User Reviews

AthenaText is highly praised for ease of use, cross-device access, HIPAA-compliant security, and its ability to improve team communication and real-time updates, especially for healthcare teams. The main recurring drawback is sign-in friction, including frequent logouts and slow authentication, which detracts from convenience. Overall, it’s viewed as a time-saver and reliable tool for on-the-go communication.

Pros

Easy to use across platforms (iPhone, iPad, laptop) and on the go
Improves staff communication and workflow; saves time
HIPAA-compliant and secure; suitable for healthcare; EMR integration adds value
Confidential, reliable, and handy for remote work
Keeps users up-to-date and allows quick messaging without a desk

Cons

Frequent logouts requiring re-authentication when opening the app
Slow sign-in process due to verification steps and load times

Recent reviews

The new version of the app that’s embedded in AthenaOne works well. But the iPhone app doesn’t and never has. You cannot attach a patient chart. While the version in athena one supports groups, the iPhone app doesn’t appear to - I can’t find my groups when I type the group name. And when typing individual recipient names, it often double- enters the name after selecting from matches, then you have to delete the second entry (often a partial name), which sometimes deletes both entries, then you have to start over again. The new version does seem to upload attachments - usually images - faster and more reliably than the old one did.
