No Push Notifications
There are no push notifications for the Healow app. Because there are no banner notifications from the Healow app, this makes it difficult to keep track of appointments and other important reminders. On my phone, I have banner notifications turned off for most apps. Still, my phone is oversaturated with text and emails from various people, businesses and scams. Any text or emails sent from Healow or my practice often get lost/missed in all the noise. Even worse, if I am late for a telehealth appointment, I do not get any notifications or calls from Healow or my practice. I turned on Healow notifications in my settings, but when I went into the Healow app there are no options for enabling nor controlling notifications. Ideally, the Healow app would give me a notification banner reminding me 1 day before, 1 hour before, at the time of and 5/10 minutes into the appointment. Fixing this simple issue would help Healow’s business clients manage their appointment flow and overall quality of business.Developer Response

I an a type 1 Diabetic and have been using Healow for about 9-10 months now and it was so good and easy to use until one day my refill requests stopped going through. I got the app so i can easily see my health records and refill prescriptions i need in order to live, but the app makes that impossible when it is literally the apps job to let you send refill requests. I would love if i could request refills again and not have to leave rhe app to text 5-6 different doctors in hopes that one of them see my texts or calls before im fully out of insulin. I also see the developers of the app replying and stating they will fix these problems but they havent done a single thing but make the other problems worse. I am still using the app because again i need it to make my life a little easier, so please fix the issues that we are literally sitting here and telling you are issues 🤦🏻♂️Developer Response

Update, August 2024- we are able to log in now but the app only populates with appt dates and old medication. We are unable to see visit summaries or lab results- the very purpose of us having the app. One of the dr office staff said her app has the same issue.
Original review: I was excited to have an EMR app for my elderly mother, both for her to communicate with her medical provider but also as a long distance caretaker myself to monitor her lab results etc. This app has been incredibly frustrating- especially compared to others I’ve used. We set the app up for my mother so she could use it on her own HOWEVER each time we return to this app it’s as if we have to give info as a new user each time- it doesn’t retain her user info apparently. This is completely unacceptable and makes the app way too complicated for people such as the elderly with little experience using electronic apps.Developer Response
