What's New in athenaText

Bug Fixes and Stability Changes

User reviews

Clunky

The new version of the app that’s embedded in AthenaOne works well. But the iPhone app doesn’t and never has. You cannot attach a patient chart. While the version in athena one supports groups, the iPhone app doesn’t appear to - I can’t find my groups when I type the group name. And when typing individual recipient names, it often double- enters the name after selecting from matches, then you have to delete the second entry (often a partial name), which sometimes deletes both entries, then you have to start over again. The new version does seem to upload attachments - usually images - faster and more reliably than the old one did.

Response from developer

Hi, Thank you for reaching out. We’d like to clarify that attaching a patient chart is not currently supported in the mobile app. For the issues you mentioned with group search and duplicate recipient entry, we tried replicating the issue in the production environment at our end but unfortunately could not replicate it. To successfully debug and resolve the issue, our team would need your username and practice ID details. It would be very helpful if you could submit a Salesforce case referencing this review, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Lastly, we’re glad to hear that you’re finding the improved attachment upload functionality helpful. Thank you for sharing that positive feedback with us.

Have to sign in everytime you open app

This app used to stay signed in everytime I needed to open it with the occasional re sign in every so often. Now, it requires to sign in everytime you open the app. Not sure what the point of that was as it takes away the convenience of the app and takes time to sign in everytime I need to use the app. Pretty pointless app now since it takes 10 min to sign in bc of verification methods and load times. Revert back to how it was before or just delete the app.
