User Reviews

Users report serious reliability issues: push notifications fail, messages are missed or delayed, and frequent logouts hinder use. Updates frequently degrade usability, with unreadable timestamps and unclickable phone numbers. Security features like HIPAA-compliant secure messaging with remote wipe are noted as positives, but overall improvements in stability, notifications, and support are needed.

Pros

HIPAA-secure messaging with remote data wipe
Fast access to information while maintaining security
In-app convenience features like one-tap reply, in-message calls, and mass deletion

Cons

Unreliable push notifications; messages are frequently not delivered or delayed
Frequent logouts and login failures; users are randomly logged out and can't log back in
Update-related usability regressions: new UI changes and related issues (e.g., unreadable timestamps, unclickable phone numbers)
General reliability and performance issues: app often won't open, requires restarts, and messages lag during busy periods
Poor customer support and slow or unsatisfactory assistance

Recent reviews

This app is totally unreliable. I used to get notications now I never get them...only calls from the answering service wondering why I'm not responding to their messages. Time for the developer to address these critical issues. Absolute garbage and won't refer this to anyone.
