It drains the battery. It is the app that consumes the most battery life. It works well

Needs “Critical Alerts”

This app needs to implement the critical alerts function ASAP. This is a must for on call providers

Need to be able to change alert sounds

App works great, but can’t change the alert to something annoyingly loud to wake me up at night while on-call!

Our institution rolled out Voalte over the past year. I have found it to be effective to communicate with other physicians, staff and nurses. Unfortunately there are still some issues that make it less affective, particularly on the mobile version. Due to security they have disabled the ability to quickly dictate a message back. This requires me to have to use my phones to “type“ a message. This is obviously not affective. I believe there are ways to add on some sort of voice dictation software to allow for improved medication. Additionally the fact that I cannot see the actual messages on my lock screen or on my Apple Watch is frustrating as well. Every time I receive a message I have to pull my phone out and then open it up and “type“ my reply. Ideally I would be able to use my watch to see the message and hopefully reply. Alternatively see the message and reply to it, as I do for most messages, from my lock screen would be much more efficient. As it is currently it is functional but could be much improved. At this stage I don’t know that I would recommend it to other people. I don’t know if there are better options out there I was I was not part of the organizational push for this to work.

Badge count needs fixed.

Overall application works well. Badge count gets off frequently and requires application reset. This wastes time multiple times throughout the day. As this is a medical application missing one message is not possible. So it takes a lot of checking the app when the badge account still shows a new message when it already has been reviewed.

Poor at communication when that is the whole point

This app shouldn’t be released for actual use and should still be in beta. Messaging with physicians should be reliable. I often have to open the app intermittently to check for messages and then will get a rush of push notifications instead of them coming through in a timely manner. My settings for notifications are correct but it’s an error in the app. Also, I cover several sites and this application does not allow for those profiles to be active so I am forced to carry two phones even though one of them is not even active so that I can use both accounts. This app might have promise but I feel it is far below the threshold for active clinical use and it’s performance is inadequate, especially when compared with the TigerText and Perfect Serve apps that I use at my other hospitals that I cover. Developers... please! Please, fix this app since the hospital clearly won’t change. You are impeding my ability to do my job as a physician.

Alert volume is too low

Your Inn

I would never rely on Voalte for critical communications. The alert volumes are too low and not adjustable. The Voalte voice is unreliable. Definitely needs an upgrade before it should be widely adopted.

Terrible

Keep having problems. Freezes all the time now I keep getting this”enable refresh background “ all the time . And it’s set already for that.

Cannot remove self from group conversations

deepsoul13

I can’t believe that this feature did not exist with the first version of the app. A group of nurses added me to the “day team shift group chat” except I’m on nights. So my phone kept blowing up with Voaltes until I logged out. I should be able to remove myself from group chats without having to ask the creator of the group to do it for me. Please add this feature asap thanks. Also please add swipe texting ability since it should be HIPAA compliant. Thanks!
