About this app

AMS Connect is a HIPAA compliant mobile application for critical and secure text messaging. Enhancing critical messaging workflows AMS Connect also integrates with American Messaging’s suite of critical messaging devices, providing reliable, secure, and redundant messaging.

Key Features:

- Send and receive secure text messages in compliance with HIPAA standards.

- Pager Integration – Messages arrive on your pager, smart phone or both for redundancy and convenience.

- Service Teams – Send a page to a service team or group. Adds backup and redundancy to the traditional “hand off” or “pass around” pager with easy opt-in and opt-out of on call pagers at any time.

- Silent/Do Not Disturb Override – AMS Connect notifications can override “Silent” and “Do Not Disturb” phone settings when Critical Alerts are “Allowed” by the end user.

- Message Forwarding – Let your colleagues know who is covering you when off-duty and have your messages automatically forwarded to that person.

- Availability Status – Set your status to let contacts know if you are available, bust or off duty and view the status of others.

- Mobile & Web Accessibility – Access AMS Connect anytime, anywhere via the Android or Web applications with device sync.

- Read Receipts – See exactly if, and when your colleagues have read your messages with receipts.

- Quick Messages - Quickly send commonly used messages by selecting from a list of pre-populated phrases or create your own.

- Voice Notes – Record a voice message and send it securely within a conversation thread.

- Photo & File Share – Safely send up to 5 photo and file attachments including PDF, Word, and Excel documents up to 28MB at a time.

- Archived Messaging History – Ability to archive single, multiple or all messages (according to your organization’s retention policy).

- Searchable Directory – Access a listing of professionals from your organization and message them directly.

- Urgent Message – Alert your care team to critical information and events by sending an urgent message with a unique tone.

- Critical Group Messaging – Privately and securely message individuals, teams, and other distribution groups.

- Secure External Messaging – (enhanced feature) Send a HIPAA secure message or photo to anyone with a mobile phone. Secure external messages are encrypted conversations between an American Messaging user and an external user with a mobile device. No need to sign up and remember usernames and passwords. Just quick, easy secure communication.

New update is terrible. Shrill full volume beep for every pager message regardless of my ring tone or phone volume. If I disable the "dnd override" setting in my phone I get no notification at all. This is the worst and makes the app unusable. I will be uninstalling and going back to a pager... It's that's bad. Update: app, is still terrible. The beep is somewhat better. But the new problem is that I no longer receive any alert when another user messages me! Useless.

Hello Joshua, we have some great enhancements coming out in 1.3 this weekend. Did you want a call from a product specialist to help trouble shoot this to make sure your settings? thanks

The app works well and is decently customizable. I do receive constant "Unable to Connect to Server" toasts when I get home. Also, it would be handy to have a function to set specific alert sounds per person/group or for new conversations vs messages to existing ones. Lastly, a dark mode would be appreciated for us night shifters!

Works fine, but I CONSTANTLY get "cannot connect to server popups" and they are incredibly annoying. The only way to resolve this is to open the app and reset pop-ups. Giving it 2 stars though because this happens constantly, would upgrade to 5 if it was fixed.
