Vocera Collaboration Suite Reviews

Buggy and flaky

CrazyTrojans

Can’t put a newline/paragraph in text messages. Why not? Who knows. Sounds the text message alarm even though you have the app open and are typing a message. Why? Who knows. Constant banner pop ups asking you to turn on Bluetooth. It needs to get to your devices, you see, even though there’s no reason for it to. Can you turn it off? No. Sending a text message is pretty straightforward in every other app like this (e.g., TigerText), but Vocera makes you click three or four different buttons to do it. Finally, Vocera is frequently incompatible with iOS upgrades, so they send messages not to upgrade. They often send these messages after the upgrades have already automatically happened. Avoid this app. It is really, really bad.

Camera and contacts

SueK07

Not only does Vocera eliminate camera use, but it is also causing my contacts to freeze. I have to use Siri or go through my text messages to make phone calls. Also, it keeps sending all of my vocera calls straight to voicemail. This last update was terrible.

Please Fix

RN7395

Is there a reason that spaces must be entered when sending texts to a specific room. For example you must text “4 8 0 2 nurse” you can’t type “4802 nurse”. Extra time wasted. Also, when I type 4 8 0 2 I then have to scroll down past 4 8 2 0 and 4 2 0 8 to find 4 8 0 2. This should be fixed When using a template, is there a way you can stay on that screen after clicking send? Finally, this app drains battery life. Please fix There are so many ways you could fix this tool, I wish you included staff more when you were creating.

Works okay

rostern

This app works for HIPPARCHUS compliant communication. It is a pain in the rear for two major reasons. I It does not show its message on the iPhone lock screen, even once “Face ID” identifies you. You have to unlock the phone, tap the app to see the message. You should be able to see your message once the phone identifies you. The app desperately needs an “acknowledge” button with a distinct sound so one could acknowledge message receipt. Currently, acknowledging with a “thanks” or similar results in a new page requiring you to take out the phone and open the app to see that the polite dope on the other end sent a “you’re welcome.”

battery drain; otherwise works well

Gossamer Wump

I’ve had this app for years but in the past number of months (latter half of 2018) battery usage by this app has gone through the roof. Even though I haven’t actually used the app in days it has been responsible for 63% of my battery usage in the past 24hrs (69% over past 4 days). I otherwise am happy using the app for secure messaging, including photos, at work. Please fix the battery usage issue!!

Lacking in everything

Daptomycin

Halved my battery life, doesn’t have an API for integrating third party messaging, looks like it was design for iOS v1.0, isn’t formatted to fit iPhone X, notifications routinely missed and delayed, customer service is incompetent at best and rude on average.

Drains your battery; delayed messages

De Gasperi

Sometimes I get messages with hours or a day of delay, even having great wifi connection. In addition, my Iphone battery is drained by this app. It’s nice to have something separate from the personal messages but this app doesn’t do any better than regular text messages or WhatsApp, both are easier to use and you can send voice messages very quickly.

Calls come in even with app closed

dewereldreiziger

After the most recent update I've noticed that even when the app is closed (forced closed, not just running in background closed) i still get calls coming through.

Horrible App

PharesMA

Sound configurations don’t work. Get random “phantom” banner notifications on my screen, then when I go to open the app there’s no message. I get the worst alarm sounds that one has ever heard coming through the app even when ALL notifications are set to OFF plus my phone is on SILENT plus my phone is on DO NOT DISTURB. This is the worst app I have ever downloaded. No exaggeration.

Drains battery even when forced turn off app and on airplane mode

jjddbbdd

It drains my battery overnight from 100% to 40% when the app was forced off and airplane mode is on... so annoying please fix!
