### "Half done product. Bad Support. Terrible practice to keep you locked in." — 2.0/5

> **Shivendra** | *16 November 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Only good thing I can say about Core practice right now is ease of use. It is fairly easy to use system compared to others.
> 
> **Cons**: - Frequent problems in basic functions and full of bugs
- Some features are half done and when you reach out to them they suggest not to use it. Why have it then?
- Not everyone gets the updates
- Lack of integrations
- High SMS cost
- Lack of customer service. They don't listen and their support people have no idea about anything
- Worst one for our industry is that they don't give you all data if you decide to move away from them
> 
> It started as a very nice one with lots of promises and excitement. Slowly it started turning into bad one with frequent problems with no solutions, bug that don't get fixed, blaming everything on something else. Literally no improvements for 2 years and even when there was one, we would never get it. Do not know who got it.

The last straw was when we decided to switch to another platform and they are not willing to provide full data. It's been almost 6 months and we are still waiting. Just making it difficult for us. Not a very good move to keep customers locked in. So beware.

### "Core Practice review" — 2.0/5

> **Betty** | *09 June 2024* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of logging in through mobile for quick overview of day book
> 
> **Cons**: No ease of use at all. Too many steps and clicks required to do every little thing. 
Cannot rearrange items on a treatment plan in order that you want
Can't click and drag items
Can't have notes written up in 'unsaved' form, so that rough notes can be jotted during appointment, then checked and 'ticked through' later- so rough and often incorrect notes are 'saved'. No easy way to know which ones haven't been double checked. 
Notes templates too complicated- have to spend time to keep modifying templates to work better
No provision to write personal patient notes- regarding family, hobbies, etc
Invoicing and payments in separate tabs and so complicated. Used to use EXACT Dental and it was so simple. 
'Comments' easy to select, but cannot be edited and also don't print out on pt records. 
'Treatment notes' harder to select- too many clicks
No prescription pad template. I still have to use EXACT template to print out prescriptions.
> 
> Find it very cumbersome and frustrating.

Imagine having a stupid appointment book that when you click today page on Friday takes you to the previous Monday. What moron made today not today and thinks that was good
