Description:
“Volunteer for your favorite nonprofits – on-demand and on-the-spot”
Sitting at the airport? Waiting for the dentist? Friend late to lunch? These are all moments in which you can support your favorite cause. Just pull out your phone, fire up the app and you can do real work for real non-profits right there, on-demand and on-the-spot.
With 60-hour workweeks, school, errands, and everything else, most of us don’t have hours-long blocks of time to do traditional volunteering. However, we do have a few minutes free here and there. With The Extraordinaries, you can use this spare time constructively for science, art, medicine, government, and more.
Got a Few Minutes Free? Be Extraordinary!

I'm part of the team that wrote this application, so of course I think it's great! We're just beginning here - much more to come. If you love a nonprofit, or work for a nonprofit, or have a cause that needs more support, please contact us and we'd love to work with you to figure out how to make this application suit your needs. We're hoping we can change the world a few minutes at a time - with our iPhones. So, would love to hear your ideas, critique, and feedback. It only gets better from here. Thanks. - Ben Rigby

Simple way to help out

I know it isn't much, but if there is truly a need, I'm happy to tag photos while waiting around. Overall, a great concept executed very well, ad will only get better in the future with more non-profits and features.

Love it - will change the way we participate

Have been watching the app and the Extraordinaries for a while now and this app is going to change we think about participating with organizations for good causes, volunteering, and being engaged in the world around us. Who says I can only volunteer by going to some charity's office? I can do it anywhere, anytime, on my time, all the time. Loving this!
Amazing app

Great app for good cause. It can be expanded a lot though. I submitted a few ideas to the developers. People, please suggest to your friends and also give feedback to these guys.
Ground Breaking

This really looks to be the next big thing in volunteering. I think that everyone would agree that there are some features that need to be added, but all in all this is incredible
Great

A super way to make a collaborative effort.
Necessary addition: ability to view images fullscreen, and/or have zoom capability. At the moment, you're shown a tiny thumbnail and told to write what you see... I can barely see anything in such a tiny photo.

Will get even cooler as more non-profits are added to it. I see it has already grown a lot since I first downloaded it!

Lacks Variety 
By: WadeFL - Jul 12, 2009
Version: 1.0
Very cool concept, but you're pretty much limited to simply tagging photos for museums. Gets extremely tedious and mundane after about 3 minutes. This app would be worthwhile if greater variety was offered, but as it is, it's rather uninspiring.
A little less rhetoric 
By: Coralina - Apr 21, 2009

Just to add a little more description to what this application (currently) does - it has you viewing various photographs and adding tags to it. For example, you might see a picture of a baseball player and you could tag it with the team name based on the uniform, etc. Or a picture of someone at the beach could be tagged: ocean, waves, swimsuit... You get the idea.
As that's the only thing you can do at the moment, it seems alright if you're wanting to do something that theoretically might tip your kharmic balance for the day.
