Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

For how much they pushed it online I was expecting a richer app experience. It’s not that the app works poorly or anything, but there’s really no functionality that isn’t just as easily available on the website. Even 'tracking orders' which was listed as a feature is hard to find and simply redirects to an external page anyways.

I can recommend this company if you don’t mind paying a little bit more than you otherwise might for the pleasure of not involving any health insurance company. App is a little glitchy, logs me out all the time and forgets daily tracking entries.

The app is great except… I need to re-login every other time I use it, and it asks me 'Have you started treatment yet?' every time this happens. Yes I’ve started, I’ve been here for months! It doesn’t seem to remember who I am or what I’ve done.
