### 2/5 — Not as good as Telus health

*2026-06-30*

I had tried Lumino multiple times but every time I ended up being ask to go in person and see a walk in or family doctor, including a time I asked for a doctor’s note and another time I asked for a blood test req, both of which I was able to get the support I needed from Telus Health. I don’t recommend it if you want to save time, I ended up wasting more time.

### 1/5 — Can’t get help for an eye irritation infection

*2026-08-12*

This app is absolutely terrible. I want to set up a virtual appointment for an eye irritation. That’s an item that’s listed for virtual help. There is absolutely nowhere in the app where I can book a virtual apt. And there is no one to contact about this stupid app and booking a virtual appointment. What a waste of my Sun Life health benefits. And more importantly, there’s very mixed messaging between using Lumino and Dialog. Happy to chat about this.

**Developer response:** Hello, and thank you for this feedback. We are very sorry that you were unable to access care.

Please reach out to our team by email at luminovc.dialogue.co, we will be able to help make sure you are able to get an appointment. We will be able to answer any questions you might have as well. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Telus Health is much better

*2026-08-01*

This app doesn’t have much availability for consultations and you need to book appointments. They do nothing to actually help, just advise you to visit a walk in. Completely pointless.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry to hear that you had trouble booking your appointment, and accessing care. Our goal is to connect members with the most appropriate care based on their needs, and while this sometimes requires redirections to in-person resources, it should have been made clear why this was needed. Please contact us at sunlife-support@dialogue.co so our team can look into what happened and make sure your health needs are being met.

### 1/5 — Very limited service

*2026-07-24*

It’s good if your employer pays for a good service, if not they basically cannot do anything except talk to someone who is not really qualified

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. The services available can vary depending on the coverage selected by an employer or plan sponsor. If you have any questions about your available services, please contact us at luminovc.dialogue.co and our team will be happy to review your coverage and assist you.

### 1/5 — Headache

*2026-06-13*

Thought of connecting for neurologist but instead connected to a nurse

**Developer response:** Hi, we’re sorry to hear that your experience did not match your expectations, and apologize for any frustration this has caused. Please reach out to sunlife-support@dialogue.co so our team can review your situation and help guide you to the most appropriate care options.

### 1/5 — The worst medical app I've ever used

*2026-05-06*

Use ANY other medical app if you actually want help. Complete waste of time - I have this app free through my employer and will be deleting it, id happily pay for virtual care over wasting anymore time with Lumino. Zero stars

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience, this is not the experience we aim to provide. Please feel free to contact sunlife-support@dialogue.co so our team can review your situation and assist you further.

### 1/5 — Not helpful

*2026-04-22*

I asked for a prescription to treat my perioral dermatitis and occasional acne breakout.  I don’t have an active breakout at the moment so they would not prescribe anything.  So much for preventative medicine. What’s joke!

**Developer response:** Hello, 
We are very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Please contact us at sunlife-support@dialogue.co, and our Clinical Quality team will examine your experience to determine how we might have better supported you.

### 1/5 — Time wasted

*2026-04-07*

Remove the categories where you dont provide any care! Most categories end up directing you to an in person doctor so its absolutely pointless to use this app. They never prescribe urine test, blood test or radiography, which they could do and have results analysed by a doc afterward but won't because they are incompetent, lazy or because its not profitable for them

Update based on developers' copypaste: what is unsafe about a blood test prescription and how is a blood prescription not covered since its something basic even under the public health plan? Just admit that you are underdelivering and WASTING people's time when they want to SAVE time especially while seeking care.

**Developer response:** We are so sorry to hear your experience did not meet your expectations. There will be times when a physical examination is required in order to safely care for you. In those instances, or when the services you require are not included in your coverage, our health care team will refer you to external resources. That being said, we are aware that there is always room for improvement and we are continuously working to expand our scope of practice. If you would like to discuss your experience with our Clinical Quality team, please contact us at sunlife-support@dialogue.co.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2026-03-05, version 5.23.3*

Never helpful, ridiculous wait times, tells me to see a doctor. Complete waste of time. Deleting the app.

### 1/5 — The service is SO BAD !

*2026-03-01, version 5.23.3*

I can’t see a doctor because the nurses tell me EVERY TIME to go see a physical doctor. So no service, this is useless, I had to delete this app. I have allergies and I have a pump who gives me insane migraines, everything’s in my files. They didn’t wanted to help again. So gonna cough again and again.

### 1/5 — Poor quality of service

*2026-02-17, version 5.14.2*

My ticket had been open for 4 days during that time I was told to wait for a call. After getting that call the nurse was unable to help me, while I’m just asking for a for a renewal. Now because I waited 4 days I cannot get my prescription. 

The nurse asked me if I lied about my submission so that I could get the script. Seems pretty unethical.

*2026-07-21*

I can’t download the app on my MacBook. It says it’s only compatible with iPads, iPhones, and strangely, iPods.

### 5/5 — Canada Day consult

*2026-07-01*

Contacted LuminoVC about a skin concern. My account was easy to set up and the appointment was the same day. The nurse practitioner contacted me at the exact time that they said that they would. Appointment took less than 15 minutes and a prescription was sent to my local pharmacy. Very easy and user-friendly.. Would definitely recommend. Also nice that I did not have to go to a walk-in and I could do the virtual appointment from my home.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that setting up your account was easy, you were able to book a same-day appointment, and that your virtual visit was convenient and efficient. It’s wonderful to know you had a positive experience from the comfort of your home. Thank you for your recommendation, we truly appreciate your support!

### 5/5 — Grateful

*2026-06-03*

So thankful to have this option. 
The nurse I spoke to asked enough questions to let me know if I needed to go to the ER, or if booking an appointment would be okay.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re so glad our care team was able to provide guidance and help you make an informed decision about the next steps for your care. We appreciate your trust and are grateful to be part of your healthcare journey.
