Ratings and reviews

As a native English speaker who is learning German, this app makes it pretty easy. Dealing with health issues is never a good time to be learning a language. The fact that most of the documents and screens are in English It's very helpful. Much better than the service and app I was using from other German insurance companies that I have used previously, they were Not-A-OK.

App is good. it's gains couple stars being German and offering English language. that is amazing. otherwise the navigation is okay. this is no reflection on the service behind the app which is a separate review. on service front, so far (touch wood) no issues

I always have a problem with synchronising the tk fit with my samsung health app. The app does not get synched at all with the new update. By the way, previously, I did all the challenges, and now they are wiped out, and I don't have any voucher or points anymore.
