## Review summary

User reviews show powerchart touch is hindered by reliability and data-access issues (crashes, sign-in problems, freezes) and feature gaps (microbiology, PDFs, ordering). Some users note iPad compatibility and occasional efficiency gains when it works, plus dictation support, but these positives are overwhelmed by stability problems and incomplete functionality across reviews.

### Pros

- When the app functions, it can improve efficiency in day-to-day workflows and patient care (reduces wait times).
- Works on iPad (tablet compatibility).
- Basic functionality for viewing patient lists, reviewing notes, and placing quick orders is possible when the app is functioning.
- Dragon dictation integration can be helpful when it works (dictation feature mentioned positively when available).

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and freezes; data not saved; requires restarts and inconsistent performance.
- Repeated sign-in prompts and captcha; login is unreliable (sign-in issues cited often).
- Missing or limited critical data/features (no microbiology, limited lab data, no PDFs, restricted medication ordering).
- Slowness and heavy UX friction (takes many taps to perform basic tasks; poor responsiveness).
- Poor support and downtime (customer support criticized; unexplained downtime after updates).
