### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-12-06, version 7.5.2*

Crashes
Not accurate 
A major pain in the butt to use
Seems like no actual pharmacy staff from
Cardinal have ever tried using their own app

### 1/5 — Not Useful At All

*2022-02-22, version 6.0.0*

The latest update from 2/17/22 or version 6.0 made the app worse. After signing in I can’t do anything on the app. It’s like it just freezes and doesn’t respond. When I first got the app in 2019 it worked great but with every update since, it’s gotten worse.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t even work.

*2022-01-08, version 5.5.0*

I would give 0 stars. App hasn’t scanned products for over 3 months. It’s useless to have. Use a computer instead.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-10-21, version 5.0.2*

App doesn’t work since system upgrade 10/14-10/17
Please fix.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-09-27, version 5.0.1*

Ever since the system upgrade on 9/17, my app has not worked. I get logged in, select my account, then it won’t do anything else. I just did the 5.0 update, and that did not fix the issues.

### 2/5 — Scanning bar codes auto sub to other items

*2021-02-18, version 3.3.0*

I’ve sent in complaints to my rep and the OTC rep and rarely are things addressed.  Scan item 5050489 (you can’t tell in app what it’s reading), upload to order express and it’s subbing as 3964483 (which came damaged so had to return anyway).  
Scan items 3972882, 3999620 and they auto sub for leader item 5315262.  
When these auto subs happen, you cannot see in the app that’s it’s going to order something else.  You are just walking your isles and scanning along.  The screen doesn’t show you what’s it’s reading from the bar code unless you select Done after each item.....which would be VERY time consuming. Items in the app should NOT auto sub....unless you have a warning or some sort that alerts the person.

### 2/5 — Locks up consistently

*2021-02-11, version 3.2.0*

This app locks up consistently thereby rendering it nearly useless. As a business owner, systems need to work. This isn’t a game.  This app wastes your time closing and reopening it. 
I expect better Cardinal!

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2021-01-05, version 3.0.0*

New update won't even let me open app anymore

### 1/5 — Junk

*2020-11-05, version 2.5.0*

Spent 3 hours scanning inventory and all of it failed to upload. Kept saying sorry something went wrong. Cardinal should refund my hospital $180 for the hours of work they paid me for.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2020-08-17, version 2.1.0*

Just downloaded an order. For some reason it decided to increase the quantities on items ordered. Order started out at $27000.00 by the time I got done editing it it dropped to $8,900.00. Good thing I was watching

### 1/5 — Start Over

*2020-07-29, version 1.9.0*

Please delete this app and build it from ground up...with different programmers!!!

### 2/5 — Lacking

*2020-07-28, version 1.9.0*

App dose NOT recognize many barcodes....
Takes time to think and process....
Sound for unrecognized items is the same as for recognized ones... not practical!

### 1/5 — Will not load

*2025-07-31, version 9.9.5*

Have to delete and reinstall every time. Otherwise it is just frozen. Very frustrating

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2025-02-21, version 9.9.3*

App very glitch for the past 6 months now every morning I have to delete app and reinstall it cause freezes on me. I wish they would fix this issue

### 1/5 — Terrible update

*2025-02-08, version 9.9.3*

Updated and now app wont work.  Needed to access to place order

### 1/5 — Unacceptable

*2024-10-18*

You would think a multi billion dollar company could make an app that would make counting inventory easy. Cardinal please for gods sake hire new app developers to fix the Ui for inventory tracking. I’m willing to fix or change this review if that is done. Thank you developers please read this. Also I noticed that other people are having the same problem as well.

### 1/5 — i wish it worked

*2023-05-18, version 8.7.1*

have to use for work and i have to consistently delete and redownload it just to log into out account to order for the evening. very irritating we hate order express tbh

### 1/5 — A truly terrible app

*2023-05-08, version 8.7.1*

I have to delete and redownload the app multiple times a day to get it to work, it loads forever, so far the longest it took was 45 minutes to log me in. It also has days where you scan a drug and it says that the drug does not exist, however when you scan the medication on the computer it comes up. It is the worst user interface and somehow get even worse with each update

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2023-04-26, version 8.7.0*

I would almost like to give this app zero stars if it were possible. Always issues logging in. I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall the app just to log in. Then I log in and all of the items that I’m scanning to order are coming up as “item not found”.

### 1/5 — Price check

*2023-04-04, version 8.6.1*

When you log into this program the default is “price check”. I’ve never used this feature because I use this program to order drugs as I’m sure most people do. New hire forgot to check and everything she ordered that morning wasn’t. 
This app is absolutely the worse. Constantly fails us, when trying to log in it just spins and spins. I’ve lost tons of orders when it wouldn’t properly download order to Express.  Complaints go unheard.

### 1/5 — Can search by name?

*2023-02-15, version 8.5.1*

It appears the new version doesn’t allow one to search simply by typing the products name.  Only numbers or scanning a barcode are options…what a disappointment.  Either this is a permanent function change or it turned off some sort of setting on my app.  Either way, the app just lost like 80% of its functionality for me now that I can’t simply search by name.

### 1/5 — Price check

*2023-02-11, version 8.5.1*

When you log into this program the default is “price check”. I’ve never used this feature because I use this program to order drugs as I’m sure most people do. New hire forgot to check and everything she ordered that morning wasn’t.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2022-08-19, version 7.0.0*

Works great. Ive been using it for more than 5 years and never had an issues ever

### 5/5 — Password and Face ID

*2022-04-13, version 6.0.2*

Hi guys
Thanks for the work you are doing. It is a very good addition to OrderExpress. 
Only issue I have is that the app doesn’t seem to use the FaceID consistently.
When I log in manually the app asks if I want to use the FaceID to save the pass but when I open the app the next time I still have to energy the pass manually and it again repeats the whole process of trying to set up the FaceID. 
Not sure what the issue is but should be pretty easy to fix. 
Thanks again

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-12-09, version 5.1.0*

Great for ordering

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2021-10-06, version 5.0.2*

Muy bueno el app para procesar órdenes y verificar precios .

### 5/5 — Convenient and user friendly!

*2021-08-09, version 4.3.0*

Very user friendly, and great for auditing, ordering, and receiving. No issues so far, my team loves the convenience of having a mobile app!

### 5/5 — Very helpful!!

*2020-07-22, version 1.8.0*

I can search for items now and it’s great!

### 4/5 — CSOS signing !

*2025-02-07, version 9.9.3*

Never had a problem with app. Sometimes you have to close app and open app again to allow face scan. Otherwise good job!

### 4/5 — Critical Patch Fixed It!

*2020-02-11, version 1.0.1*

Great concept, but it has to be able upload.  After the patch every is working great, but it’s still too early to give it 5 stars.  Once all the feature work, this will be a game changer for my employees and their ease of ordering.

### 3/5 — Bugs need fixing but helpful

*2025-10-02, version 9.9.5*

Helpful with the new DSCSA requirements but I always have trouble logging in. It always scans my face for Face ID but stays frozen on log in screen. Have to close out app and reopen several times before being able to get into app. Check frequently for app update but never is one.

### 2/5 — Downgrade

*2023-05-03, version 8.7.1*

This app is a disappointment. The old Cardinal app with the red logo was much better just needed a few improvements. This new app is terrible. I’m constantly having to uninstall and reinstall it. Barcodes do not scan properly, it is very slow.
