### 1/5 — Great company terrible app

*2024-11-13*

This is the worst absolute app to have at all. If you don’t open it periodically like once a week it forces you to login again with the password, which isn’t an issue but half of the time you enter the correct password and it still locks you out, forces you to reset it and then gives the message cannot change the same password to the same password. You cannot use Face ID like I said longer then a week or two after you set it up and don’t login in for a minute.

### 1/5 — Makes Me Sick

*2024-08-09*

The constant password change requirement makes this app a royal pain. How often do you think people need to look at their health insurance app anyway?  Seems like I have to change the password each and every time I want to access my information. Then, once in, it’s a crapshoot as to whether or not any detail is available on a claim. Usually there is not. This app has gotten progressively worse instead of better.

### 1/5 — Not reliable

*2024-07-24*

Still doesn’t work! Constantly have to resubmit login and create a new account every time you attempt to login! Please fix this!

### 1/5 — Crashes too much

*2024-06-20*

The app crashes every 5 to 10 mins and does not stay logged in even after checking off the remember me box. Cannot search for providers because the app crashes too much. All the $$$ we pay and the company can’t provide a reliable app. I will be changing my family dental insurance this fall!

### 1/5 — Frustration

*2024-02-24*

It just spins and spins. And spins.   My only hope is that they’re building a brand new app which is why they’re ignoring this one. We switched from Standard to High Option coverage this year, but unfortunately the app is the same. Sigh.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2024-02-08*

Can’t log in. Even when creating a ‘new account’ (when I just made an account already) I get an error.

### 5/5 — Easy to use app

*2024-01-29*

I am so pleased with the easier to use GEHA app.  Many thanks to the changes and thanks to the technicians making it easier.

### 2/5 — Don’t waste

*2024-01-10*

Any memory or time downloading this. Save your time with web log in.

### 1/5 — Can Never Log In W/O an Issue

*2024-01-04*

I have been a member for years. It used to be a message about API but I knew I could wait a few hours and try again. Now the connection says can’t connect to server…all day! 

More importantly what happened to FaceID because now I have to keep figuring out which of the many passwords I’ve had to save for the various GEHA platforms is used for the app. Please fix it!

### 1/5 — Ridiculously terrible app

*2024-01-04*

The app crashes every single time I try to log in. I’ve deleted it and reinstalled. Still no dice. I see I’m not the only person with this issue. What gives? And why is the only response from the “developer” is to say to a handful of reviewers that they can’t access before the policy is active. Why doesn’t the “developer” address the hoards of other reviewers, like me? 
My policy is active. 
Please fix this app so it can be used.
