Needs a Black Theme

Needs a Black/dark Theme or a dark background , it drains the iPad battery super fast

Theme: Dark mode for the user interface

Hi, I know it takes a lot to update an app, and I do appreciate Canto and haiku from epic. There’s one request. Hopefully this can reach you guys that’s very important to all clinicians and providers. And that is the ability to have a dark mode theme or the theme that’s on the laptops and desktops called carbon. That will turn the screen to a dark mode theme which makes it easier on your eyes of providers who are constantly use Canto in haiku. Please bring this feature to the app.

Limited in every way

First, on the haiku app for my phone I can open imaging modalities. However on canto, I can open and review a simple X-ray. The orders tab is atrocious, and you can even review ecgs. Like all the keys basic features I need to do my job is missing.

Extremely disappointing; please enhance with truly practical features for mobile end users.

Extremely disappointing app.

Unbelievable that it does not offer features to filter or organize the display of data of the various tabs with features, such as the chronological order, status, priority, result, date, in the different tabs, such as
Patient call, staff message, results, all reminders, patient advice request.


It misses so much functionality of the desktop. Years later and really no significant enhancements or updates that really facilitate user workflow or try to mimic or capture the desktop experience.

There’s the potential to make this so much better, but it appears there’s no effort to do so.
Do they even vet the users to see what features end users desire?
With the predominantly low ratings from user feedback, it’s a shame that they don’t use the feedback to really incorporate the sensible features end users need and request.
When you dictate something and it still says violation of Siri, on certain windows yet not others
It is really puzzling. please make the necessary changes/updates so that users don’t have to rely upon the desktop only for practical ways to review, respond, and organize results, messages, phone calls.


Also, wouldn’t it be a wonderful app if you could edit your outpatient notes on the iPad, enhancing the Mobile use experience tremendously.
Unfortunately, users are limited to the desktop.

Dark mode

I have been using Cantu for almost 7 years, and what I can tell you is, it’s not bad for a Quick glands and to know what you have going on with your patience.

The one thing that is missing it’s a dark mode. Or a dark theme, which is enabled on the desktops. You have themes in the settings for the iPad, which are aqua green and the standard blue. But a night theme or dark carbon theme is definitely needed for people who use it all the time and have eyes strained because of the back light. Please bring dark mode to Cantu and also haiku.
