Ratings and reviews

UPDATE 2022-07-22 The issues have been fixed. I have been using it for the last few weeks and my experience is positive. My only recommendation is to change the caregiver preference option from single choice to multiple choice. Thanks for listening to the feedback. ======= It's logging me out frequently. Everytime typing my login credentials does not make sense. No other mobile app is such frustrating. I decided to use website instead of dealing with such issues. Thanks but no thanks.

Super buggy app. I requested care and it confirmed but never follow through. I logged back into the app (which in and of itself is a very difficult task because it keeps either forgetting the biometric sign in or I get a message saying that some error has occurred just because I tried to log on with username and password) and there was no mention of the request I placed anywhere.

This app is horrible! First it wouldn't let me click on which state I was in. The box was totally grayed out and you were unable to move forward because it requires the state. Well then let me click on it! Then, it said "county required" but there was NO box to choose a county! This app and this COMPANY is TERRIBLE. People need back-up assistance and reimbursement during this unforseen pandemic, and they are deliberately not wanting to help, although the illusion of "offering" help is there.
