Istethoscope Pro App Reviews

I, like another, made a gamble. I have an iPhone 4S and bought this app for .99 cents. Want to know what happened? Nothing. I plugged in. I watched to video on "How to use istethoscope" and you know what happened after that? That's right... NOTHING. I want my money back; it isn't even worth ANY amount of money.

Didn't work for me

I wish I could give -ve ratings

Downloaded, activated, opened. Couldn't figure it out. Read the brief tutorial online and got it to work. Found my heartbeat within a few mins of trying. Now I can find it easily. Sound quality wasn't great and not sure how much better it would be with better headphones, but it worked. I'm five months pregnant and I couldn't find a baby heartbeat but I'm going to try with better headphones.

If this thing gave my heart radiation trouble or any kinda of cardiac problems I'll sue for everything I have. #Promise

Don't waste money does not work.. Tries all the ways ppl say it works on you tube and that alot of dif ways and none of them ever worked.. My gf is 26 weeks pregnant and could not hear a sound.. Made a fast heart beat sound with volume up but did that in my stomach and then tried no volume, record and listen with headphones and that didnt work at all... Don't waste a dollar on this it does NOT work

Nothing on it works. This app is a rip off!!

Works but not a good ap for the iphone 5 or newer. The headphone jack gets in the way and you can't pic up anything on the mic. You can use it without headphones but it is VERY hard to hear anything. I don't recommend this unless you have an older iphone or a phone that does not have a headphone jack next to its mic...

I'm a physician. I didn't bring my stethoscope home when I went to visit family. My father needed me to evaluate his lungs for acute wheezing, and despite 30 min of messing with this app and watching you tube instructions, it was a big fail!

This App doesn't work at all. I tried all sorts of configurations but it simple doesn't catch any heart sounds. Scam ? Maybe!

It truly does work. I thought it might be a waste of money (all $1of a waste lol), but it actually is a great tool. I not only can hear my heartbeat and monitor it, but I'm able to actually hear my baby's heartbeat inside of me. It does work. Follow the instructions and have patience. Make sure you use headphones WITHOUT a mic, and sometimes it helps if you lie down in a quiet and relaxing environment. Cheers to the makers of this app!

This app us useless plus seems to gave hit my phone with spam in my email that I cannot delete.

Doesn't work with iPhone5 because mic is on same side as headphone jack. Waste of time and money.

The microphone is right next to the headphone connection. So you aren't able to get the microphone against skin. Waste of $.

Stupid app. I want my money back it doesn't work at all.

Terrible

I got this app to listen to baby's heartbeat and surprisingly it worked. I was skeptical at first and had to play with it. I tried headphones but had issues because they're plugged in bottom of my phone so it was hard to press on stomach. I tried it without headphones and switched the mode to "clear sound" and it worked loud and clear. Make sure you tap on the stethoscope to begin.

Watched the videos but still can't get It to work. App is worthless!

Followed instructions. Doesn't work.

My husband installed correctly, we used the microphone. I have and IPhone 4S. It works good, we can hear each others heart beats. I downloaded it to try and hear my daughter in my belly, but I have not been able to hear her heart beat. Regardless it still works, just need to set it up correctly for those that say it don't work. Lol waste of $.99 cents for y'all, but it works for me!

People have no common sense! First of, it states go to settings and activate app. Anyone who has common sense knows that well there is no setting in the app so they must refer to your phone settings. Took me less then a second to figure that one. Went to my iPhones setting, clicked on the app and tada the activate button was there. Clicked to activate and began using the app. For those who says it picks up everything but the heartbeat, uh you must not know where your heart is located. I picked up my heartbeat by using the heartbeat pure and heartbeat filtered modes. Change the modes by clicking the mode button. Press the bottom of the phone (where you normally talk through) to your heart, wrist or back of knee. I caught my heartbeat in all three areas and my neck too. This works perfectly for pregnant mommies too and cheaper than other apps. I found my baby's heartbeat after a little bit searching for it. I'm around 24 weeks pregnant. It's also great to listen to whispering and conversations far away. I tried it at work and within my home. I heard mumbling from the other room...so to test the app, I changed the move to conversation and tada I was hearing a TV show clear as daylight. I was surprised bc I walked into the room and it was exactly what I was listening to. Here is one last tip, make sure to use good headphones. The ones that block out other sounds are a good example. No headphones with microphones....sorry can't use the iPhone headphones. Other than that, this app is worth it. Tip: If you don't know basic anatomy or have common sense, do yourself a favor and save yourself the $.99. Have a great day!

forget this app for iphone 5s can't use the mic on your chest with headphones in place. It says compatible w5s total fraud don't buy

The iPhone microphone is not capable of "hearing" the heart under normal circumstances. A stethoscope is special made to allow someone to hear it. This App is not able to achieve that ability.

