Keeps recalculatingI like the app it does help when you look at the overall map of the facility but when you start moving in the direction of your location it will start recalculating and it take less than a minute to catch-up. At time times you can navigate yourself just by looking at the overall layout..Queens riteVersion: 4.3
LocationI have to turn off my phone then turn it back on. Just to have the location finder close out. Because I’m not using it anymore when I leave and go home..RRB1968againVersion: 4.3

VA ME & Wayfinding Negative Reviews
VA ME App Feedback: A Parody of Government TechVA ME App. Dumpster Fire.🔥
If Kafka designed a mobile app, it would look like this. The VA Health and Benefits app is a masterclass in digital dysfunction—clunky, fragmented, and so riddled with usability failures it feels like a deliberate parody of government tech.
Taxpayer-Funded Inefficiency With a budget that could fund a moon landing, this app still can’t deliver basic functionality. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOG) should treat this app like a crime scene. It’s not just inefficient—it’s insulting.
Developers: Who Approved This? Whoever greenlit this monstrosity should fired. Veterans deserve better than a glorified error page masquerading as a health portal.
The Obvious Solution: MyCharts by Epic. Epic’s MyCharts is already a proven, secure, and user-friendly platform used by leading health systems nationwide. Why reinvent the wheel with a square? Ditch this disaster and transition to MyCharts before more veterans suffer the consequences of digital monstrosity!
Even the ‘Give Feedback’ button is a cruel joke. It launches your email client with no recipient address!
What a joke.

Add CBOC and outpatient clinics such as a Savannah outpatient clinicPlease return the app to his original form where it had community based out which clinics as well as patient clinics. it makes it easier for VETERANS to check in without having stand in line at the chaos and also makes it easier for us to find our way. Removing community clinics and outpatient clinics has made the worse and make sure not want to use it.
In fact, the 4.0 version was much better. It allowed community-based clinics and outpatient clinics were listed. You could do pass you schedule appointments. Please return it back to the future. Thank you..SexiegaVersion: 4.2
Slow processI’m not getting my claim s paid in a timely manner. This is not a great way for us as veterans to go on line and put in our claims and still have to wait a month to get them paid. I also noticed that there is no way to removed the paid claims to a file so we can know what has been paid. I am very disappointed in this system , we could have continued to file a paper claim and get it this slow way. I thought that doing it on line was supposed to make it easier and quick.
Maybe if these things change I can give you a better review..ChazzluckyVersion: 4.3
Travel payThis app is almost useless for travel pay. But this mobile app is now the only option for applying for it. It clearly states the mileage I requested round trip from home to my appt. It also clearly states the amount of reimbursement. But when I pressed ok, the total reimbursement is stated as exactly half of the requested amount… as if the trip was one way only. There is no option for help..Tiddldwink10Version: 5.0.1
Accessibility keeps getting worseThe navigation is just horrible most of the time can be in the building and it says I am not in the building. Or thinks I am on a different floor. Look for a restroom like it suggests and it says no results found.
Accessibility wise they asked for feedback and what they implemented made the problems even worse does not listen to half the gestures..BlindHawkeyeVersion: 4.2
Terrible as expectedYou can login. Good luck finding how to create a travel claim. It use to be an option to click on. Now you have to search for it but it only gives you the option to change your personal information or password. Another way of making or lives miserable. Congratulations VA, your doing a great job.JT3/75Version: 4.3

No travel voucherI have this app for the purpose of filing my travel vouchers. The app has no search option and no travel voucher option. It even denies my VA appointment while I am actually at the appointment. So, how does a veteran file a travel voucher now?.Marty CraigVersion: 4.4
