### 1/5 — App Sucks

*2026-01-02, version 65.1.1*

Needs an update and an easier way to navigate
I was trying to find out my payment and couldn’t no matter what I clicked
Had to use the website and decided to delete the useless app!

### 1/5 — Unable to login

*2025-11-28, version 64.1.1*

Constantly asking for me to update password. App is broken

### 1/5 — Nearly useless

*2025-10-29, version 63.1.1*

I don’t think any function of this actually works. Honestly, what is the point of this app if I cannot do anything? Just stuck in a loading loop when you click on anything, then usually crashes.

Still stunningly terrible, years after this initial review.

### 1/5 — You called this updated?

*2025-10-24, version 62.1.1*

I’m trying to logon and all I’m getting is a circle jerk back to my passwords because you keep saying that I’m missing something even though I put in a special character and then you say that these do not match and you have me in a loop which has wasted my time. I will just log into the website. You better go back to the drawing board and redo it from three weeks ago because you still don’t understand what you need to fix.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t open

*2025-10-24, version 62.1.1*

I go to the login screen, press login, app reads my face for ID and doesn’t do anything. I can’t even get into this app even though I have in the past. Something‘s broken.

### 1/5 — App non functional

*2025-10-05, version 62.1.1*

Nothing happens when I attempt to log in. The support link returns a 404

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-07-24, version 60.1.1*

This app is the worst, seriously. Terrible application in its functioning. Whose bright idea was this? You’re fired.

### 1/5 — A simple web app

*2025-07-08, version 59.1.1*

This app simply links back to a website (aka a web app) with limited functionality. For example, you can’t start a claim from this app. Don’t recommend this for any user of HP healthcare.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-07-01, version 58.1.1*

I can access the site on the web but the app doesn’t get past the sign in page. It uses Face ID, accepts the login and then reloads the login page again. Useless.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-06-27, version 58.1.1*

The app used to work well enough for me to check various aspects of my claims and benefits. Now it won’t even log me in. Stick to the website. It’s less convenient, but at least information is accessible.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-06-17, version 57.1.1*

So simply does not work, can’t login using face id or login credentials

### 1/5 — Can’t add card to apple wallet.

*2025-05-02, version 56.1.1*

See title

### 1/5 — Nearly useless

*2025-04-24, version 56.1.1*

I don’t think any function of this actually works. Honestly, what is the point of this app if I cannot do anything? Just stuck in a loading loop when you click on anything, then usually crashes.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-04-23, version 56.1.1*

This app doesn’t work.  Frustrating.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-04-10, version 56.1.1*

How difficult is it to make an app that works nowadays ? 99% of the time it doesn’t neither let me log in

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2025-03-25, version 55.1.1*

Nothing wrong with my account. App just doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Unable to log in to app

*2025-03-18, version 55.1.1*

It’s frustrating that whenever I try to log in to this app that it says there’s an error and to try again later.

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2025-03-14, version 55.1.1*

Won’t let me login to the app - immediately locks my account when signing in successfully

### 1/5 — Slow app with little value

*2025-03-04, version 54.1.1*

This has got to be the SLOWEST app on the market.  The provider search is useless. It never finds anything. Yet perform the identical search on the website, and it finds the provider or facility easily. 
Just use the website and save yourself the frustration.

### 1/5 — Not as useful as the website

*2025-03-03, version 54.1.1*

I'm not sure why, since it seems to just be pulling information from the same place, but this app is basically useless and doesn't do what the website does. It's just basically a set of links to the site, but without many features. For instance, my claims appear on the site but not the app, and I can't use the app to track my deductible usage bar.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Please fix the log in

*2026-07-21, version 72.1.1*

Unable to get past the log-in. Would love to tell you how the rest of the app works but I can’t get into it!

### 1/5 — Barely functional

*2026-06-09, version 70.3.1*

Very rarely do I use an app bad enough to prompt me to write a review. As I’m sure you can guess from the overall star rating, this is one of them. If you’re able to even get the app to allow you to login(big if), once you get to the app dashboard half of the features shown just bring you back to your web browser to repot in AGAIN(once again assuming those buttons are even functional).

### 1/5 — Unacceptable

*2026-05-31, version 70.2.1*

Worse than you hope.

