Summary

This mobile app receives predominantly negative feedback due to critical functionality issues. The most common complaints include links failing to open the app, instead redirecting to web browsers, and persistent problems with camera, microphone, and audio functionality. Many users report poor reliability, frequent connection drops, and general instability, often leading to missed or rescheduled appointments. Specific compatibility issues were noted across various iOS versions (including 18.2.1, 17.6, and 17.7), Mac devices, and certain browsers like Chrome. While some users appreciate the convenience of remote appointments and the ability to avoid travel, this positive aspect is largely overshadowed by widespread technical failures and a perceived lack of effective customer support.
