Should be removed from the App Store

Worthless and a waste of time (and taxpayer’s money.) Ten out of ten apps I tried to install were not compatible with my updated iOS of 15+
Just go to va.gov, or a legitimate veteran service organization for help (like DAV or VFW.)

Frustrating

I can’t even download the PTSD AP . I have the new iPhone, states not compatible! Before you guys launch this package of “ so called help” fix, beta before release. We aren’t test dummies

Reeeeeetarded

Just like everything else with the VA.

It's mediocre at best 🤷‍♂️

I've had the app for years, I've never been able to get the "Chat" function to work at all
Refill work ok but that all I've gotten to work
