The hospital's doctors and staff are praised for their caring nature. However, multiple users report functional issues such as app instability, sign-in problems, and the need to install an additional app, which causes confusion. Some users also dislike the mandatory location access requirement. ### Pros - App is easy to use and helps users see their child's medical information. - Allows connection with doctors and access to visit summaries and doctors' excuses for work or school. - Doctors and nurses are caring and provide good care for children. ### Cons - App rarely opens or functions properly; sometimes requires downloading an additional app, causing confusion. - Requires location access, which some users find intrusive. - Sign-in issues with the app redirecting users back to the Play Store to download another app. ## Similar extensions and apps - [MyChildrensMercy](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.childrensmercy.mychildrensmercy.play) — 22,302 users, 4.31 / 5 - [Children's Wisconsin](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.chw.mychart) — 23,186 users, 4.67 / 5 - [Children's Health](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.childrens.patientportal) — 57,269 users, 4.35 / 5 - [Children's Healthcare of ATL](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.choa.childrens) — 20,572 users, 4.29 / 5 - [Seattle Children's](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.seattlechildrens.flagship) — 16,795 users, 4.82 / 5 - [Children's GO](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.chmcomaha.go) — 8,554 users, 4.30 / 5 - [Mercy Care](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.aetna.betterhealthmcrp) — 12,439 users, 3.66 / 5 - [Nemours Children’s MyChart](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.nemours.android.mynemours) — 154,949 users, 4.70 / 5 - [The Childrens Clinic](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.docterz.connect.thechildrensclinic) — 1,156 users - [Kid Care-St. Louis Children's](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.gss.android.KidCare) — 27,748 users, 3.38 / 5 - [MyCare by Children's Mercy](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.childrensmercy.mycare) — 640 users - [Cradle Children Hospital](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.docterz.connect.cradlechildrenhospital) — 38 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.childrensmercy.cmguide)
