Ratings and reviews

It's better than it used to be but still incredibly hard to use. Looking for covered providers using the app is a nightmare. You can't go back to previous pages, so if you go in to look at a particular person, you have to start all over again. Plus, some providers listed just don't exist anymore. I tried to call a clinic for a therapist only to find the clinic closed years ago. Additionally, the app will tell you if a practitioner is accepting new patients, except it's not always accurate.

The app is difficult to navigate, doesn't always upload your pictures, kicks you back to the home page when you only want to return to the previous page, and asked a strange question as to what kind of pharmacy I have. Then the app couldn't find it - CVS, the only one in our small town. Don't you think it should have been able to figure that out, even if I had the wrong street address, which I didn't? Very frustrating experience after taking a dozen pictures and picking out the best four.

App is slow, the interface is confusing, and you can't even use the back button without messing something up!!
