Description
The NHS App gives you a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services on your smartphone or tablet.
You can use the app if you are aged 13 or over. You must be registered with an NHS GP surgery in England or the Isle of Man.
You can also log in through the NHS website on a computer to use NHS App services.
Access NHS services
----------------------
Use the NHS App to access your NHS services, anytime and anywhere. You can request repeat prescriptions, use 111 online, find nearby NHS services and more.
Depending on your GP surgery, you may also be able to book appointments and contact your surgery about a health problem.
Manage your health
--------------------
The NHS App gives you a convenient way to view your GP health record, including your test results.
You can manage your upcoming appointments and prescription requests. You can also make choices about your health, like your organ donation decision.
Receive messages
-------------------
You can get important messages from your GP surgery and other NHS services through the app. Turning on notifications can alert you to new messages.
Manage services for other people
---------------------------------
You can switch profiles to access services for other people in the NHS App, such as a child or family member. Your GP surgery needs to give you access and you must both share the same surgery.
Log in securely
---------------
The NHS App will guide you through setting up an NHS login if you do not have one already. You will be asked to prove who you are. The app will then securely connect to information from your NHS services.
If your iPhone or iPad supports Touch ID or Face ID, you can use it to log in, every time you use the app.

Ratings and Reviews
Should improve it
Their application needs a lot to be improved and they should ease the log in using email only sometimes doesn’t help,so (nhs number or birth day) will make it more easier.
Requirements to prove the identity!!!!!!!! I was shocked 😂for example I have to record a video of my face at midnight!!!
I mean there should be better ways to log in and adding information.

Unusable
This app is essentially unusable. First, the login process is like seven steps and twenty clicks - it could be streamlined so much. Once you do finally log in, the functionality changes seemingly every week or so. Sometimes I can make an appointment at my GP surgery online. Sometimes that option no longer exists. Sometimes the drop down only allows you to make an appt for a blood test or phone appt. Sometimes those options disappear. Sometimes I’m seemingly assigned to a GP surgery I’ve never heard of that seems to be the first in the alphabetical list of GP surgeries.
The app also constantly bounces you out to other apps. So if I can’t see letters, see info on appointments, schedule appointments, send messages…I don’t know what this app is for. It is essentially useless.

Terrible design
The app hops from in-app use to its website, and has countless errors, and makes it impossible to contact the support team. I’ve tried over and over to book an appointment for submitting the vaccine I received abroad (why on Earth I can’t just upload a photo of it for verification is beyond my comprehension, my guess is these pencil-pushers didn’t consider that possibility), but it always says I can’t because I have other appointments booked. I checked, and I have no appointments booked. Why can’t I just book for a booster? Why do they make it so difficult? Do they want people to get the booster or not?

Thank you for your review. You’ll need to contact your GP surgery directly to discuss this along with booking an appointment. They can book the appointments over the telephone.
