Cortext Reviews

Love/hate

NPR junkie and music lover

This app is a useful tool and maybe someday could replace the antiquated pager. They need to fix the bugs, however, and make sure texts always come through in a timely manner. It is also ridiculous that there is no medical dictionary, auto correct makes some embarrassing spelling errors. The ability to do voice to text would improve functionality as well.

Very unreliable

Teebon??

Message delays are common, sometimes you get no notification, sometimes you get a notification but the message isn’t there. Often when I reply it will give me a “not sent” error. I have to use it at work due to confidentiality but it is a terribly unreliable platform. I despise using it.

Thanks for keeping me up at night

There needs to an integrated way to have Cortexts reliably break through Do Not Disturb. I am already on night call for days at a time and awake responding to actual clinical concerns in addition to seeing patients during the day. I do not want to be disturbed for robocalls from Slovenia because I can't put the phone on Do Not Disturb while using this app. Bring back the physical pager!

Problems with either update or iOS 12 or iPhone X

Recently my alerts have not been sounding, banner alerts only. Connection has been extremely wonky lately as well- seems like I almost need “perfect” conditions. I don’t know if this is a function of a recent CorText update, iOS update (12.2), or new phone (XS). Why was the “override silent mode” option removed from the app? Despite what it says this cannot be done in Settings>Cortext>Notifications. This seems to be a functionality needlessly wiped out.

Terrible

Keeps closing immediately upon opening rendering it useless. Reinstalled with help of IT still not working. Tiger text is much better and supports voice to text.

Poor quality and design, unreliable, glitchy

I'm genuinely surprised that an app published from such a large company would have such a cheaply built and low quality application for something as important as physicians communicating about patient care. This app represents minimum effort.

Concerning issues

I’m a physician who uses this app on a daily basis in my medical practice as provided by my medical group. A lot of times it loses connection. Regardless whether you have Internet or you have networking, a lot of times it loses connection and you have to wait to the connection is established again in the app. It sometimes deletes some texts and the patient information is gone. You can imagine what that means if you are a physician and you are super busy and you care about your patients.

No more “override silent mode”

Within the past couple of months, Cortext did away with its “override silent mode” which makes no sense and that led to all of us missing multiple cortext messages because we didn’t know about the change. Now I keep my phone off silent but I’m constantly inundated with all the other notifications I get. This is not helping with productivity at all. Please fix this issue as soon as possible!

Terrible terrible app

About as bad as it gets in so many aspects. Messages will often not load for minutes at a time in a “messaging” app. The app freaks out when going outside of WiFi range. The app is slow and clunky. The worst part of it all is the battery drain. The app shortens normal daily battery life by hours and regularly uses >75% of daily battery. Worthless. If I had a choice I would never use this again.

Repeat alerts

Could have been 5 star

After update I keep getting an urgent update message for a message I’ve viewed, then deleted, then reset my phone, then reinstalled the app. Not sure if the repeat message (like 15-20x every 10 mins) will continue with the fresh install. Still a very annoying bug.
