Tricare doesn’t work
Tricare access on this hasn’t worked in over a year. It doesn't seem like the developers care about this function. They should remove it as an option if they don't plan to actually support it.Where’s the practical value?
I downloaded this app this morning and so far I’m not very impressed. There is just way too much information to be useful and no way to resolve mistakes.
i.e., my pcp and cardiologist both reported a list of medications. (I assume that’s where a lot of the duplicates originated). The list goes on to include a literal ton of single dose meds that were apparently administered during an outpatient surgery I received a few years ago. I took the time to click each toggle indicating their ‘not current’ status but that wasn’t enough to keep them off the test report I exported to myself.
The bottom line is that my small number of current medications were reported in just less than 3 full pages of irrelevant data. Conveying information to a new provider through this app is truly like trying to drink from a firehose.
Another issue are the errors that show up in the original medical records. Naturally you’d expect them to be repeated within the app but wouldn’t it be nice if the user had the ability to make notes to identify such problems as they are discovered. (Yes, I routinely report discrepancies to the various doctors but apparently the corrections didn’t actually find their way into their files.) Part of the appeal of this app is the promise of empowerment. All I see here is a regurgitation of consolidated data. I suppose that it’s better than nothing.
No wonder the medical profession is in a mess.Show lessDeveloper Response
Thank you for taking the time to write this review and offer us your feedback. If you have a lot of data like in your case, you can use the “12 Months” and “6 Months” toggles at the top of the Summary Record to filter your data to these smaller time periods. Further, erroneous data can be flagged by the user to not share with a provider. We will also consider your thoughtful feedback as we continue to improve iBlueButton going forward.Pretty disappointing App
Spent hours trying to make this useful to me. Tried both the IOS and the Android app. Would like to have Tricare record available. On IOS it gets stuck attempting log-in. I doubt it is server access as I have successfully logged in the Tricare 5 different times this AM from my desktop and my Android phone. Some problem with the IOS app. It is now stuck “logging in” no button push to cancel will respond.
On Android I was eventually able to access some data, but not from a download on phone. Had to download xml on desktop, email to my phone, then move xml file into download. Then I created a new profile so I could import the downloaded xml. That gave me data in the profile, but only medications, conditions, and providers.
FAQ are not really helpful. On Android I get stuck on pages and have to quit the app. No back out button.
I am not impressed.Show less
