Ratings and reviews

For non-emergency concerns, medical questions, refills, follow up concerns, the app is great. It lets my provider and me quickly read messages and respond at our convenience. I especially like it for those times when I am not sure whether I need to come in. I can type, "Hey, doc, it hurts when I do this," and she can reply, "I think you need to be seen," or just, "Don't do that," as appropriate.

Doesn't work & no tech support. I already have an account with Athena through my physician. I downloaded the app, opened to screen to login page, clicked, opened a second login screen where it asked for my credentials. Entered those & received "something went wrong. It looks like there was a hiccup on our end and we're unable to log you in. Please try again in a few moments". Of course it doesn't matter how long I wait, I receive the same error endlessly.

[update] while my issues may be provider related, there is no getting around this is a horrible app. The fact that you cannot roll back to an older version once installed is ridiculous. I have been installing and uninstalling apps on my home computer for decades. But my amazing smartphone I can't install an older version of an app? You developers need to go back to school and learn how to make applications. MYCHART is a great app my prev Doc used. All you need to do is emulate them! Timewaster
