### 1/5 — Calculator Missing!

*2022-04-25*

Best Part was the Calc included - just in case Your echo machine isn‘t calculating because you aquired a value in the wrong pattern…
Without Calc Not very helpful for exp. users because normal values and Their margins are known….

### 2/5 — Calculator removed

*2022-04-23*

I used and loved this app - but since the last update the calculator has been removed. Please get it back - then I‘d gladly give you 5 stars!

### 3/5 — MD2022b

*2022-03-31, version 3.31*

Like others have mentioned before me, the removal of the calculator function has dramatically reduced the utility of this ap. I would have rated it 5/5 before the update. I hope efforts are being put in to get regulatory approval to return the calculator functions.

### 1/5 — No more calculator

*2022-03-28, version 3.31*

Removed the calculator on the last version. The calculator was highly useful, was used daily.

### 1/5 — Calculations removed

*2022-02-15*

Since the latest update, all the calculations tabs have been removed

For example it is no longer possible to calculate an Aortic Stenosis with LVOT diameter, VTI values etc.

You will only find an BMI calculator there…

Do not update!

### 1/5 — Calculator removed

*2022-02-14*

This was the best feature of the app. Unfortunately has been removed, very disappointing. Recommended it to everyone now quite useless.

### 1/5 — Calculator function removed

*2022-02-13, version 3.31*

Calculator function removed as of latest version. Renders the app useless.

### 1/5 — Péssimo!

*2022-02-11*

Tiraram opção de cálculos…

### 1/5 — Gone are the calculators.  Obsolete app

*2022-02-08*

Previously EchoCalc was an App I recommended to all my colleagues, but with the latest version, the built in calculators have been removed effectively eliminating the App’s best function.  Disappointing.  I hope this is corrected soon.

### 1/5 — Calculator removed

*2022-02-07*

The updated removed the calf function. This app is now worthless. It’s faster to look at a piece of paper on the wall for cutoffs.
