blood were wasted because this policy, do better, be better,

★☆☆☆☆ Zenfindel · Jun 11, 2026

FABRICATED SHORTAGE. Scamming people into giving blood and plasma for free while the government of Canada pays for American blood/plasma that American citizens get PAID for to give. So the government of Canada pays USA citizens with our tax$ for their blood/plasma but refuses to pay Canadians. Why not also pay Canadians for our blood and help people survive on the outside of hospitals as well as inside hospitals? WHY IS CANADA RIPPING OFF CANADIANS BUT PAYING AMERICANS?

★☆☆☆☆ Koby Lang · Jun 27, 2026

27. Jun.2026: Recent update resulted in limited ability to book new appointment more than a month ahead (changing from an earlier appointment, a recent change (email confirmation received) is not showing as my next donation, cannot cancel the hard date listed in the app as CBS preferred donation date for me. FIX IT NOW!!!
