Ratings and reviews

I can't login to the app without a second computer. I can't switch to my email app to see the verification code because the keyboard disappears and I can't get it back. So I keep spamming myself with verification codes because I can never enter the previous code when I switch out of the app. Was this even tested? Seriously, this is ridiculous. Edit for the reply below: I am using the latest version! There is no update available on Android!

Better than no app at all. But here are some significant issues. 1) can't cut&paste information like ID or group number. This is vital to ensure accurate information when filling out forms, and blocking this provides no meaningful security. 2) family dependents cannot use the app without the primary account holder getting involved. 3) Very slow to load with clunky UI. In a routine visit probably not an issue. But in a medical crunch, the physical card is going to be easier to whip out.

This app, much like the insurance company itself, is designed to frustrate the hell out of you until you just give up. The biometric login does not work, and it requires multi-step authentication every single time I log in. It sends a one-time passkey through email that I have to type in correctly within 15 seconds. It won't allow me to have it sent via text. No matter how many times I click that box that says "Trust this device," it doesn't save it.
