User reviews

Awful app

Horrible UI, horrible audio — a child can Vibe Code something better than this in an afternoon. Can’t wait to be done with this garbage app.

Worse than an old school pager

In an era when one can become overwhelmed by customization options, Spok distinguishes itself by giving its user very few options. The system is not intuitive, and the help options are worse. It’s not clear to me why anyone would choose this service over other options on the market.

Not reliable

App alerted but crashes on startup

Completely useless

I miss pages with this app all the time. It is absolutely a danger to patient safety. The other week, there was a code at my facility and nobody’s pager went off. It’s telling that no one from Spok is replying to any of these review reviews, they could clearly not care less.

Glitches more than works

Used for 3 years, half the time alerts for things that aren’t supposed to and the other half I click and it doesn’t open. I don’t understand why have an app that can’t consistently work?
