YourHealthNS 4+

This app basically provides links to various NS health webpages, nothing more. Each time you land on a page, or even come back to the same page, you have to log in again, each time using a specific login for that specific service. It’s like the health care system itself: nothing is joined up, you have to register every time you go anywhere.

I’m a third year computer science student and this app makes me ashamed of my province and the government that produced it.

A list of links that don’t lead to app embedded pages ? What? You duct taped some link rels together for $10 million dollars ? Excuse me ?

We already had access to ALL of this information online, as well as booking blood work.

What about the emergency wait time feature ? Why was no action taken when the developer told you it didn’t work properly ?

You spent $10 million dollars on something I could get a group of 2nd year 18 year old computer science students to put together over a weekend.

$10 000 000. Apparently, that is what the provincial government spent developing this app. Unfortunately, it is little more than an organized list of links to various websites. There is no way to store your personal information, encrypted or otherwise. As a result, if you want to book a vaccine, you have to follow the link to the website and enter your information. The same is true with all of the other links. No time saving at all. Disappointing to say the least.
