### 4/5 — Rating App.

*2026-01-25, version 5.0027.0*

Easy to follow prompts, having choice of Drs!

### 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.

### 4/5 — Kaylene

*2025-03-16, version 5.0027.0*

I do find this a good way to book in with the doctor . 
It is incorrectly telling me that this is my first appointment, go to reception. but it is not my first appointment!! 
 
The nickname comes up 90% of the time as this nickname is taken !! 
Can’t submit until you add one !! 

Thank you

Great & very efficient & easy to use. ✅✅.

### 5/5 — Booking doctors appointments

*2024-06-13, version 5.0027.0*

This app is so easy to use. I have found it to be excellent for booking appointments with my doctor as the clinic I attend is very busy and waiting times can be lengthy.

### 5/5 — Ms

*2024-05-29, version 5.0027.0*

Very good easy to book for an appointment. Quicker !

Very easy and quick to use

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Booked using hot doc and it wasn’t booked

*2024-04-07*

I booked an appointment when leaving the practice, then got home and booked using hot doc for my mother the appointment slot after mine so we could go together to the doctor for the flu shots. It was confirmed. We turn up and then there’s no second appointment booked, not at our time or any time, nothing! We were seen straight away then after we got seen, I logged into the hot doc app and showed the secretary the second appointment we had booked! Still nothing!

### 1/5 — Poor App

*2024-02-09, version 5.0008.0*

This app says it is my first time going to this doctor. I have been there at least 20 times, using the app each time to book.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-10-09, version 3.0017.0*

Won’t allow all bookings. No body answers the phone. Pointless app

### 1/5 — Gaille Newton

*2023-07-23, version 3.0017.0*

I have been going to this practice for many years and used this app a few times, so to get a welcome letter commenting on this being my first visit is rather insulting.

### 1/5 — Account information

*2023-05-15, version 3.0017.0*

Terrible to have to add your account information for billing or else you cannot book and confirm an appointment. Fix this- this should be optional not mandatory.

### 1/5 — Walkin’s see doctor quickly

*2022-11-16, version 3.0017.0*

The waiting time even with an appointment is too long. I waited 2 1/2 hours. My doctor had appointments and next available patients. I’m sorry but your system isn’t working. You should have doctors taking walk ins only so it doesn’t affect the people that make appointments and had to wait 2 weeks to see their doctor. We are better off just walking in.

### 1/5 — Christine winter

*2022-02-04*

This practice has no customer service I have spent more than 2 hours on wait booked & confirmed two appointments for 3/2/22  which did not happen then another 45 minutes to make one for 4/2/22 which I confirmed & requested a call back from the practice manager which also did not happen. I am totally disgusted with the lack of professionalism & empathy after explaining I am unable to come due to being sole carer for dementia patient who cannot be left alone.
I would appreciate a response ASAP 
Regards 
Christine Winter

### 2/5 — Needs polishing

*2026-06-22*

1. 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.

### 2/5 — 2 issues

*2025-03-13*

My Covid booster booking via the app a couple of weeks ago:
1. Booked using the app well beforehand 
2. Responded to the following  confirm request message 
3. Attended on time and checked in at reception then assigned a  seat outside doctor 
4. waited 40   Minutes as 5 patients came and went, walked to desk and confirmed my attendance 
5. Approached doctor at door and she checked to explain there is no record of my appointment on her list.
The system failed me. But she fitted me in thankfully.

Now - today
Just booked appointment with my regular doctor for a double appointment.
I selected existing patient but the app  at the end message confirmed me as a new patient requesting a 15 minute earlier attendance for paperwork as a newcomer 

I did select existing patient. I’ve used the app a few times so am familiar with the system 

Cheers, 
Colin

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

### 5/5 — Hotdoc

*2025-08-29, version 5.0027.0*

Excellent app Easy to use Has all the information you need

### 5/5 — Appointment

### 5/5 — Absolutely love this app

*2025-02-25, version 5.0027.0*

Easy to use, great to have time to check the diary before selecting the time, great to see the list of doctors and the times they are available.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-02-19, version 5.0027.0*

It’s easy to understand

### 5/5 — Mr John Nagle

*2024-12-03, version 5.0027.0*

Great app, always been the most accurate and helpful of booking aid, keeping in mind it will not make the doctor ring you at the appointment time but  then it doesn’t come with a magic wand.
