User reviews

they made it worse?!

the app was already horrible to use--sounding off continuously and refusing to shut
up while 'updating' itself, then beeping again as you try to actually view the message. Now it just keeps alerting despite actually viewing rhe messages. cannot end the 'new message visual alert over the icon without actually deleting the message. what a piece of garbage!

Awful

Seems like the only time I get pages consistently is when Iโ€™m not on call. Absolutely awful. And it has no ability to set page forwarding or any other useful thing. Looks like they made a proof of concept app in 2003 then never improved it. Truly awful.

Broken App

I am required to use this app for work or else I would not use at all. It is the only app on my phone that regularly does not work. I upgrade to new iPhones on an annual or every other year basis and yet the problems are always the same across devices. I get randomly logged out of the app and it stops working, I answer that I have seen the page but it keeps beeping over and over, the app closes as soon as it opens and needs to be reinstalled entirely. Unsure why these issues happen repeatedly and thereโ€™s no solution.

Beyond Terrible -Well Beyond

Recently upgraded to a new phone, but the log in information did not transfer over and the app wouldnโ€™t let me login no matter how I tried. Oddly the app would still notify me of an incoming page but I couldnโ€™t open the app to see the message or even turn off the repeating alerts. Called their technical support and the assistant was the rudest most unpleasant person. She was completely unhelpful and when I indicated that the app was less than satisfactory she said โ€œIf you donโ€™t like the app then you should delete it from your phoneโ€. Iโ€™m hoping Spok goes out of business so that my hospital is forced to find an alternative.

Apple Watch

Sad to see I no longer get the app on my Apple Watch like I use to. It was nice not having to carry my phone all over my house when Iโ€™m on call. The critical alerts alerted my Apple Watch. No longer the case and back to carrying my phone all over the house.