Incomprehensible UI design. Doesn't measure heart rate reliably.

I am a professional audio engineer and this app will not work with an iPhone 5. This is because the headphone jack is on the same side as the microphone. There is no way to press the mic against your body with the headphones connected (which is required). They should update the description to reflect this. Can I get a refund?

I'm a primary care doctor. I tried the app with and without headphones. I watched the videos. Couldn't really make out the heart tones. Needs more work but hope they keep trying to improve it.

"After" buying the app there's a warning to keep it away from people with Pacemakers because it may interfere with the frequency...great ....I've been holding it to my chest for the last hour trying to figure out how to work it, and I have a implanted Pacemaker! Grrrrrrr never figured it out anyhow, deleting it.

This app doesn't work at all. Save your money people.

I wanted to try it for myself and it was a complete fail.

Worked great on my 4s- Now that I have a 5c, the headphone jack is next to the mic so you are unable to place the mic flush on your skin- They need to either make it compatible with blue tooth headphones or speakers, or disclose that it only works with 4s and prior models.

What a joke. Yesterday, I read that this app worked sort of like a Doppler and I could hear my baby's heartbeat. I was so excited when I found it almost immediately yesterday... This afternoon, my husband found The baby in his Billy's heartbeat, too. I don't know what it picks up, but it certainly isn't a heartbeat. Don't waste your money.

Mic and headphone port too close. Complete waste of money! Wish I could spend it on something else. Please listen when I say if you have an iphone 5 don't spend your money on this piece of crap app. I don't know about the older phones. Stupid app. & I never write reviews.

So I bought this app thinking it might not work but after using it the app is amazing! I'm sort of obsessed with cardiology so when I got to hear my heartbeat it was so cool! Even though every time I use the app I have to take my otter box off the app Is still great.Definitely worth the 99 cents. Has a extremely clear sound and let's u hear your heartbeat clearly.

After trying many different fetal Doppler apps, and just as many disappointments I thought to try something a little more simple. At 20 weeks gestation a fetal heartbeat can be heard with a stethoscope. $1 later, I was listening to my baby's heartbeat and sharing via e-mail with the grandparents. This app is fantastic and would highly recommend.

What to do to hear a clear beat of your heart with this app? Press Red button, then '<' and play with Filter until you hear the good quality of your heart beat. Before doing that I also could not 'locate' my heart so I may relate to the frustration of other reviewers. Peter did a great job with the app, promptly replied to my Qs, so I am a happy bird now : ) Please share your experience: I'd be happy to know that my advice on Filter path made a difference for you. Thanks!

Given the mic location in relation to the headphone jack on an iPhone 6, this is almost completely useless. Using an inline mic on earbuds is suggested as an alternative but is almost impossible to manage since you have to touch it so much to position. Waste of money.

Poor instruction video. Cannot get it to work. Great idea. Needs to be fixed.

I absolutely LOVE this app!! It has worked great for me everytime I use it. I picked up my heartbeat right away. AND was also able to pick up my "expecting" friend's baby heartbeat when we put the phone on her belly. It's so cool! This is amazing technology. I don't know what all these other people are doing wrong as I have never encountered a single problem with it yet. Great tool for the price.

One of the worst apps I have ever bought. It doesn't work no matter what you do.

Absolutely junk and useless app. Should not be selling this at apple site as app is nonfunctional. Money should be refunded

Does not work. Don't waste your money.

Can't get this app to do anything useful. The instructions consist of some videos that are basically pantomime on YouTube. Not effective, and not entertaining. Lesson learned: don't buy any app that doesn't have enough reviews to show a rating. I'm posting this in hopes of saving someone else the same sorry result I got.

Apparently both my bf and I are pregnant and the sound of my own heartbeat does not match up my pulse. Sounds like I just ran a marathon but I've been laying here. As for my belly, I'm pregnant and well apparently my BF is too. You can hear the baby's heart beat in his belly as well. There should be a law suit filed against the creator. Don't be naive and save your $.99

Terrible. Didn't work. Online videos are mimes. Really no voice directions just dumbo, the mime. Not even 1 star.

Waste of time

I was doubtful but this really works!!! I don't ever review apps but I had to on this on :)

The name sounded good but doesn't really work. And the ui was designed with no user in mind. Not even settings function within the app. Can't even choose to stop the endless loop of playback of nonsensical sounds. Don't even know when the recording begin and when it ended. Just a bad, bad and bad app. Don't pay money for it.

Doesn't work

It always give the same sound I need my 99 cents back coz it doesn't even worth my attention .. Thieves
