“Love the all-in-one communication
Pros
Running our private practice with it has been a really positive experience because it lets me stay connected with clients in several ways from one place. We can call, text and fax all through the app which makes virtual work much more convenient while still keeping communication consistent. It covers everything we need it to do and the pricing feels fair since we only need two logins.
Cons
One thing I'd still like to see improved is the archived conversations. I save all of our message history and it would be much better if there were an easier way to filter and locate older conversations.

“easy setup for clients
Pros
Onboarding from the client side was simple for us and it didn't come loaded with a bunch of unnecessary features that would make things confusing.
Cons
A downside is that it's not very convenient to reach a practitioner unless there's already a scheduled appointment so cancellations end up needing to be handled outside the platform.
