## Review summary

Users praise the app for its simplicity and telehealth usefulness, including clear video/audio and multi-function capabilities. However, they repeatedly request missing messaging features (screenshot, edit, delete/unsend, file sharing) and report stability issues (audio/video glitches, freezes) and update-related notification problems, plus occasional provider-end camera issues. Overall, value for telehealth is high, but reliability and feature parity with modern chat apps remain areas for improvement.

### Pros

- Simple and easy-to-use interface, especially for telehealth.
- Clear video and audio quality when the connection is good.
- Multi-functional app for texting, video calls, and telehealth appointments.
- Generally reliable and convenient for online doctor appointments.

### Cons

- Missing essential messaging features (screenshot, edit, delete/unsend) and no GIF/file sharing.
- Stability and connectivity issues, including audio problems, occasional freezes, and general service glitches.
- Notifications sometimes fail after updates, causing messages to be missed.
- Video calls can be affected by issues on the provider's end (e.g., counselor's camera not showing).
