Leave a Review Pocket Heart
  • Disappointed and too expensive

    The shape and motion of the heart on Pocket Heart is different from real heart. The free wall of right ventricle is not thicker than the interventricular septum. Moreover, the apex of real heart does not move toward the base of heart.
  • Excellent Patient Tool

    I am a heart bypass surgery patient and would have loved if my surgeon had this app before my surgery to help illustrate the working heart. He used a static plastic model but it was not nearly as good as this shows the dynamic heart. I can imagine doctors using this tool to help patients better understand the heart and its environment and, for medical students at all levels, this is great educational tool also. I look forward to more products from this developer. I have looked at competitor apps but this one had the best interface and smoothest navigation of those I looked at. It is packed with useful text information as well.

    Developer Response

    Thank you so much. Your kind words are really appreciated. ♥️
  • Good App for the price

    This is a good app for the price - major structures are well illustrated and the information is good - also, the 3D gives you great control.
  • Good, Could be Great

    Really great views and explanation of the healthy heart. Would be great to be able to toggle views of defects. Add options to view congenital heart defects and other deficits.
  • Great teaching tool

    Although a little disconcerting at first for patients to see and hear a beating heart on the iPad, this has been a great teaching resource for us, and one that children and adults can truly engage with.
  • Great app

    This app isn't just for medical students. It's an incredible journey in and around the heart. We have a child with congenital heart defects and pocket heart helped us to fully understand his heart...so much easier than cardiologists drawing pictures.
    Highly recommend this to anyone interested in the heart.

  • I Like!

    Stunning graphics!
  • Pocket Heart

    I really like this app - I use it to show patients and their families and they like how you can feel and see the heart beating on the iPad! More detailed text information would be great.
  • Dissapointed

    The one thing that this app had going for it was the graphics...and the graphics are very poor quality. I would not recommend buying this app until this has been improved.
  • Great teaching resource

    Looking for teaching resources for my SAT class and came upon this app. Definitely will help me in my classes - highly recomended for quality of the information and the usability.
