### 5/5 — Fantastic app for secure low bandwidth video meetings

*2023-02-14*

I’ve used VSee (at no cost) for many years (at least 11 years) to run sessions with clients. Originally as a secure and low bandwidth alternative to Skype, which I found was necessary living in a remote island location off the coast of Panama. It requires a lot less data throughput making it ideal for low bandwidth internet connections. It’s also end to end encrypted and HIPAA compliant. Better than Zoom in that regard, which requires buying a special health care license.

I’m my 11 years with VSee, I’ve not experienced the reliability issues I see some people complaining about in the reviews. Perhaps that was an issue with a past iPad version? I’ve used the iPad app today for the first time, for a 2 hour video call, and it worked great. All my other experience with it has been on the macOS version.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback and 5-star rating. We hope to continue providing excellent service and have more features added for our users. Feel free to reach out to us at help@vsee.com for any other feedback or suggestions you may have.

### 2/5 — Unpredictable and dated

*2022-07-17, version 4.14.0*

It would be helpful if you could blur your background for your calls. The system when you are in An appointment can be intermittent. Someone is often dropping off the call and so you can miss most of the appointment. I then go back to using Skype

### 1/5 — Horrible quality for a medical app

*2022-03-30*

Constant freezing and crashing. There’s been times I’ve wasted my entire session trying to connect to my clinician. They also purge text messages when they feel like it and if you want to see your previous chats, charge you personally 150$ an hour for their time.

**Developer response:** Hi, We're so sorry to hear about your experience. We would like to help. Please reach out to us at help@vsee.com to open a ticket. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Works perfectly for me!!

*2021-10-25*

Has been a God send during the pandemic.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your review. Please feel free to reach us at help@vsee.com if you need further assistance.

### 1/5 — STILL doesn't work after months

*2021-03-25*

Months ago I had problems with VSee and spent hours trying to correct it only to give up in frustration when customer service couldn't help me without asking for my password and asking me to drop security on my internet. At my provider's request, I tried again today. Updated my password, can login on the website. Downloaded the app. Couldn't login. Powered down, then restarted my device. Still couldn't login. I repeatedly get the "Connecting" screen, but it just circles forever. Won't spend hours on this again.

**Developer response:** Hello. Thanks for letting us know about your concern. If you have the time, please provide further information here so that we can discuss more and assist you with the problem you had, https://help.vsee.com/new-ticket. Many thanks and looking forward to hearing from you.

### 5/5 — Worked like a charm. No problems whatsoever

*2021-01-21*

Immediately opened. Great visual and audio. As above, no problem, glitches, at all.

### 1/5 — Does not multitask

*2021-01-17*

If developers are seeing this review can you please work on multitasking? When I am on a call on VSee on my iPad and I want to check my emails at the same time with split screen the camera freezes. This is unacceptable in 2021 for an IPad Pro and an application that’s meant to be for professionals. What if I want to share information with my client or check my email or open a website at the same time of the call!? I hope that someone reads this and makes the adjustment so that the camera does not freeze in multitasking. Again I’m an an iPad Pro 2020.

### 1/5 — Very Buggy

*2020-05-01, version 4.7.0*

When it works, it provides a service, no more, no less. When it doesn’t work, or intermittently works, as it does at the moment, it is very frustrating. Audio is poor, so much so that my mum prefers to hear me on the phone, whilst I mute the audio. The video is similar to Skype used to be, fuzzy at best. Then there’s the dropout problem. It currently drops the connection at the end of each call, so you have to use a cumbersome process of re-logging on (through another app-myhomehelper in my case) then wait until it says its online, before making the next call.
An update on the MacBook on 30th April has radically improved quality but this doesn’t appear to be available on the iPad. WHY??

### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible

*2020-04-15, version 4.7.0*

This app is completely unreliable. I have video sessions every weekday and the app will not let me log in at least two of those days. I have contacted the company twice, and so did my provider and we NEVER heard back. Avoid this app if you can. Just use your desktop.

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2020-04-11, version 4.7.0*
