Awesome app
Awesome app. Great to be able to share summary of care with loved ones asking etc. really cool app
Mr
very bad. cannot register, cannot log in
Few bugs, but good
The app is good overall but there are constant "Internal Server Error" messages popping up on the home screen. I am also not able to see my pre-admissions for my dependents even though I can see it on the website.
Not intuitive
Not easy to navigate. No search function. Who decides where items belong? Stupid set up.
Errors
The app is good, but lately I can’t book an appointment with , I keep getting “Request Failed” {“isTrusted”:true} , also to select another slot but with no option to select time slot. This for general practitioner by the way
New app is much better
Love the new app
Malfunctioning
App has not been functioning for more than 24hrs, no one to call since it is weekend. No way to access info regarding admission, booking meals or accessing wifi codes.
Currently unreliable & frustrating
I’m posting this feedback here because the app offers no way of contacting someone about feedback or if there is a question or an issue. A pretty fundamental requirement, so here goes. On the face of it this is a great app. It promises to provide patients with some key functionality like requesting appointments, accessing health records and calling rapid response in an emergency situation. A one-stop shop. In reality however the app doesn’t currently deliver on most fronts. Every time I’ve logged in, I get the message that my password is incorrect and I must request an OTP (one-time password) which then forces me to reset my password but won’t allow me to reuse a password I’ve previously used, even 2 or 3 passwords used previously. Annoying scale: 3/5 On the the three occasions I’ve tried to book an appointment, firstly the list of Medicare clinics isn’t available so for example, for Table View Medicross there isn’t a specific listing but there are about 12 Table View options, none of which are clear, so it’s potluck. Annoying scale: 2/5 Selecting one of the Table View options you’re then asked to fill in your details, who you’d like see and, a summary of your symptoms. After submitting this, an email arrives promptly, confirming your booking request and promises a phone call from someone to advise you of an appointment. So far so good. However, 3 hours later when no phone call has been received and I ring said clinic, I’m told that there is no record of my request anywhere on the system and that I should be using a different app to make appointment bookings. No one could tell me exactly how to get a download and this app doesn’t appear to be on the iOS App Store. So now I’m back to square one and also at the back of the appointment queue for the day so all the early morning appointments are booked up. When you’re feeling pretty rubbish and have been awake most of the night with a fever and abdominal pain this is…. Annoying factor 5/5 Once I’ve re-requested an appointment, after waiting 3 hours for a call-back, had one confirmed for a later time in the day, seen the doctor, got the necessary medication, mentioned to the receptionist the problem with the app and the booking and repetitive password resets, returned home and started to feel better, I go to look at my patient records which have always been available on the app - this is extremely useful and functional 👏🏻👏🏻 and brace myself for the login ritual. I manage to log in with the last (umpteenth) password I created. I’m thrilled. Someone has done something on the backend and fixed this! Then I click on the patient records tab but there’s nothing there. “No records found”. No button to click for assistance or FAQ or anything to assist me with this. Annoying & Disappointment factor: 5/5 It seems like it’s now back to paper so I will go to the clinic and ask them to print out my records and I’ll keep them in a file. Sigh.
Good App
It is a good app but I am unable to add my dependants-2 minors of 3 years old. I want to access my daughter’s care notes but because I created a profile in my name linked to my cellphone number it tells me to contact pre-admissions. Would be great if all members can be added or another plan can be made.
Great app!
The new functionality is amazing and graphics are top class.
App malfunction
The app does not function the way it should ..it randomly malfunctions while using my medical is not on the list .. it very bad for Netcare expected more
No medical aid found
Discovery not found under the medical aid provider when I downloaded and tried to populate the information, but when I logged out and in again I was able to find the medical aid service provider.
OTP issues
Got a new phone, app wants an OTP, despite my number being correct ( Netcare site) I never get the OTP, so the app is pretty much useless now :-/ *edit* they reached out asking me to email them, the email address does not work, gets rejected
Good visuals but slow and unresponsive
The app has great functionality, however it freezes quite often or takes long to load. Sometimes it randomly displays information of information submitted on another screen. Great features, but I'd prefer not needing to force close and open the app continuously
Useless
Tried to do a preadmission and stuck at last step
Worse app on the AppStore!
I wish I could add screenshots, this app is terrible, the passwords don’t work, they don’t save and every time you try to use it, they tell you that the password needs to be reset. When you reset it, it tells you that you don’t have a profile. It loops like this over and over. Don’t waste your time like I did.