### 1/5 — The app doesn’t even open

*2026-05-23, version 70.2.1*

Can’t get passed your login, what a useless app

### 1/5 — Digital insurance card not adding to Apple wallet

*2026-04-29, version 69.1.1*

The digital insurance card is not adding to the Apple wallet. I click “add” and then go to the Apple wallet and it’s not there.

### 1/5 — Worst app everrrrr

*2026-04-27, version 69.1.1*

I never wrote reviews for apps but this is by far the worst I have seen. It takes forever to load, the MFA setup takes to many tries and is frustrating.

### 1/5 — Horrible. Haven’t been able to use for months now.

*2026-04-25, version 69.1.1*

But my premium is going to increase by 15-20% next fiscal year (July2026) and I can’t even use the app. Asks me if I want to use FaceID to log in- it does its thing, “loads” then brings me back to the same page for FaceID. Garbage app. Overly expensive insurance. At least give us a functional app FFS.

### 1/5 — Unable to login

*2026-02-03, version 66.1.1*

Unable to login- have message saying log on to website and change password. Even after I did that still got the same error.

### 1/5 — Can't even create account on iOS 26

*2026-01-22, version 65.1.1*

It keeps adding a space so the passwords never match. Buggy.

### 1/5 — Terrible. Can't even view PDFs

*2026-01-08, version 65.1.1*

I want to find the formulary for what is covered this year, especially for my kid's medications, because getting hit with a surprise $300 for maintenance meds is unconscionable. Can I find this? NO! Can I view formularies anywhere on the app? NO! At best, I was able to download some gibberish that turned into a PDF in my reader, but another one was broken and would not be viewed that way, either. I can't even see if the claim on insurance for my kid's meds looks weird because when I try to view their claims, I'm not permitted!

This app is as bad as their website.

### 5/5 — App Broken

*2021-05-24*

Please fix your app! When I try to log on, I get an error notice that my device is offline. It is not because I am able to log into other apps just fine. I love this app when it works.

UPDATE:  I received a response from HP and the app has been fixed!  Thank you!

**Developer response:** We’re thrilled to hear you’ve been loving the app. Unfortunately, we had a glitch occur that has since been resolved. We encourage you to please give the app another try and leave a new review if you feel inclined.

### 5/5 — Great Improvements

*2020-10-09*

The new updates to the app are incredible! Everything works smoothly and information is easily accessible. Highly recommended! A+

### 4/5 — Works for me!

*2024-06-22, version 48.1.1*

I'm not sure if they've made a change recently, but the app works for me. I really wasn't expecting it to after reading the horrible reviews. I did have a problem logging in with the password issue the first time.  I called their customer service department and they helped me.  It's been fine ever since.  Maybe try giving them a call?  I didn't have too wait for long to talk to someone and they were quick in helping me get it resolved.

### 4/5 — Good for Everyday Use

*2020-08-21*

Overall, the app is pretty good. They’ve definitely updated it so that it works properly. It has most of the info that I need and being able to get my ID card on here helps at the doctors office. I can find doctors near me - which helps - and look up past visits and meds. I kinda wish there was more, clearer info about my benefits. There’s some, but it’s not as good and hard to read.

### 3/5 — Benefits and remaining deductible

*2021-02-13, version 20.02.037*

The benefit area is not helpful and doesn’t provide details.  My old BCBS app was so detailed with what was remaining with each of the deductibles it was awesome.  HP needs some work to do.

### 3/5 — Good, but Wanting More

*2020-08-21*

It has some nice things to it, but not everything I want in my health app. I can find my doctor, but I can’t really get any info on my coverage or how much my tests will costs. I still need to go online to get a bunch of info.

### 2/5 — Can’t get in to app

*2024-09-24, version 50.2.1*

Not sure what happened, but it scans my face and then nothing happens. I used to be able to get in, but now nothing happens. It’s stuck at the login screen. Help!!

### 2/5 — Insufficient

*2024-05-17, version 36.1.1*

The most basic information is missing from website. 
Ex) Medical insurance card

### 2/5 — Can’t log in

*2022-10-05*

I’m sure it’s a good app, but it won’t let me sign in. I’ve done the basic trouble shooting tips and it’s a bug because I can login on the regular website no problem. It sounds like I’m not the only one with this issue. Quality should come first.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t let me log in. Error message.

*2021-12-03*

Used to work okay with only general info. Now it won’t let me log in at all. Says I don’t have an internet connection (I do). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it still doesn’t work. Frustrating to have to access only on my computer
