Buy a book instead. ### 3/5 — Need more videos *2016-07-04, version 3.8* It pained me after paying $20 for the package, having to pay $10 for the related videos. I needed them so I bought them. My only concern is that there's a few more videos that should be on there. Please look into this. If it's a heart app. Look into as many diseases associated with the heart and post. I think for the money spent, more videos should be present. ### 2/5 — WAY TO MUCH *2016-03-02, version 3.8* If you are going to have almost nothing included on a initial download of a app. Then make it free with in app purchases. But charging $10 for a app that in order to be useful you have to pay another $10 for a random set of features (you can't even pick what ones you get first). I regret buying this app off the fact that I feel like I was just robbed. Do yourself a favor and seek alternative apps that are free till they decided to make this app not a rip off. ### 4/5 — Best out there *2015-05-18, version 3.8* I bought this app in an effort to find a visual way to demonstrate cardiac function as an electrophysiology to graduate nursing students. I ended up buying all of the in-app purchases and for the most part I am VERY impressed. There are a few ECG/EKG videos that do not have the correct rhythm displayed though. I would encourage review of these and correction. Otherwise a BEAUTIFUL product! ### 4/5 — Love this app *2014-11-13, version 3.8* Although there is no sound on the animations, this app is great for teaching. It would be an EXCELLENT tool for teaching if there was an option for sound. Overall the quality of the images and the ability to manipulate the heart is unbelievable and it can be used to demonstrate just about anything in the heart. We have used it in the cath lab to explain new procedures to the staff, as well as using it to explain to patients the way the heart works. Five stars if sound was an option! It would save time!! ### 3/5 — I can't win for losing on IPad apps *2014-10-12, version 3.8* There is no sound on the animation. ### 4/5 — Excellent Value *2014-02-18, version 3.7* I bought this app for my son who enjoys learning about the heart and aspires to be a cardiothoracic surgeon. The graphics are amazing but I have noticed some lag and freezing from time to time in rotating. I think the app would be even better if it incorporated audio like some of the others (or maybe I haven’t found it yet). Overall, I like it and I don’t regret the purchase. ### 1/5 — Alright but expected better *2014-02-13, version 3.7* Not really a fan of how laggy the heart rotates. It should be one fluid rotation when you move you finger. I also don't like how it doesn't come with all the animations, which you have to pay 9.99 to get 45 more videos. Quit being greedy 3d4. Other than that the very few animations you get are great and it's a very great visual of the heart. Very informative, just wish they weren't greedy on the animation videos. EDIT: Well I am changing my rating from 4 stars to 1 because I forked over the additional 9.99 for the animations and they still don't give you all of them!! They want ten more bucks for 8 more videos!! What a rip. Don't waste your time with this app. Better features from heart in essential anatomy. ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2014-01-11, version 3.7* Reviews of this app look good. However, limited sounds to app (found two). Have to wear earphones to listen to the sounds, why? Paid the £6.99 to find most of the animations/videos still locked. Ended up paying another £6.99 and still all videos not unlocked. They want a further £6.99 to release more. No extra sounds either, even after paying extra. Graphics good though, but all in all, very disappointed. Feel ripped off! Maybe expectations to high after looking at demos. Expected much better than what I paid for. ### 1/5 — Poo ui *2014-01-10, version 3.7* This app did all the hard work, then made a mess of the ui. Spinning and rotating hangs up for seconds at a time. Pins disappear when rotating, must do two step selection to turn back on. Instructions are opaque, worthless. Buy something different. ### 4/5 — Great app but animations shouldn't be an in-app purchase *2014-01-08, version 3.7* Just like its related apps, Heart Pro 3 is an excellent and accurate resource. It would be a better value if the animations were included in the price as they are in several of the other 3D4 apps. Resources on heart sounds and conditions, as well as resources on ECGs and Echocardiograms, etc. would really enhance this great app and make it a must have for students. ### 2/5 — Very basic. *2013-06-05, version 3.4* The pictures are wonderful, however there are very few pins to drop In the heart. The only things that are labeled are the arteries. The rest of the heart structures are blank but, you can create your own pins with some limitations. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Overpriced Rip Off with low resolution content *2021-01-26, version 3.8.3* So you pay $25 for the program ad then they want to sting you another $15 for the video content......nearly gave me a heart attack (pardon the pun) PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM 3D4MEDICAL Cheaper better options available ### 1/5 — Terrible *2019-02-23, version 3.8.3* All it is is a 3D model of the heart... that’s it and it costs 10 pounds. Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Taking your money &Run *2017-12-21, version 3.8.3* Really not professional or honest, I purchased the app then the videos inside the app, then later they stop supporting it & create new one asking you to pay again. This is fraud, where’s Apple store from this behavior? ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY *2017-11-18, version 3.8.2* No way is this worth $1 let alone $10. I was tricked into buying it thinking it would integrate into the newer program from these developers. This app is obviously on the way out and I wasted $20 (for a bundle of 4) for essentially obsolete apps. I will now ask for my money back. Ripoff. And of course, apple doesn’t let you look for the “most recent” review or even sort by # of stars, obviously in collusion with the app developers to obfuscate how good apps are...starting to really dislike apple (RIP Steve Jobs) ### 1/5 — Absolute trash *2017-07-08, version 3.8* Every single app I have purchased from 3D4Medical has been garbage and this one is no exception. I can't get a single thing to load and I am constantly getting error messages saying that the app is no longer compatible with my iOS version. What am I supposed to do, revert my iPad back to iOS 7 so that I can use these apps? I have tried deleting and re downloading but that doesn't help either. Total waste of money, I would not recommend anything from this developer and I will be leaving a similar review on every single app that I have purchased from them. ### 1/5 — Waste of Money, few features *2016-02-09, version 3.8* There are lots of fancy transitions between views, but so much missing. Cross-section view is limited and very poor. No echo views. Lots of expensive add-ons. This is crap and should be offered at no charge. Their essential anatomy app is much better. Too bad it doesn't include more extensive heart anatomy. ### 1/5 — No updates for > year *2015-12-15, version 3.8* This app and its series seems to have been abandoned by 3D4. They seem to be heading towards subscriptions model. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2015-10-21, version 3.8* I have purchased another app from 3D 4Medical that is great. I assumed this app would be as well. Don't buy it. It's okay, but not worth $9.99. -Your text books or other free apps will provide the same information. Once you get into this app, you will find the author wants even MORE MONEY to unlock other aspects to this app. -There are no heart sounds. -There is no systemic circulatory features with this app. It could be so much better. I think to make it worth the cost the locked features within this app should be included in the original price. Or they need to reduce the cost greatly! ### 1/5 — disappointing *2015-06-20, version 3.8* there is so much possibility with 3d rendering and anatomy. they didnt even bother to recapitulate simple echo views or 3d cross sections. just lazy. no updates since 2014, no development. just collecting the app purchase fee after a lacklustre initial programming job. i do like the colors, however. ### 1/5 — Rip off. *2014-05-08, version 3.7* Steals from 3 times and still can't get what you paid for. Don't waste your money. It'll keep having locked items the more you pay. The god reviews are from the developers obviously. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Superbe *2020-04-30, version 3.8.3* Animations très utile pour l’enseignement ### 5/5 — I love this app *2016-08-06, version 3.8* I use this app to demonstrate the procedures to our patients. Everything is clearer to them, and their family members when things are explained AND drawn for them. Their learning is enhanced. I spend less time re-explaining. One of the jewels of doing this, and drawing the bypasses, is that I can text the drawings to any family member present. They then, can and often do, explain the procedure to others. It's a win win! ### 5/5 — Why I like it *2016-07-22, version 3.8* OK, it isn't free, but I have found in like you generally get what you pay for. Sure it costs a few bucks, and to get the full features, you pay a little more, but the look on my patient's face when they FINALLY understand is utterly priceless..... ### 5/5 — Wow *2014-02-27, version 3.7* The graphics and 3d rendering are amazing! Best cardiac anatomy app on the market. ### 5/5 — Very educational *2014-01-09, version 3.7* I just started med school and this app was recommended by my professor. The slices are my favourite feature. There is lots of content included for the price you pay. I'm saving to purchase the animation packs! ### 5/5 — Love it and tip for user *2013-09-03, version 3.4* I love how comprehensive this app is and the slices are amazing. The additional animations are also very helpful indeed. I'd like to make reference to the user who is having issues with the app, in order to see more labels, you need to remove the layers. Top app! ### 5/5 — Arterio-sinusoidal & arterio-luminal vessels *2013-08-13, version 3.4* Please also add the venular connections or "vasa Thebesii" "Thebesian vessels" "vessels of Thebesius" Thank you. ### 5/5 — Cardiac rehab *2013-04-23, version 3.4* I love it and so do my patients ### 5/5 — The best *2013-03-28, version 3.3.1* I can assure you this app just rocks!!!! great work ### 5/5 — Amazing.... But *2013-03-27, version 3.3.1* The only thing I wish this app could do is work on my iMac without me paying more to have the same app just on a different device --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
