2.1.3

February 11, 2022

Made some improvement

User reviews

Garbage app

Crashes frequently and most of the features don’t work as advertised. This is garbage.

Can’t register

Keeps saying I’m not connected to the internet when I am, can’t get past that screen. I’ve used it in the past and it worked but I installed it on a new phone and I don’t get far.

Useless

If you don’t have a QR code because you bought it 2nd hand, you can’t bypass the registration screen. Useless.

New Features (That Don't Work)

I was really excited to see that stemoscope has now provided the ability to livestream audio over the Internet to another user. I was about to try that today but immediately encountered an error when the other party attempted to make a contact with me through the app. It no longer connects and says i have an Internet connection problem. Restarting my iPhone 12 Pro Max doesn't solve the issue, and even uninstalling and reinstalling the app doesn't fix it.

It's awfully disappointing to have new features added to an app that are immediately broken in release. I'm okay with the app overall, but broken new features reduce my star rating from a 4 to a 3

Good concept. Audio quality is sub par

Took 3 months to come from China I had almost given up. Totally useless if you want to hear heart sounds amplified via the iPhone speakers. Have to use earphones or headphones. Even with that the clarity and volume that one can hear from a cheap $5 disposable stethoscope is much better. Only positive I can think of is because of Bluetooth one can be away from the patient and still hear something. Maybe helpful in covid situations. Lung/ airway sounds are more audible - would be interesting to know if it’s easier to discern pathological sounds.
Expensive toy with limited utility
In the meantime time try taping it to a tree or a piece of stone and hear some molecular motion!— Just kidding ! This is a basically a cheap Bluetooth microphone with bad Chinese electronics encased in a small disc. You can hear spontaneous crackles and a reverberations when the iPhone is close to the instrument. Needs better MOFSETS and a better designed circuitry to be of any practical use.
