No corrections allowed
I made a mistake and there is no way to fix it! I can’t delete the wrong entry for HCP. I can’t use my primary because I don’t know his email address. The app is useless for me.
Very limited documentation
I was initially impressed with the app. What I didn’t immediately realize is that the document it creates is a very limited document that has NONE of you personal wishes.
The app tells you to click the pencil icon to edit the document and write your own wishes. That icon is nowhere to be found. You’re left with a document that really does nothing but name those you wish to represent you in the event you cannot speak for yourself.
In addition, you cannot list your doctors without listing their email addresses. None of my physicians give out their email address. It’s for their personal/internal usage. Without a list of your doctors, this company can have no direct contact with your doctors. What’s the point of the document?
Lastly, my chosen representatives are required to create an account in order to accept the agreement. I provided their names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses. They don’t need to create an account, or give out more personal information.
I’m disappointed in this company. I closed my account. But, they now have not only my personal information, but much of that on the two people I chose to represent me. Shame on My Directives.

Barebones
Pretty disappointing how limited this app is. There’s only a few things it asks you about and the rest is crap you have to upload as documents. Might as well just have a medical directives folder in your phone files for PDFs.
And the gender options are sadly last millennium. Since this is a MEDICAL app, it should have two gender fields (how you were assigned and how you identify). There’s no way to input intersex; if you’re transgender it doesn’t have a way to input your gender (transgender itself isn’t a gender); no options for gender fluid, non-binary, agender, etc.

Great concept but doesn’t work
I love the idea and it seems to be a good concept but it will not let me upload my PDFs files from OneDrive. I tried three times over two days from two different devices. Same issue. Then I Tried to pull up help but I could not reach anyone. As a result I end up with everything except the very key documents I need so it becomes unusable. Worse, it gives you the impression that it is complete but my ignores the very docs needed to confirm it.
Would have been good if it worked.
Also it automatically sends notes to your contacts telling them they are you contacts. It did not warn me that I did this. A little sneaky and not best practice.

Great app
It gives me piece of mine to know I have all my medical information in one place. No more searching through files to try to find what I need, it’s all here for me or my loved one to easily navigate.
As a health care professional myself
I appreciate the peace of mind I find from My directives. This app makes things simple, and straight forward in my busy schedule. Thank you!
Awesome App
This is an awesome app that takes care of all of the hard questions that no one wants to ask in those tough times.
Great app!
Easy to use and provides great piece of mind - especially now!
Love it!
Thank goodness for this App. I have put all my wishes about my healthcare in a single location that my loved ones can access any time day or night, just in case I am not able to tell them myself. And I’ve selected the people in my life who I want to advocate for me. All this and it’s totally free! Wow!!

Easiest, fastest, way to secure my health data in one place
Love the new updates! I’m able to securely upload my will into my electronic health record by taking a quick photo and uploading it - now I’ll never lose it.
Great, intuitive app!
Very happy with the ease of access. Good updates.
Will not log in
Perfect.
App keeps crashing
I've been unable to log in - I have an account and click on the Log In with Facebook button and it crashes the app before it logs in every time.
Need Help
Everytime I try to add a healthcare agent the app shuts off. I've looked everywhere I can think off for a help email or chat. Can't even find any contact info for the parent company. This was recommended by my local hospital but it's starting to look fraudulent. Please help.
