### 1/5 — Tech issues

*2023-11-06*

Unfortunately I purchased this to help prepare with studies and it frequently glitches/ won’t open. I’ve been able to access the content 3 times prior, now it just shows a blank screen. Although affordable, I’d suggest another app.

### 2/5 — Just ok

*2017-08-28*

This is not nearly as detailed as I hoped it would be. It gives only a brief description of the 12 leads, and doesn't delve into the meaning of them. For example, one shows LVH with "strain pattern," but doesn't tell you what LVH is, how to detect it, and what it means. Nor does it do so with the strain pattern. There are no quiz questions beyond simply showing you 12 leads. Very frustrating! This app is overpriced for what it is. It should be .99.

### 3/5 — Good start

*2014-07-16*

I was pretty underwhelmed with the design and usability. The content is good, the whole app just needs a facelift.

### 1/5 — Not great.

*2014-03-03*

Poor quality ECGs and no rhythm strips.

### 3/5 — Worth it

*2014-01-02*

I love this app it's teaching me 12 leads I didn't know. I wish it had multiple choice though. Other than that love it.

### 5/5 — Awesome resource

*2012-09-24*

Well designed, good quality ecgs you can zoom on, good variety of cases and clear explanations. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Great EKG review

*2012-05-22*

Great EKG review.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2012-05-08*

This is a great app. I have recommended it to my paramedic students.  Rob Theriault, Georgian College

### 4/5 — Good

*2012-04-22*

As a paramedic I love having the ability to test my diagnostic ability for 12 leads. This is a good program to see a lot of interesting ECGs. Its limits are that it is not a "great" teaching tool. It does go a little into the diagnostic criteria for each slide but you need to already have a pretty solid background in those areas for it to mean anything. I unfortunately had a pretty poor classroom education for 12 leads and have had to take it upon myself to learn as much as I could. Overall a good program.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2011-11-20*

As a new paramedic, I really need a handy tool to help me stay sharp on 12-lead analysis and this app delivers. Its sleek, simple design eliminates all the noise and lets you concentrate on making the crucial decision: Do I activate the cath lab? I hope the designers continue to update and add more 12-leads for conditions beyond the AMI. There are a handful of them here (Brugada, WPW, etc.), but in this case more is better.
