Know immediately where help is needed by seeing or hearing a notification from any computer throughout an office and then start walking. BlueNote Lights are designed to keep track of timed events such as patient check-ins, where a doctor should go next, or anything that employees in a medical practice need to share with one another immediately, quickly, and simply. The software is free to download and use for 30 days on all computers in a practice, and video tutorials are available on the website as well as live remote training sessions. It only takes one person at one computer to set up the entire system for everyone, and the trial version reverts to a full system once a license is purchased. Licensing is all upfront, and per practice location, not per user. > > Verdict: Rated **4.9/5** by 28 users.

At the touch of a button, we could see where someone is and when they are there. It has improved our workflow and the level of service we provide to our consumers. > > **Cons**: When everybody is getting the same messages that may or may not apply to most of them, it might feel a little annoyingly repetitive. I have learn that sending messages to certain office-specific groups was a bit complicated as there are no option to select the group. ----- ### "Park Dental" — 5.0/5 > **Recardo** | *30 April 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Just the overall experience with the software. Very efficient. Saves the staff a trip from having to get up and keep running to the back to ask questions. > > **Cons**: I don't think that there is anything I don't like. Once everything is working and communicating properly, it's a breeze. > > 10 out of 10. Needed a little bit of help with 1 work station not communicating with the other work stations, and \[sensitive content hidden\] was amazing. From start to finish\!\!\! ----- ### "Bluenote makes our dental practice run smoothly" — 5.0/5 > **Alex** | *5 March 2022* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I loved the one time, upfront purchase and ability to use it on all of our office computers for that single fee. We were also able to do a month trial which is long enough to find a rhythm with the software. We were convinced this was the right product after a week and didn’t feel a need to look elsewhere. Very easy to learn and personalize to our office demands. There are few changes to an office that everyone agrees with, but introducing Bluenote was one change all the staff and doctors supported right away. > > **Cons**: The appearance is a bit barebones, but I think that is part of Bluenote’s utility. The software isn’t so focused that it can’t adapt to a broad range of businesses. > > As a dentist, I need my front desk, hygiene department, and assistant/doctor teams all on the same page. Communicating changes to schedule or when patients arrive is critical and present an immediate “need to know” situation. Bluenote provides this through their notification system which we personalized to our office style. We shave also found the communicator to be an important timesaver, saving trips from front office to back office for simple questions. We are a much more efficient practice thanks to Bluenote. ----- ### "Communicating in the office" — 5.0/5 > **Nancy** | *23 November 2022* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Absolutely love being able to designate tones to individual employees or situations. > > **Cons**: When searching for certain info within a text, having to scroll through so many to get to thread to find it. > > Other than searching texts or running out of space for longer texts, this is a very good device to have for intraoffice communications. You have the option to designate various tones to individuals and situations and they can/will recognize those tones for what they mean, without having to look at the computer screen to see what it is. Very handy to have as patients have no idea what tones mean in conjunction with running the office. ----- ### "Satisfied User" — 5.0/5 > **Lori** | *8 April 2022* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software was super easy to install on our computers and works like a charm. It was exactly was we were looking for. We are a dental office and use BlueNote to notify staff when patients are here, when assistants are ready for the doctor, when there are changes made to the schedule, when the front desk needs help, when a staff member has a phone call, when a staff member needs information quickly, etc... > > **Cons**: My only "complaint" if you will, is that I struggle with finding my previous messages (history). I don't feel it is user friendly. I will figure it out one time, then forget how to do it by the next time. Aside from that I found it easy to set up and use. > > I am extremely satisfied with BlueNote Communicator. Both the product and the support. When I have reached out to support, they were quick to respond, very friendly, and very helpful. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/221059/bluenote-communicator?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/221059/bluenote-communicator) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
