FIX IT NOW!!!!!!!,

Absolute pain to have to log on. Does not auto fill log details that are saved on my phone. So I have to go in to passwords and even then I have to type in NHS to find details which should already be there. Also another pain in the rear end - I have to go through this ridiculous long tedious process for EVERY notification to find out which of my 5 family members it is for !!!!!!!!! Stupidity designed by monkeys.

Useless

It fails to connect to the Anima app to contact my GP and loses all the information I have typed in every time I minimise it. Not use friendly and very slow.

Can be useful but so hard to get it working

I have used this app a few times, originally it worked however it did crash after an around a minute so I had to get the submission done quickly. Now when I try to use it, it loads a different screen which never actually loads and then won’t let me progress. The idea of the app is very helpful, however this is just a bad app, it doesn’t function well and is more complicated than it needs to be.

Very useful but need better interface

The app is very useful and certainly saves a lot of time for parents and doctors. But the interface needs improving as it can be difficult to navigate. Some pages have no back button so you have to quit to move back. Others don’t align the texts properly. Look forward to seeing improvements in the future.

Improved App is easier to use

This app is a lot better since it keeps you logged in! The past versions were too annoying with embedding the website(?) calling it an app and needing to log in and get text code each time you wanted to open it. It now stays logged in properly, easier to use and can use FaceID etc!
