I booked an appointment a couple of weeks ahead but I still missed it out because I only received one reminder one week ahead. I would expect another one like 1 or 2 days ahead. 2. I booked an appointment for my daughter. There was a question in the app asking if she was existing patient at the clinic. I picked yes since we always go there. But then the receptionist said she wasn't an existing patient of the GP and insisted that the app asked the question. So I wasted my time waiting there for nothing. ### 5/5 — Service *2026-02-16, version 5.0027.0* Great service, easy to use, quickly booked, a great improvement Thank you Lynda-Rose Venter ### 4/5 — Rating App. *2026-01-25, version 5.0027.0* Easy to follow prompts, having choice of Drs! ### 5/5 — Omar *2025-11-08, version 5.0027.0* One of the best ### 5/5 — Hot doc *2025-09-14, version 5.0027.0* Easy to use ### 5/5 — Easy for bookings *2025-09-10* I’m nearly 70 and hate holding on for someone to answer and we know that can be a while when calling a medical centre. I use the app and it lets me select a perfect time for me to be there rather than tell me on the phone “next appointment is” and I’d rather something other than I recommend this for any of my tech savvy friends ### 3/5 — Appointments don’t always work *2025-09-02* I recently made an appointment.. deemed to work, I then got a in ap notification saying it was canceled bc I didn’t have payment info. BUT I selected pension when I made the ap- bc I’m bulk billed… so I don’t NEED payment info.. and I HAVE payment info in ap in any case! Furthermore .. when I checked the ap- there was two appointments in the ap for the date I made one “modified” “by the clinic” but they were closed (so maybe in ap clinic rules) and another ACTIVE APPOINTMENT… I even got a text message to confirm the appointment- and that link worked. I confirmed my appointment… Then on the day… I didn’t get a Telehealth call. I called the clinic and all they could see was the canceled one. I already waited 6 days for the appointment… now I have to wait another WHOLE WEEK. Can you guys stop changing the name of this ap??? I need this ap to book appointments with my dr… cause THEY have chosen to use this ap. I don’t need to see my dr very often, so I have no need to commit to memory the name of the ap my dr uses… but apparently I do,… I remember this ap as being called Halo… but that doesn’t come up in any search field I’m using… then I tired “health”… nope that didn’t work either. I had to scroll through several pages in. The ap store till I found this ap- I recognised the icon tile, and it’s downloaded.. I dunno… maybe link/imbed some more search terms in the ap. ### 5/5 — Hotdoc *2025-08-29, version 5.0027.0* Excellent app Easy to use Has all the information you need ### 5/5 — Appointment *2025-08-12, version 5.0027.0* Great app. Easy to use. ### 5/5 — Noel *2025-06-17, version 5.0027.0* Simple, easy to use. ## Frequently asked questions about ForHealth ### What does ForHealth do?
