Ratings and reviews

Previously the app worked very well and I used it nearly daily. Now there has been an automatic update and it no longer works on my Android phone Update 5/30/20. The bugs have been fixed! I emailed the developer and they responded right away. Wow! now the app works as it should. I really like the updated look and interface. Have not had a chance yet to use it much yet, but just messing around with it I can tell that it will be good.

If i could give this app 10 stars, i would. It's the one medical app i can't do without right now. If you're a primary care provider, you shld have this on your phone. It is free, clean, works well, very up to date and saves my clinic visits.

Updated Review: New patch fixed the screen scrolling issue on my Pixel 3, can now go back to daily use. Thanks for the response and prompt update to an app that supports both providers and patients alike.
