### 1/5 — Payment

*2026-05-04, version 5.0.1*

Can I use my debit card to pay? I don’t have a credit card.

### 1/5 — Poor timing

*2026-03-21, version 5.0.1*

Whatever waiting time it tell’s you increase that by 3-4 times . Very freaking inaccurate

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2026-02-26, version 5.0.1*

If the estimated waiting times are completely unreliable, why bother?

### 1/5 — “This app has been designed…”

*2025-10-13, version 5.0.1*

There doesn’t seem to be any design either developmentally or on UX here. The choices in this app appear to be what was technically easy to implement and maintain, without an understanding of PEOPLE – not AHS employees or politicians – who need it.

### 1/5 — Useless App

*2024-09-23, version 5.0.1*

Actually gives very little information. Information that can be found by Googling it. Garbage😡

### 3/5 — It has it’s uses but wait times are not accurate

*2024-05-27, version 4.4.0*

The app itself offers a lot of basic information and provides sufficient answers and resources related to what one would expect but we just drove 40 minutes to one of the facilities based on the wait time shown only to be told that it’s actually 3 or 4 times the wait. More than obvious that wait times are based on so many different factors, so maybe those should be considered. 

AHC itself and its leadership hasn’t improved in years but needs to before it’s too late

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-06-20, version 4.1.0*

When making this app complicated and useless?

### 1/5 — What a joke.

*2023-02-17, version 4.1.0*

I’d have this app 0 stars if possible. Glad to see tax dollars well spent.

### 1/5 — This is just a joke

*2022-12-14, version 4.0.4*

This is just a joke to call this “an app” in 2022. Make it useful good working app and add a connection to Apple Health. Those guys already know how to manage it in the best way, so just give me an option to put my data in there.

### 1/5 — Waist of time

*2022-06-10, version 3.1.2*

I downloaded it and it doesn’t even open
