Blood Donor

Blood donation planning in one place

Blood Donor is the American Red Cross app for people who give blood or are considering a donation. It helps you find nearby blood drives and donation centers, book an appointment, and keep useful donation details together on your phone. It suits regular donors who want an easier way to manage appointments, as well as occasional donors looking for a local opportunity to give.

Useful tools for donors

The app can reduce some of the paperwork around a donation. RapidPass lets eligible users complete their health history before arriving, which may help shorten the check-in process. A digital donor card keeps donor information available in the app, while donation records provide a way to look back at previous visits.

• Search for nearby blood drives and donation locations.
• Schedule and manage donation appointments.
• Complete the RapidPass health questionnaire when available.
• Review donation history and selected health measurements recorded during visits.
• Follow updates about what happens to a donation after it is collected.

Who it is best for

This is a focused medical utility rather than a general health tracker. Its value depends on using American Red Cross donation services, so it is most relevant to donors in areas served by the organization. People who donate repeatedly may get the most from appointment management, records, reminders, and progress features such as milestones or badges.

How it compares

Blood Donor has a 4.84/5 rating from 28,708 reviews and has been installed more than 1,000,000 times. Those figures show broad use, but the more useful comparison is what the app actually covers: finding a donation, preparing for the visit, and keeping track of the result. The developer is American Red Cross, which also makes the app’s connection to its donation network clear.
