generally works well. some usability improvements are needed. please allow copy pasting or make it optional. i want to translate the text, I can't. i want to copy the phone number from the message, I can't. additionally, please also allow screen reading (maybe with an extra setting for privacy) so that we can use Google circle search!

If you can't add translation to the app, just do not restrict screenshoting, otherwise there is no way to translate text and app becoming useless

Beste Stanislav Shvets, Dank voor uw review. We begrijpen dat het ontbreken van vertaalmogelijkheden vervelend is en nemen uw feedback hierover graag mee. De veiligheid en privacy van onze gebruikers staan voorop. Daarom is het maken van screenshots binnen de app beperkt. Vragen? Mail ons via (service@beterdichtbij.nl). Groet, Lotte

Beste Joanne Lo, Dank voor uw feedback. Fijn dat u prettig met uw arts kunt communiceren via de app. We begrijpen dat het minder handig is dat u voor andere zaken een ander patiënten portaal nodig heeft. We nemen uw feedback mee in de verdere ontwikkeling van BeterDichtbij. Vriendelijke groet, Lotte | BeterDichtbij
