1. 4/5To add to the value of this platform

   Changes would greatly enhance this platform. Scheduling appointments, sending out reminders and activating the zoom meetings, is straightforward and effective. Setting up and activating the billing system is step learning curve, and then figuring out how to get assistance from people at simple practice is not simple. But once finally securing an online meeting, the people helping at simple practice are excellent - professional, clear and helpful. One great flaw and significant limitation for anyone who teaches, supervises or is seeking certification in many psychotherapy modalities, is Simple Practice does not have recording capabilities. I along with many others have posted questions about this and reached out to Simple practice. I have yet to figure out how to get a response to this. I along with many others have posted to the simple practice blog and reached out in other ways. How can the developers of simple practice be reached? And when will this recording need be addressed? Thank you for answering these queries.

2. 2/5Glitches and loss of appointments

   First I want to say, while I am certainly grateful to simple practice and that they developed an app for us to use instead of needing to always sign into our computers a lot of times to manage our appointments and scheduling with clients, I find that the app often continues to be glitchy, slow to load, even loses my information when I am trying to set appointments with clients. Over the past 6-8 months, maybe since the big app overhaul a couple of years ago, either an appointment was not saved, was saved for a wrong time or I’ve missed an appointment because the information I put in was not save properly. Now I know this can sound like a me problem and I will own my part in having fat thumbs but a lot of it is that the wheel of death shows up and takes forever to load. Most days, if I need to manually change a clients appointment or put information in, I often don’t trust the app or have to set aside 15 mins for it adjust so I can make changes. I am much more inclined to use my desk top than the app any day. It has been bothersome enough to consider changing our practice system to another product, sadly…and I’ve been with SP since their beta testing. So hopefully something can be done to improve its user interface speed.

3. 1/5Find a different app!

   I downloaded this app and immediately decided not to use it so I deleted it. Every time I’ve tried to communicate with this company to tell them I want to stop receiving their emails they tell me to sign into the app. Apparently you have to download the app in order to communicate with them but I don’t remember my sign in information and they won’t communicate with me to give it to me. And… There’s no telephone number and no way to reach this company any other way but by signing into the app. Now I’m getting emails from them telling me that my free trial is over and they’re going to start charging me.. *Update* .. I finally heard from someone by phone after spending half an hour when I got home from work tonight to re-create all my sign in information so that I could put an end to all these communications and clarify what I need to do to delete my account. I did accomplish this finally but it took a whole month to speak to someone and she was clearly working very hard to be nice in dealing with this frustrated and dissatisfied customer. She didn’t really want to hear the things I had to say about my experience and that I had problems with the service. She wanted to just get on with the business of helping me delete my account. She also made reference to this review asking me if I would be willing to modify it or change it after speaking with her. I did delete a few things I previously wrote but I’m still frustrated after an unpleasant almost power struggle.. feeling a bit managed, really.

4. 4/5An imperfect game changer

   Since using Simple Practice, my earnings have gone from minimal to substantial. In the past, I used a billing service that charged me 10% of all billed services, whether collected or not. I am terrible at tracking authorizations and documentation. Simple practice has been a game changer in all of these areas. I am pleasantly stunned to find that I actually can earn some income from my work. I am also pleased that I know what documentation has been completed, and what has not and can customize how I document based on the requirements of the pay sources (SOAP, DAP, etc.). The drop down menu for mental status exams and pre populated CMS forms are incredibly convenient. I have added the APA cross cutting symptom measure as part of the intake packet that I send electronically to new clients. Taken together, my practice is so much more organized and streamlined. The only drawback is the clunkiness of moving between menus and screens. I’m still not entirely clear about how to access some features. However, the help option nearly always provides the answer I need. If you are not the most organized person in the world, and do not love filling out those insurance forms, this could be the solution for you.

5. 5/5Great platform - some suggestions

   I like SP so far and you have created a platform that works very well for on line registration, Telehealth, making appointments, etc. I would like to suggest you have a chat window available or respond to contacts by phone within a short period of time. My office needs assistance at times and has to wait sometimes a day or two to receive a response. That is a big problem, especially as she is trying to set up the practice on SP from another practice platform. Also it would help to have a way to change full names on the calendar to initials only. This would be more protective of privacy. Adding a window where to leave an internal note to admin in the practice would make fast communication easy. Right now we must open a note to read any internal communication. Color coding various different kind of appointment would be helpful to know at a glance which appointments are intakes, couple, testing, admin appointments, group, etc. Overall, you’ve created a very good platform. I hope to enjoy using it for years to come.
