### 1/5 — No hospital found

*2025-09-12*

I tried several major hospitals in New York City and I always get no hospital found

### 1/5 — No Hospitals Found

*2025-05-08*

The idea of this app is great, and would love it if it worked. However, when I searched a 100 mile radius, which should have included over 50 hospitals, just said No hospitals found. Tried a 10 mile radius, still no hospitals. I am deleting the app.

### 5/5 — Very useful!

*2021-10-24*

Super helpful to find an urgent care and see what services they offer! You may not see a wait time, but that’s because it relies on user input for wait times, like Waze or Gas Monkey, so enter your times when you go in.

### 5/5 — Easy reliable patient care!

*2021-10-24*

Super user friendly and very inclusive app! Similar to Waze and gas buddy, meaning real time info based on real user input that report accurate wait times! Very reliable and helpful when you need it most
