## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Almost useless

*2026-08-10, version 5.0064.0*

App is extremely unreliable and crashes constantly

### 1/5 — It was Covid-19, not Covid-26

*2026-08-10, version 5.0064.0*

Why does this app still ask if I’m under Covid-19 isolation or quarantine orders and links to a page that doesn’t even exist?  Hilarious!  🤣.  Also, it really shouldn’t have to ask if I have a Medicare card for the fiftieth time…

In addition, taking away the ability to cancel or change appointments in the app is a bad regression.  Doesn’t this just increase the burden on receptionists for something that could and should be automated?  It used to have this so why take it away?

### 1/5 — Disappointing hot doc app

*2026-08-09, version 5.0064.0*

Clunky awful app

### 1/5 — No way to recover ignored request

*2026-07-28, version 5.0064.0*

HotDoc takes payment on behalf of doctors for a service that is just ignored by the practitioner. They’re the agent, they’ve inserted themselves as the commission-collecting middleman and yet take no responsibility.

### 1/5 — No Medicare refund on repeat scripts

*2026-07-21, version 5.0063.0*

Beware! If you get repeat scripts from this app you will not get any Medicare refund at all

### 1/5 — Do NOT Book for A Telehealth  Consult or a Medical Certificate especially !!! I booked a medical cer

*2026-06-23*

I booked for a medical certificate that requires a consultation with a GP. I never received a call despite waiting from 9 AM until 12:30 PM. My card was charged for a service I did not receive. I contacted HotDoc, and it took them days to respond. Then, I was charged AGAIN this morning for a service I did not receive at ALL. I reached out to HotDoc, who directed me to call the “clinic.” After multiple calls that went straight to voicemail, I finally spoke to a guy who asked me to go through HotDoc! He even claimed that they called my phone but I did not answer, which is an outright LIE because I was waiting for their call the entire day on FRIDAY! I was given the runaround over my own money for a service I never received! Don’t book unless you want to be scammed! This new service needs to be managed by people, where customers are ONLY CHARGED IF THEY ACTUALLY RECEIVE THE SERVICE!

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback!

Looking forward to hearing from you

### 1/5 — Notifications

*2026-06-08, version 5.0061.0*

Deleted, the notifications are controlled by the clinic you visit, my docs 412yrs young, he had a pet Trex, do you honestly think he knows how to stop notifications and this app doesn’t allow you to request them removed or stop them, could and should be better and more thoughtfully developed.

### 1/5 — Bad recent changes

*2026-05-24, version 5.0060.0*

I hadn’t needed to use the app for a while. But whatever changes they have made over the past 3months are impressively and insultingly awful. The app is so much harder and slower to use now.

### 1/5 — mat

*2026-05-21, version 5.0060.0*

Terrible

### 1/5 — Wait time is about 2 hours

*2026-05-13, version 5.0059.0*

This has happened multiple times where I’ve booked a 15 minute wait for a medical certificate but then it switches to up doc once it’s already booked and takes hours for me to get an appointment

*2026-08-20, version 5.0065.0*

I am very pleased

### 5/5 — Caring and Professional GP’s

*2026-08-20, version 5.0065.0*

The Cannon Hill Family Medical Practice provides caring and professional medical care to their patients. They take the time to follow up on their patient’s medical history before  discussing new issues and prescribing new medications or treatments. The GP’s are only too happy to forward their findings and recommendations to other medical professionals in your care team. Thank you.
