### 3/5 — Doesn’t list pharmacy

*2026-08-26, version iOS 7.6.5*

Doesn’t list pharmacy

### 3/5 — Family Accounts don’t work well

*2026-08-24, version iOS 7.6.5*

I enjoy the UX for the doctor visits, but the unification of my account and me managing my son’s account has never worked.

### 2/5 — Avoid if you can

*2026-08-24, version iOS 7.6.5*

If you can get away with not using this app, avoid it. 

The interfaces are cluttered and clunky, and somehow they manage to provide too much information and also not enough?
I did successfully send a message to a provider but the response was provided via email and text, which I can’t respond to. So I would have to draft a completely new message and hope whoever is on the other end has access to my message history. 
Billing statements show conflicting totals (if you can view them at all). 
You are also going to be spammed with notifications about every little thing. I’m talking multiple push notifications, emails and text messages, with seemingly no way to modify the settings at all. 
Honestly the whole experience feels a bit sketchy. It’s giving vibe coded, and I don’t love the idea of this service having all of my health and personal info. Unfortunately with it now being the only patient “portal” available for my provider, I guess I’m stuck with it. But if I have to choose between using the app and calling the office, I’ll call the office.

### 3/5 — Just OK

*2026-08-24, version iOS 7.6.5*

I like Mychart better. I can’t figure out how to change the dosage on one of my medication’s. It wasn’t updated during my visit.

### 2/5 — Glitchy and Lack of Features

*2026-08-24, version iOS 7.6.5*

I have had multiple issues with links within the app not working properly.  There is also not a way to cancel/reschedule an appointment via the app. This may be on the provider side, but it definitely limits the apps value.

### 2/5 — Harlow

*2026-08-21, version 7.6.4*

This app will not go full screen making it difficult to read.  It is very frustrating.

### 3/5 — Difficult

*2026-08-21, version 7.6.4*

3

### 2/5 — Hasn’t worked properly from day one

*2026-08-20, version 7.6.4*

This app would make life so much easier if it actually worked. There’s a notification on the ‘Visits’ tab and when I click on it to look at my upcoming appointments, it says I have no portal accounts linked even tho I see messages from my doctor’s office. Speaking of messages, I try to open them and get nothing but loading ring

### 2/5 — Flop on editing

*2026-08-20, version 7.6.4*

Every time I tried to edit/update personal information, for example emergency contact, I could never move on to the next page and I would have to start over. It was very frustrating and made me not want to even attempt editing or adding on to later subjects like medications.

### 4/5 — Lisa

*2026-08-19, version 7.6.4*

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2026-08-26, version iOS 7.6.5*

As soon as I downloaded the app voice command was turned on and I could not get Siri to turn it off because she said it was already off🤔 I had to turn off the internet on my phone then delete the app for my phone to resume normal functioning.

### 1/5 — So frustrating

*2026-08-25, version iOS 7.6.5*

My doctors have been using this app for years and it has never improved. It’s so hard to navigate and is always having issues. It goes back and forth from the app to the website, makes you create a brand new password every time an account is added, doesn’t give you autonomy to maneuver your own accounts, and has no organization when you have multiple practices on your account. I wish my doctors would use something other than Healow. It’s a pain in my side daily.

### 1/5 — Patient

*2026-08-24, version iOS 7.6.5*

Cannot access more than one Dr Ofc.   Can only have one Dr ofc

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work well

*2026-08-24, version iOS 7.6.5*

Trying to reschedule an appointment is Impossible. Cannot select a location. 
Much worse than prior to the “upgrade”.

### 1/5 — Non-functional

*2026-08-24, version iOS 7.6.5*

The app is largely non functional and many things that should be clickable, are not. I’ve linked the provider office and when I click on anything at the top wheel, it says I must like a portal account. Ok, I thought I just did but fine. I link it again, it wants me to find the doctor, which I do with no issues. However, when I go to click on the doctor name…nothing. It doesn’t let you click on any doctor’s name. This app is useless and does not work. I called the provider and rescheduled the appointment in a couple of minutes.

### 1/5 — Endless Circle

*2026-08-24, version iOS 7.6.5*

Logging into the app gets me nowhere. I sign into the app which redirects me to the practice website which redirects me to the app which redirects me to the website which redirects me to the app which redirects me to the website… and there’s no one to call for support.

### 1/5 — Client

*2026-08-23, version iOS 7.6.5*

Nothing works properly for me. I can’t check in early nor do my edits of information save when I’ve attempted to change them. I’m required to have this and it doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-08-22, version iOS 7.6.5*

I’m constantly being sent back and forth from the app to talkiatry. What is the point of having an app! I can’t even view my billing statements. Just back and forth bt website and app bc one thing can’t be shown so you have to go to the other.

### 1/5 — 08/17/2026

*2026-08-21, version 7.6.4*

I have NEVER gotten your site to work. There is always an issue while trying to log on to your system. It continually reads server error. Why bother using this app ?

### 1/5 — Confusing

*2026-08-20, version 7.6.4*

Choosing provider/facility confusing

### 5/5 — Worst app I ever use

*2026-08-22, version iOS 7.6.5*

Trying to search for your doctor good luck with that! Spent two weeks trying to figure out this cryptic practice code that you cannot search my phone number or address or the doctor name return thousands and you have no keyboard search, functionality, browsing, losing my spot finally fine something close to it and you can’t click on it or worse app ever ever

### 5/5 — Simple and Convenient

*2026-08-19, version 7.6.4*
