User reviews

New release solves previous issues

We have several hundred providers using the app. Very pleased to report Startel has solved the issues that were reported by other users.

No copy paste

Agree with other reviewers. I’ve always copied and pasted the number into a dialer to conceal my number. Now I can’t with the latest version. I’ll be following up with our answering service on finding an alternative.

Why

This was not a spectacular app to begin with. The most recent update made it look better, especially in dark mode, but now there’s no ability to copy and paste! So if I want to privately call a patient back, my only choice is to manually enter the number, which takes even longer because content is hidden when switching between apps. Tapping the phone number link only lets you use Phone app to call and doesn’t allow you to set the call from your office. I just don’t know why these basic functions aren’t available. And that’s not even getting to bugs like new message flags not going away until you delete the message.

Can’t copy paste

Used to be good. Had the option to copy the phone number and paste it into doximity to make the call from there. With the update, can’t copy anymore.

Copy gone

Pretty much a disaster. As others noted, you can no longer copy from the screen. This is extremely inconvenient since I don't return calls directly from my phone but use another app that displays my office number instead of my personal one.
