  • Used to work but not after recent update

    This is a good application, however after the most recent update it always tells me to update the application to the most recent version which is what I have and it is impossible to log in. Hopefully this bug will be fixed. The iPhone version seems to continue working well.
  • Please Make Results Review More Like Epic

    Good start, but needs attention to fixing the following issues:

    -can't write orders
    -can't see all results at a glance like on desktop
    -needs touchID support
  • Could be so much more

    The low rating is because this app could be so much more useful than it is. It’s stable and faster to get into than remoting in through Citrix, its interface is touch-oriented, and it won’t drain your battery like Citrix… but that’s where the positives end.

    You can’t time mark anything,
    There’s no way to view all lab results at once; you’re stuck selecting from a drop-down box that doesn’t even utilize the entire height of the screen. On my iPad mini, it doesn’t even use half of the screen.
    Reviewing vitals is limited to the last few entries, with no way to go farther back in time.
    You can’t manage orders.
    You can’t write any documentation.

    I use Canto for quickly referencing my notes during rounds, but that’s about it. With the release of the iPad Pro it seems as if Canto could easily be a mobile clinician’s most-used app, but the above limitations and the lack of split-screen support make Canto little more than a tease of what could be.

  • RN

    The In basket function should allow you to access patient calls. The fact that it doesn't makes this useless to most EPIC users. Good idea, but this app is an empty promise. What little it is able to do it does seem to do well, hence the second star
  • Good but a little lacking

    Good and easy to use but would be better if we could access and edit medical student notes.
  • Work in progress

    Overall this is a very helpful app to briefly review a patient's chart or go through your Epic inbox. Certain features are missing, making an addendum to house staff results and pathology results are not available. Also viewing labs is a bit tedious. For these reasons I'm giving this 2 stars.
  • Limited features

    This app allows review of email and results. The schedule feature is too restrictive, with no ability to look at future days. This is limited when one has an iOS device on the weekend and is trying to plan for the week ahead.
    One can't organize email by unread, so the order is jumbled.
    Clearly room to improve

  • Nice app

    This app compliments the EPIC system well. It is easy to navigate and quickly access information. As I use the iPad app primarily while I am on call two additional features would make it 5 stars. One is the ability to place and route telephone notes and second to have the ability to e-scribe.
  • Pretty but not functional

    It does some things well, but it falls way short in clinical application. I care for inpatients with surgical problems. Any application that aims to be useful to me should have the following (which canto does not):
    - the ability to write orders
    - the ability to look at more than just the most recent set of vitals (24 hours at least), perhaps graphed as is done with labs
    - access to ins and outs
    - access to all the notes written during the selected encounter, not just the most recent 3

    An update would be much appreciated, as I think the concept has the potential to radically change the way - and the efficiency with which - I practice.

  • Dr. Popeye

    I was happily using Epic Canto until 2 days ago when I accepted the suggestion to update the app.
    I wish I had not. I agree with the other reviewer that the new version is a bomb!!
    Do NOT upgrade--- it won't work.
    It lets you sign in and looks like it will open and then jumps you out of the application.
    It gets negative stars from me but I can't submit with less than one star.....
    I would love to submit a review to let other slow about this but I cannot b/c there is a bug in the nickname field
