I tried everything including turning off my BT to ensure it wasn’t connecting to something else. But audio on my phone works it’s just the “play heartbeat” button that doesn’t play anything. If there’s anyway to fix that it would be awesome! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that everything is operating smoothly for you overall.

I don’t know why the menu isn’t at the bottom like in the photos on the App Store page. Can you make it so that users can adjust text size? And change the position of the menu? Thanks! ### 2/5 — Hab die App vor eigener Zeit gekauft *2022-01-28* Nun wird ein Abo eingeführt. Ich gehe davon aus, dass die Funktionen und der Umfang der App (wofür ich bereits durch meinen Kauf bezahlt habe) für Käufer wie mich, auch ohne Abo, erhalten bleiben. Laut Apple‘s AppStore Regeln dürfen Funktionen und Inhalte einer App für die man bereits bezahlt hat nicht entzogen werden und dafür nochmal Geld verlangt werden. Ich bitte den Entwickler um Stellungnahme bzw. Klarstellung. **Developer response:** Ja absolut. Allen bestehenden Nutzern unserer Apps wird kein Abonnement berechnet. Danke, für ihre Frage. ### 4/5 — 特别好 *2021-08-13* 特别好 ### 4/5 — Apple Watch *2021-04-11* Is any option to sync the app with my apple watch and see in real time how the heart is beating? Instead of a general heart, to have my own heart beating ### 3/5 — Review *2020-06-09* Great information how ever, the pins are really off so it makes it hard to understand ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-05-18* Want to be a doc now **Developer response:** What an endorsement - thank you Kate. Why not... ♥️ ### 5/5 — 中文 *2020-05-02* 可以适配一下中文吗 **Developer response:** 感谢您的反馈意见。我们正在研究 2024 年的多语言选项。 ♥️ ### 4/5 — 很不错，感谢开发者！能增加汉语支持吗？ *2020-05-01* 如题！ ### 5/5 — 不错 *2020-04-30* 好，可以很直观的观察。 **Developer response:** 感谢您的客气话。 ♥️ ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!! *2020-04-11* By far the best anatomy app!

Incredible animation. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this feedback Tony ♥️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 30 Sekunden dann Abo Pflichtig *2025-04-27* Ohne Zahlung nur 30 Sekunden nutzbar also absoluter Schrott diese App ### 1/5 — The Quiz Answers are wrong… *2023-11-13* They need to be “peer reviewed. High levels of LDL “DO NOT” decrease the risk for heart disease. ### 1/5 — Pocket heart *2023-05-23* Not happy with this app. Not what I expected. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback!

It said the vagaries nerve is the 12th cranial nerve, the tricuspid valve consists of two cusp and is on the left side of the heart. There are more. ### 1/5 — Disspointed for the price *2013-06-25* I am a cardiac surgeon and a great fan and user of pocket heart one. But on getting the iphone 5 it didn't work well as you couldn't move the heart around easily, so I was waiting for an update to fix this bug... but the update never came. When I thought I would have a look for another heart app I found Pocket Heart 2. the screen shots looked great and I thought that it would be far fancier and I saw a view of the heart in the chest and thought, great this will show patients everything. So I paid the £7 rather than pocket heart ones 99p, but all you get is essentially the old pocket heart that rotates around again, an annoying heart beat that is not at all realistic that you have to turn off to stop yourself throwing the phone across the room, and you cannot even zoom in as much as last time, eg to see a surgeons view of the mitral valve. None of the additional information is animated and is just out of a textbook. What a rip off for the price, rather than just updating what was a nice little app last time. This would never have happened if Steve Jobs was alive !! ### 1/5 — Disappointed and too expensive *2012-03-27, version 1.2* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pocket Heart *2025-04-23, version 4.0* I love this idea ### 5/5 — Love this❤️ *2023-03-02* With all my Heart ♥️ **Developer response:** Many thanks for your kind words Pepe! ♥️ ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2022-06-14* Even for a layman like myself, it is very intuitive, educational and user friendly. Strongly recommend. **Developer response:** Many thanks for your kind words IQ01! ♥️ ### 5/5 — LOVE *2021-09-15* As a Cardiovascular Sonographer, this has been so wonderful for reviewing and refreshing my memory. Constantly quizzing myself and falling in love with what I do more and more daily!! **Developer response:** Many thanks for your kind words Gabriela. Delighted that Pocket Heart is benefiting you in your role as a Cardiovascular Sonographer. Keep up the great work. ♥️ ### 5/5 — Muy muy buena *2021-05-16, version 3.1* Muy instructivo. Es genial 😊 ### 5/5 — Nice app! *2021-04-04* This is a really nice app! But can you add 2 things... 1: can you make it so you can change the pulse of the heart? 2: can you add a feature where you can go inside the heart? Hope you guys have the best of luck! **Developer response:** Many thanks for these kind words and super suggestions! ♥️ ### 5/5 — Pocket Heart Great *2020-11-09* I am a visual learner!! I really enjoy using this app to review the normal blood and electrical pathway of the heart. **Developer response:** Many thanks for these kind words. We are delighted that Pocket Heart is of value to you in your learning. ♥️ ### 5/5 — Idk how to play this game *2020-10-01* Idk how to play this game ### 5/5 — 好用的，很直观 *2020-08-08* 能直观的看到心脏的情况，学习起来非常方便，但是美中不足的故事没有中文适配有点麻烦 **Developer response:** 感谢您的客气话。 ♥️ ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-07-24* Have most of the complete anatomy apps and this app reminds me of insight heart which came out last year. Anyway like that app is free as have pocket brain and eyeball anatomy. Would like to see future updates, like what happens with myocardial infarction. Also, could you show sinus tachycardia and arrhythmias. Also, could you do kidneys and pancreas as interested in renal failure and endocrine disorders. **Developer response:** Many thanks for these kind words of encouragement and for your super helpful suggestions. ♥️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
