Bad quality app and Doppler

Spend a little more for a better quality Doppler. This app is also a load of bolony. The links never work, there is always a “processing error” when trying to record the heartbeat. Don’t recommend this app or this fetal Doppler.

Love it, but doesn’t always work

I used the Doppler religiously before I could start feeling my daughter, but now the app records the heart and says there’s an error and won’t calculate beats per minute. I just want to know that heart heart is within normal range, since she has a heart defect. Please fix this :(

First child

This thing has worked perfect and has given us peace of mind that everything is going well. I would buy this over and over for my first child.

Hi Crankshaftchev, we are glad you are enjoying the app. Congratulations and best of luck with the pregnancy! Thanks, The BabyDoppler RD Team.

Sound Problems and Harmful Notifications

I’ve been using the app off and on for about 15 weeks with the Sonoline B baby doppler. Every time I record baby’s heartbeat it is overshadowed by static in the recording to the point where the heartbeat is barely audible. I can’t send those recordings to family and friends with sound like that. I have to record the heartbeat with my camera and instead of the app to send to others. There is no static sound in real life, the heartbeat is clear as day in person, and there’s no static in the videos I take. Plus, the app will notify/tell you a recording is overdue 24hrs after the last recording. Recording that often is unhealthy according to my OB/GYN and high risk specialist. Do better Baby Doppler!

Hi Katie, the Baby Doppler is safe for daily use. But please continue to listen to the advice from your medical professionals. And sorry to hear you have had audio issues! If you could send us an email at support@babydoppler.com we would be happy to look into that so we can continue to improve our app. Thanks, That BabyDoppler RD Team

Helpful

It eases my anxiety. I’ve used my own heartbeat to determine when I’m possibly picking up baby heartbeat.

Hi Chuckalicious, glad the app is helping you! Congratulations and best of luck with the pregnancy. Thanks, The BabyDoppler RD Team.

Cant hear the recordings

I get an error after every recording and then I am unable to press play for a few hours. After I press play I don’t hear anything playing.. made sure the volume and sound is up on my phone.. very frustrating.

Working great for piece of mind

I am only 8 weeks along and after IVF o am more apprehensive that things are going good without knowing. So I purchased this and was so lucky to have found the heartbeat so early on! It definitely eased my mind and let me not worry so much. Thank you for making a wonderful product that lets me share my baby’s heartbeat so easily to my family and the information that is shared with it is very fun as well.

Hi Rebeccah80, we are glad you are enjoying the app and the share functionality. Congratulations and best of luck with the pregnancy! Thanks, The BabyDoppler RD Team.

Can’t save the audio recording locally.

Perfect device to listen to your baby’s heart. It would be great if we can save the audio recording so we can filter the noise.

Hi Hunter_FF, Thank you for choosing BabyDoppler! Glad you are enjoying our app! Thanks for your suggestion, we will look into possibly adding a feature like this in the future! Thanks, The BabyDoppler RD Team

Is this safe to use?

I used this app almost everyday this week with using my microphone on my phone realized I should definitely take a break?

Response from developer

Hi iitclyclhboyfkydgkoy, don’t worry, the Baby Doppler is safe for daily use. Although our Doppler’s ability to pick up your baby’s heartbeat is comparable to many medical-grade Dopplers used by Midwives, it shouldn’t be compared to Ultrasound technology that is offered in medical offices.  Here is an article that will give you a bit more clarity: https://www.verywellfamily.com/is-home-fetal-doppler-use-okay-in-pregnancy-2759785.

Doppler required

Why would you name the app baby doppler if it requires a 3rd party doppler to be able to record the fetal heartbeat?

Response from developer

Hi egiec81, the app is only intended as an accessory to our fetal doppler device the BabyDoppler. The App allows a user to record, archive, and share the baby’s heart sound, provides how-to videos and tutorials within the app on how to effectively find/detect the heartbeat. Feel free to contact us if any question at support@babydoppler.com.
