Garbage

I never review apps, but this one is so bad it inspired me to leave a comment. More than half of the pages never load, finding results and messages are not intuitive, and it’s painfully slow. When you call to reschedule an appointment, the phone message says it’s faster on the app, but I never see that option on my screen. This app is trash.

Terrible

It’s astonishing how bad this app is compared to MyChart. It’s not user friendly, Face ID is pointless because you still have to manually log in, test result data could not be more difficult to sift through, there’s no tracking of current admission info like meds given etc. Hey developers, go check out MyChart with to see how a useful hospital app should function.

Not convenient

I really had hopes for this app. I do not recommended this app to anyone. The app always freezes. When I log in it takes me to a blank page. When I am trying to see doctors notes, the app doesn't let me click it. The most recent update added face ID and it don't even work. I still have to put my info to log in. I tried check the time of the appointment in the app and it wouldn't let me log in and I lost my appointment that day. It is way easier to just call the hospital, office than to try and use the app . It is not convenient at all, sometimes I have a question and I can't even message the doctor because the app never works!!

Can even open the app

I downloaded it, there’s no where to log in - nothing. It’s just an error screen and no tabs, buttons or menu. Just a refresh button that does nothing.

Spinning

All the sudden I can’t sign in to my account. It just spins around and says loading then doesn't do anything. I wanna be able to see my appointments

Frustrating

This app is so frustrating to use. I can never use the pre check in feature and I can never see upcoming visits in details so that I can add them to my calendar with all the info. I also can never request or schedule another visit as the page keeps loading or gives me an error message. Compared to Mychart and patient gateway this app is junk!

App is awful.

Always freezes or doesn't load, have to uninstall & reinstall constantly. Drs do not answer.... it's an awful way to communicate about sick kids!

Terrible user experience

For an app that is down AT LEAST once a week, how can it not be better than it is? I have never seen another log in system that is offline for maintenance as much as this. You will click and it will bring you to blank screens. You will click and it just won’t open up to what you are trying to access. I have seen no improvements over the past year, for as much as it is offline

This app is frustrating

You would think one of the best childrens hospitals in the world would have a better app. The app is clunky and freezes consistently or will show the load screen forever and never proceed to the next page. I’m not able to print out itemized receipts anywhere for FSA purposes which is frustrating. And when I call and waste time waiting in a queue, I’m reminded repeatedly to use the app. But the app messenger is difficult to access at and I’ve had countless messages be ignored by the staff.

The most frustrating thing is how seamless patient gateway as a healthcare app is in comparison. I can do everything on patient gateway and wish there was a way to import Childrens hospital’s profiles onto that interface because of how much better it is. Please make this app better!

Worst app ever

So frustrating and not helpful at all! Not easy to navigate. Can never find what I’m looking for bust most importantly every time I log in there’s a glitch where it just shows a jumble of run on computer code and cannot see anything else. MGH patient gateway and lahey MyChart so much more user friendly and very easy to navigate.

Needs to be redone!!

This app is unnecessarily confusing. When I go into the app looking just for a weight or height I’m spending more than ten mins trying to find it. It’s absolutely ridiculous why this app is so unorganized they really need to redo this app to make it easier for parents to get something so simple.

Why release such an excuse of an app?

I understand that making the information of thousands of patients available through an app while keeping it secure can’t be easy, but why release such an incomplete app when it’s identical to the desktop/browser version? It hardly ever works. Lately when I log in, I only see a blank page. Have tried deleting the app and reinstalling but no luck.

Save yourself the trouble and instead save a bookmark to your app Home Screen.

Please improve this app

Very difficult to log in. The app does not remember passwords or iD
Once I write my password, it takes me back to the blue initial screen and have to log in again or close the app and restart it all over again
I cannot see lab test results
I cannot reply to doctors messages, I have to start a new conversation
Very bad app, please make it better
Thanks

Frustratingly Inconsistent

This could be a great app, but far too often there are instances of pages not loading fully (or at all) and screens not full scrollable, so you can’t reach and click on certain links or buttons. Also, no back arrow is available meaning you get stuck on a page and have to close and log back in. Another issue - the app does not offer or seem able to save log in information. Just sticking to the desktop version at this point.
