Not open
Saw a family member using & seemed great. Downloaded for myself but the app tells me “not open for new users” so that’s a one-star failure. Don’t know why it’s available on App Store.
Not taking new patients
After giving them my phone number, then app says "Sorry not taking new patients" This should be removed from the App Store if they don't accept new users
Not accepting new patients?!?
That is just wrong. Then why not just remove the app if new patients cannot access this app?
Not available for new users
What the title says - perhaps the developers could update the ‘What’s New’ section so others don’t waste their time as well.
Unable to Use
I saw great reviews about this app and was very excited to use it, as a person with a chronic illness I have recently started to have to go to doctors appointments on my own and they can be overwhelming so this sounded like a great solution to that problem. But when I went to sign up I got a message stating that: “It’s so great to meet you but…unfortunately, Abridge for Patients is currently unavailable for new users.” I am not sure why this is as it seems like other people have recently been able to access and use the app. However, I wish there was some disclaimer in the description for new patients so that they don’t have to go through the disappointment I just did, hope you guys start accepting people soon but I’m deleting the app.

NOT taking new customers.
Unfortunately you cannot use this app as a new customer. Legal issues??
It does what it says ❤️
Very needed service, for any human navigating health care for yourself and others you love and support.
It is essential for chronic illness management, especially when you have more than one medical condition/specialty to coordinate care.
Many medical specialists are not willing to coordinate care with other doctors/specialists.
As a layperson/patient/caregiver, it can become quite difficult to coordinate multiple conditions/doctors/specialists.
As a multiple chronic illness patient who doesn’t always have a companion during appointments, Abridge is the next best thing (probably better).
Currently, there is a waitlist for new users. I’ve had an account for a few years, but have recently had to switch devices a few times.
I had a significant number of appointments recorded and I don’t want to lose that history.
Support has been super friendly and responsive, but in the end, I was advised to start a new account and get on the waitlist.
I’m in limbo trying to restore my account It is associated with a phone number that I can’t currently access.

No transcription
I was really excited for this app based on the description and stellar reviews from other people with chronic illness. I tested it out at home and pretended I was talking to a doctor about hypertension and my current medications. I definitely used medical terminology, but the app said it didn’t find any in my audio. I also thought that it was meant to transcribe the conversation and highlight medical concepts, but I’m not getting any transcription of my audio. Unless I’m missing something, this app does not deliver. Super disappointing.
Edit: I realize now it’s not picking up any audio. It’s definitely a problem with the app and not my phone because Medcorder works fine.

Stopped recording
I just downloaded this app yesterday and had high expectations. Unfortunately I used it for the first time today and it only recorded 5 minutes of my 20 minute conversation with the doctor. During this time I didn’t receive any other calls, had a strong wi-fi connection, and plenty of memory on my phone so not sure why it would stop recording. Disappointed on my first use of the app.

Helpful but has limited functionality
Recording my appointments has been amazing, especially since my limited memory is a chronic issue.
I wish I could export the information, especially as a text file so it could be incorporated into my text-based chronic health journal. The conversations can be shared with another person, but only within the app. I could play the audio and let my phone write it down (voice to text) but this seems like something that is a realistic addition for future versions of this app.
The existing transcription is incomplete (only transcribes subsections of the conversation), and it doesn’t have perfect selection of which sections are the “important” information. The library of medical jargon didn’t recognize about half of the medical terms mentioned during the appointment, so I had to go in and change those manually. I noticed this occurred more often with abbreviations of diagnoses, including diagnoses that were recognized by the app when saying the full name.

It allows me to share with my kids after my visit
Very helpful
My daughter wanted to go to my appointments with me, but she had to work. This app has made it possible for her to know what’s going on. I also have a way of making sure of what the doctor said. Very helpful.
Hard of hearing
This takes a lot of the guesswork out if what I was told. Very good app
Use It!
Lots of doctors appointments can remember them all? Use this app. Most doctors are found in the directory connecting a name the audio notes. Highlighted diagnoses and medications are easy to spot and read. Recorded audio is clear and crisp as if reliving the appointment anywhere you listen to it.
Dr visits
Always very helpful to have a recording of the visit. That way we don’t miss something.
Simply amazing
Don’t do doctors visits without this
10/10 Five Stars!
If you have to see the doctor for any reason I’d recommend this app! So so helpful!
Very good app
Very useful !!
First Question They Ask: “What’s your phone number?”
Installed it. Opened it. Promptly deleted it.
The very first question they asked was, “What’s your phone number?”
I get it. Ostensibly this is a security feature. But it’s not the only way to provide security. It is one of the only ways to get you on their telemarketing lists. And even if that isn’t their intention, it’s easy enough for an employee to download a copy of the phone database and sell it for a few hundred dollars.
Security is best served with options. Use an Authenticator app. Use an email address (and yes, I have disposable email addresses that I make unique for every website and app so I can track to see who has sold my info. And when I get a spam on that email address, it can only have come from one source. So that website or app gets deleted from my life). Or make the user lose their data if they forget their password. We are more than 3 decades into needing to manage passwords. If someone forgets a password, it means they aren’t using a password manager. And they should lose their data. Period.
I need an app like this. But all the one’s I’ve seen ask for a phone. Umber. There is no reason for it other than spam or the devs being too lazy to implement an Authenticator app.
Download ONLY if you are comfortable not only letting this app listen in on a doctor’s visit but you are also OK it potentially letting a drug company selling a new drug target you with direct phone calls. Because that is absolutely a possibility with this set up.

Only wish it would automatically put a date or time if day on it
