Works until it doesn’t

I’ve loved this app so much over the last several weeks, it worked great with my Sonoline B Doppler until suddenly it has “calculation errors” with the heart rate and won’t let me send them anymore because of that. I’ve done all the things, restarting the app, uninstalling and re downloaded, restarting my phone, making sure the app was updated - nothing fixes the issues. I’ve emailed support and hope for a response because it’s frustrating to have it work until it doesn’t.

Great app for tracking HR

This app is fantastic and keeps my baby’s heartrate saved so I can monitor and track the beats per minute. Only flaw or suggestion to the developers is when I’m recording the sound from my phone on the Doppler, a lot of times it says error and doesn’t save. The sound is very clear so it takes em about 5-6 tries before the app will successfully save and calculate a heartrate. Just a suggestion I’m not sure if it’s something I’m doing wrong but the sound is clear on the Doppler and the phone isn’t too close or too far from the appliance, and the error occurs. Thank you!!

No way to see history

I downloaded this app as a way to track my daughters HB since I have severe anxiety from a previous loss. Unfortunately, I do not have the ability to change any of the settings in order to track data over time. Says I denied access but was never given the option to begin with. Very frustrating.

Does not connect with app

The only reason I bought this was to have the. Recordings on my phone. It does not connect with the app for recordings. Makes it pointless to own!

Cant share

Getting frustrated that when sharing you cant hear or press play.

It’s cool but doesn’t work perfectly..

I have another Doppler that’s so loud and unreliable. We purchased this one bc the high ratings and the recording feature. When you share the recording it’s ONLY works for non iPhone users!!!! Which is so frustrating bc most ppl have iPhones in my family.

Waste of time!

I got this app because I heard it really works! I’m 21 weeks pregnant and waiting for my doctor visits to hear my baby’s heartbeat is so anticipating. This app doesn’t work at all! She was moving and kicking around and I couldn’t even hear that.

not all that accurate

i will do more than one test, and they always come out with different numbers… i’m only giving 3 stars because i do believe this app works better than other, but still isn’t all that accurate. why was my first bpm 180, and then the next 106…? it doesn’t make sense.

take it with a grain of salt

Doesn’t work

We had it work for one day, after which it’s all “could not calculate” we’ll try again later. It’s pretty much useless…

Great idea, but does not work as intended

I love the concept of this app; however, it does not work as intended. Nearly every time I try to record my baby’s heartbeat, the app tells me there was a calculation error. I have tried so many times to resolve this problem - I’ve reset the app, moved the doppler around, moved my phone closer or further away from the doppler while recording, but I still get the same result. I am using the recommended sonoline B Doppler, and I can hear the heartbeat clearly, but the app almost always has a processing error.

This would only be mildly frustrating if I could at least still share my recordings, but if the app fails to calculate the heart rate, it will not give you the option to share the recording. If I hit share most recent recording, it shares the most recent recording in which the heartbeat was successfully detected, not my most recently saved recording.

On top of that, because the app fails to calculate the heart rate, I get a reminder to add a new recording every time I open the app. It would be great if I could go into the settings and choose the frequency of these reminders (daily, weekly, turn reminders off completely, etc.) But this is not an option, so I am constantly told I’m late to record my baby’s heartbeat even though I literally just attempted for 30 minutes, but every attempt failed.

I hope this app can work out these issues soon.
