Ratings and reviews

Good App. can message pac team and other specialty clinics and refill prescriptions. only drawback is cannot figure out how to add a certain specialty clinc. have to go to the main hospital office and have them do it. I like how you can download the blue ribbon report and see all doctors notes. sometimes the app is under maintenance and you cannot access it. which it forces you to re login. biometrics needs to be more consistent. I get frustrated having to keep logging in sometimes because this

Since this is the only VA app for managing appointments, medications, and secure messaging with the VA, we don't have any option but to use it or else go directly to the website. There are definitely a lot of improvements that could be made to this app. And the medications side, I would love to have a filter where you could filter out discontinued meds. Another option that would be lovely is to set up automatic refills for any medication you want to do that for. It would be more user-friendly

Good app in terms of getting around VA certain features without using web version. Add feature of not having to fill drafts before you can save them. Sometimes I have to jump back and forward reading something between my email client and drafting VA message to provider. It would be nice if I didn't have to fill everything just to save it as draft. For sending out? Sure title is needed, but for draft?
