Spok Mobile

Doesn’t work if you are running a VPN. Customer service was of no help in figuring this out.

Similar to other reviews. App does not push notifications to phone unless app is opened. Defeats the purpose of a paging app.

Suddenly stopped pushing pages to my phone- potentially dangerous

Have had issues getting notifications on my iPhone for any pages, forcing me to have to carry my physical pager around and making the app functionally useless. Have verified that the notifications from Spok are set to critical in my phone settings and still getting absolutely nothing until I open the app

What’s the point of a paging app that you have to open the app to actually get the page? I’m on call at my job for a week at a time and have to set reminders on my phone to check the app to see if I received any pages because otherwise you don’t get notified

My hospital uses this for on call physicians- it barely works for the most important messages. App glitches when you try to open it. It’s a patient safety issue. No one ever seems to know how to fix it. Do not buy buy for any real use.

The UI for this app needs updating. It’s very difficult to navigate

Great idea instead of using pager, however does not work if phone is on low battery mode unless the app is open. Would be nice to read the page on your Apple Watch or in the banner versus having to open the app and click the message every time as Well.

My employer makes me use the truly awful app.

This would be okay if it was 2009. Worst app on my phone, and I have a lot.
