Ratings and reviews

Great app to communicate with patient. It would be nice to expand beyond basic communication. For example, the app provide choices for seeing "Family, Doctor, Pastor,..." It would be great to further define which family members the patient wish to see. Also I wish it would allow customization to accomplish such needs.

Fantastic free app, makes it a lot easier to communicate simple tasks to none-native speaking patients. However, it would have been nice to be able to add some words and tasks for each section.

Nice app, would like to adapt this app to specific places (ie.. other facility, home, assisted living, hospice). Simple communication in recorded form.
