### 3/5 — DRAGON MEDICAL PLEASE HELP NURSES!

*2020-09-03, version 4.0.6*

The software is like nothing I’ve ever used. Even scribes don’t spell this accurately! 
BUT! when I first began using the software years ago, you could buy the medical dictation app. 
Now - yup about 600-1000$ !!!! Even if you’re ONE NURSE JUST WANTING TO FIND A HACK FOR ARTHRITIS LOL. 

Dragon/Nuance... RNs don’t always work for big hospitals or practices with access to your products for US!
You could do well with nurses. We are beginning to use scribes bc we have lots more documentation now, and in home care, there’s narrative. 
I’ve tried to reach Nuance- no luck for weeks weeks. Months. 
Please - can you open up a free standing version of this such as you used to have. Many people keep their own notes, have unusual practices or other. Myself, I just need something to use on my phone and iPad. Can you help? Thank you so much!!! Kate the nurse. Phone in account.

### 1/5 — No good

*2018-10-07, version 4.0.6*

Unable to use because it doesn’t let u go past institution in profile - whatever u write u get a message ‘ institution is valid, but no systems in configuration’. No way of finding out what this means or how to correct!!!
And for this review - the system has rejected 100 nicknames - including my name and ridiculous words!!!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2018-06-09, version 4.0.6*

Doesn’t work
Can’t register an institution
Pointless

### 1/5 — Requires Institutional Code to Use

*2017-06-11, version 4.0.4*

If you don't have that, don't bother.  It's useless to you.

### 1/5 — Not Free

*2016-04-18, version 3.6.1*

Download only if you have institutional code

### 3/5 — Wanted Feature

*2016-03-09, version 3.6.1*

So far so good, however one feature I would like to see added is the ability to scan patient stickers to auto populate the MRN number to save time. With that added function would greatly improve functionality!!

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time!!

*2013-10-26, version 3.5.0*

Downloaded app and tried to open. Could not get past the screen requiring one to enter institution. I am at a large Level 1 trauma center in Phoenix, and Dragon couldn't find either the hospital or the medical group. Strange since we all use Dragon Medical in the clinics. A complete waste of a download!!

### 2/5 — New version locks up after each single use

*2013-10-21, version 3.5.0*

This app I'm operating system six worked well. But with the new version seven it continues to lock up after each single use I have to this delete it and then re-download it each day. This needs to be fixed obviously

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-09-09, version 3.0.0.50*

I have used it a few times and it's easy to use and great.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2013-07-12, version 3.0.0.50*

I deleted app within seconds of trying to use it because it couldn't locate the facility for whom I work in its search, so I could not go any further with the app, so I deleted it.
