Why 5 stars is now just 3 !!

A year ago I bought the KardiaMobile 6L when I was diagnosed in A-fib. I used it twice daily to monitor that condition until 6 months later when an Ablation procedure corrected my A-fib. The device and mobile app functioned perfectly! Thus my initial 5-star rating! However, 2 weeks ago Alivecor developers put out a new mobile app version which now INCORRECTLY tells me that my reading is inverted! Instead of IMMEDIATELY putting out a new version to correct this software “bug” their solution is telling users to turn off inversion detection! IMHO (as a 40-year IT professional) that is SO NOT an acceptable solution! We are talking a HEART monitoring device here folks - not a shopping app or a game or some other non-critical software! Where is the urgency to get this fixed? In my IT world (working for a bank) this level of poor quality control and then the slowness exhibited to fix it would not be tolerated! Thus I currently rate this product just 3 stars! Let’s step up your game AliveCor!

Perfect tool

After having a quintuple bypass, we got cardio mobile to monitor my heart. After a few other complications. The cardio mobile device has been a fantastic tool to show my doctors. The progression why I am not at the hospital about how my heart is doing. Fantastic tool couldn’t be more happier. John T

Kardia 6 lead

Am very happy with this purchase. It shows me when my heart is playing nice and not. Gives me peace of mind as I live 4hours from nearest hospital. It never tells us we are having a heart attack and I’m okay with that. I know my body and when I should seek help. I lived through a Bi-Lateral SCAD and lived to tell about it. Thank you Kardia for making me be in control❤️

Awesome little gadget.

I purchased my Kardia mobile years before they were “cool”. This little gadget actually diagnosed my intermittent a fib. Every time I went to the Cardiologist I was in normal sinus rhythm. My cardiologist reviewed many of my six lead Kardia mobile EKG’s to see the rates and rhythms, leading to a diagnosis and need for a cardiac ablation to assist with my heart condition. I continue to monitor my heart via Kardia Mobile and both my Internist & Cardiologist find this information helpful and legitimate. ( I think I need to upgrade to diagnose more dysrhythmias) I have done hundreds of six lead EKG’s over the years and it just signaled “low battery”. Now I need to figure out how to change out the battery……..maybe I’ll call customer service and ask about upgrading. I’m sure their technology has come along way since my original purchase in 2020.
I am a Registered Nurse and a Nursing Instructor and I always use my Kardia Mobile for “show & tell”. It’s an ongoing world of comfort and valuable information for $100.
Do your doctor, yourself and your family a favor.

Quick Heart Evidence

I was diagnosed with SVT decades ago, but nearly every time I'm hooked up to an EKG monitor at the cardiologist, or they attach a Holter or Zio Patch to record my heart arrhythmia episodes ... nada, zilch, nothing ... everything is "normal." However, a few days ago, while I was at the VA Clinic, my Apple Watch (Beat Watcher app) alerted me to an elevated heart rate of 127 ... so I pulled out my Kardia 6L EKG device, and I was able to record a tachycardia episode and give the readout to my doctor. Some of my episodes occur while I'm sleeping, in which case the Apple Watch (Beat Watcher app) wakes me up, and since the Kardia 6L is always near me, I can grab an EKG even in the dead of night. I never go anywhere without my Kardia 6L. Thanks for making this affordable portable EKG device. I regularly recommend Kardia 6L to other veterans with heart conditions. I purchased my own Kardia 6L, but I have since learned that the VA can prescribe Kardia 6L to qualified veterans.

(Suggestion): (1) Please add a "Siri take EKG" Siri shortcut so that we can quickly use the Kardia 6L without having to fumble with the app, especially useful when I just woke up. (2) Please add "Dark Mode" - opening Kardia in a pitch-black room is blinding.

The kardia app was extremely useful as I was able to share the readings that are were in the app with my cardiologist. The doctor was then with the saved readings over months was able to confirm a diagnosis. Amazing tool!

FANTASTIC PORTABLE HEART MONITOR

I am a doctor and have had several episodes palpitations myself recently. I purchased this (?$AU 200 I think???) several years ago for my daughter who was having panic attack palpitations but have found this device recently EXTREMELY USEFUL for my newly diagnosed Atrial fibrillation episodes. Definitely worth it.

The word enjoy should be changed to convenient. Other than that it’s a very helpful tool to help keep track of my ECG outside of going to the local hospital.
