### 2/5 — Not enough features

*2026-04-30*

Underpowered compared to website and main app. Unfortunately, the website layout on mobile is atrocious. That leaves us with no way to view additional data on a mobile phone.

### 2/5 — Needs a lot more functionality

*2026-04-12*

You should be able to review tasks, review results, and send prescriptions through the app.

### 1/5 — Too basic

*2026-03-16*

This app is too basic. We need to be able to place blocks on our schedules and it should give us a little indicator of the total patient number on the schedule for that day.

### 1/5 — I wish I didn’t have to use this app

*2025-12-29*

God bless anyone who has to use this application. Every time they update they lose some kind of function unintended. I know they mean well. But the outcome is never as intended. Currently, when you try to add photos to the chart, the app crashes. Which is a bummer because every patient needs multiple pictures added to their chart. When I say my nightly prayers, this development team hits the rotations. Please please make this better.

### 1/5 — Results are a disaster

*2025-11-20*

Unified results are an unmitigated disaster. I can no longer save anything I sign in the results section. Terrible “upgrade. ”
As I write this, I am watching a never-ending “please wait” with a marching status bar. No problems with the internet, just another awful day with ModMed. 
The worst EMR I have ever used. Don’t do it!!!

### 2/5 — Lots of error messages

*2025-11-18*

Constant error messages when trying to login. Face ID doesn’t work. Also would be nice if functionality could be expanded.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-11-12*

Not user friendly, tasks are worthless as you cannot do anything from them and medications are way too many clicks to send a medication. We were sold on these aspects being better and they are way worse.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-11-11, version 7.11.0*

Modmed in general has been horrible for ortho. It is clunky and does not run seamlessly. Avoid.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2025-09-16, version 7.11.0*

Photos never save, there’s so much purple. Nothing stands out. It’s like you’re allowed to use more than one color.

### 2/5 — Dates Wrong

*2025-06-23, version 7.10.0*

The schedule will often show the wrong appointments and be a full day off.  Can lead to arriving at the wrong time….
