Now it won't even launch. This is an important work app for me so I need this fixed ASAP ### 1/5 — Buggy, frequent crashes *2015-05-23* This latest update is very buggy and crashing often. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2014-12-12, version 8.1.7.1* Never works. ### 1/5 — No big quantum leap *2014-04-11, version 8.1.2* No better than earlier version in terms of functionality. Can t see where Dev worked with MD s to enhance app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Patient keeper review *2025-05-15* I agree. Since the last update, the app is unusable. I’ve had to delete the app and re-add it several times and I usually cannot get it to sync. The next time I delete, it will probably be my last time. ### 1/5 — Useless *2018-01-17* Slow load times. Billing days are always “out of configured range.” No way for me to configure the range. Why bother? ### 1/5 — Great idea, poor execution *2017-12-19* Every update for iOS has been a problem. This needs to be much more reliable to use in a clinical practice. ### 1/5 — Crashes!! *2017-04-17, version 8.2.0* Latest update today (4/17/17) causes app to crash on login! ### 1/5 — Disgrace *2016-11-18* Constantly crashes. I have lost data numerous times. Utter disgrace. ### 1/5 — Crashes CONSTANTLY at login. Overall USELESS *2016-07-10* If it every worked without continuously deleting and reinstalling, it might be marginally useful. The few times it stays open past login, it shows glimmers of potential but it is clear that no clinicians were involved in its design. Would go back to drawing board or, at the very least, fix crashing bugs. Negative stars for now. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2016-06-01* Can't get passed the login screen. Spins forever. Nobody uses it at my hospital. ### 1/5 — Recent update *2016-04-06* Recent update is horrible!! Can't arrange patients by rooms. Only "default" and by name.. Come on! ### 1/5 — Still crashes *2015-10-24* Crashes after logging in every time. ### 1/5 — Still not fixed *2015-10-23* Good-looking app that could cut down on some of my daily work, but it fails more often than it works. If I want to use it, I literally have to uninstall and reinstall at least once daily. Otherwise I get an "invalid database" alert. Disappointing that the most recent update hasn't addressed this. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 4/5 — Access to Clinical data *2017-05-02* This is a good app to view clinical data. It is user friendly and smart. A little slow to sync and load though. ### 4/5 — use this every day *2016-11-04* wish it would refresh faster. allow to enter patients from non hca hospitals easier as well ### 4/5 — Very good app *2014-09-23* I use it everyday. Hard to get by without it. Now that IO8 is out and 3rd party apps are allow to fingerprint for security. This would be awesome to be able to utilize fingerprint instead of passwords. ### 3/5 — Much better than previous versions *2017-01-12* Still a little slow for order entry but not as many issues as other versions. ### 2/5 — Flawed *2019-01-03* Where are microbiology results?? ### 2/5 — Fails to synchronize; error messages *2017-08-13* Fails to initiate synchronization more often than prior versions. ### 2/5 — Still Slowwww *2014-10-17* The new PK 8 looks nicer but still takes forever to sync. Comparing it to the other services we use w different EMRs, this remains unusable with its current speed!!!!
