### 1/5 — Fascinating

*2026-03-18, version 3.15.3*

I use the application on personal device. It’s amazes me how poorly made this app is. 
The app quits 9 times out of 10 when opening one of it’s notification. Interface is medieval looking and is the farthest thing from intuitive. 
Notifications are a hit or miss. 
Customization is nonexistent.

### 1/5 — Annoying bluetooth reminder

*2026-02-25, version 3.15.3*

The worst thing is the unnecessary and relentless reminder to turn on Bluetooth. I don’t want to use Bluetooth with this app. 
The Developers need to turn this reminder off.

### 1/5 — Needs reworking

*2026-02-22, version 3.15.3*

Cannot mute messages
Cant find chats that are hidden
Badly designed app

### 1/5 — Invasive

*2026-01-14, version 3.15.3*

App should not ask more than once if I want to allow my location to be shared.

### 1/5 — Unusable for calls

*2025-12-01, version 3.15.3*

Unusable for calls due to statics

### 1/5 — Useless. Beyond useless

*2025-11-02, version 3.15.3*

It crashes every other time I sign on requiring a sign on. Has been case for all versions and different iPhones. No way to set Home Screen to send a text, to default to all contacts and not just favorites, and no way to set “all patients” and not just “my patients” which is strange since I have no “my patients” ever. This is among the worst communication apps I’ve used in decades

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-09-16, version 3.15.2*

I have yet to find one function/aspect that works smoothly in this app.

### 2/5 — Works somewhat

*2025-09-09, version 3.15.2*

Better function than paging (I appreciate the ability to text back and forth) but finding a contact is hard. Sometimes the message doesn't pop up until I open my phone which is an issue since I need to get the notification when it is off. One other glitch: for some reason after I downloaded this app, any time I try to push "call" on my most common contact in my iPhone, it defaults to vocera (an app they don't have) instead of a regular phone call. Doesn't happen for anyone else. Now that button to call that contact doesn't work at all. Very strange but it was a glitch that happened after downloading Vocera for work.

### 2/5 — Bad app

*2025-08-12, version 3.15.2*

I don’t understand how it is not possible to change your PIN within the app. I had to call the hospital IT department and they have to put in a ticket with Vocera to get it changed. This is an obvious security risk considering of somebody gets my PIN they can now log into my app and I’m not able to change it. Major security, and HIPPA violation risk.

### 1/5 — Na

*2025-04-14, version 3.15.0*

For some reason it won’t take calls unless the location is on always not just when the app is on. Anyway I hate this thing
