Ratings and reviews

Very difficult to use. Can't navigate away from the app on my phone without disconnecting. That means I can't look at my notes for the appointment or check my calendar to schedule for my next appointment. Often, almost always blurry. Even at the highest pixel rating. My therapist appears in a head shot, often most of their face is cut off unless they sit perfectly unnaturally still. Audio is good. Fix the visuals and allow the app to minimize when I need to use a different app on my phone

I find it dumb when I switch away from the app it doesn't go into picture by picture and doesn't have an option to do that. Also after about ten seconds regardless of setting the app to run in the background, it shuts off your camera and then will end the call. change this. I do virtual therapy this way when I don't go in person and I need to multitask so I can do things on my phone like worksheets while in the appointment.

This app didn't work correctly for almost an entire week. It lacks some basic quality-of-life features that other (much cheaper HIPAA compliant options) have. And it is generally unreliable. If you have not invested into the Simple Practice platform yet, I say avoid it. The technology is spotty, but their built-in ads for their AI features somehow always work great. So take that for what you will.
