### 5/5 — Love it and the idea

*2021-05-14*

Great futuristic device, just got it and it a lot of fun! I’m looking forward to what Thinklab will bring to the future of medicine devices. :)

### 1/5 — Thinklab One Doesn’t Work with iPhone or iPad

*2021-05-12*

I was really excited when my Think One arrived. I have spent four years trying to use it in a clinical setting connected to either my iPhone or iPad and have yet to make it work usefully. The website clearly indicates it works with iPhones and iPads but when you look for the app it is not available in the United States.  I will forgo trying ThinkLabs to use the Thinklab One & order a Littmann CORE.  I consider the $500 spent on the ThinkOne wasted money.  … Live & learn not to believe that a company’s website says a medical device will do.

### 1/5 — Doesn't load on iPad 4 iOS 10.3.3

*2020-06-05*

Screen layouts do not display properly on my iPad. This adversely affects the functionality of the app. For example, I cannot switch to the lung view because the share symbol lies on top of the lung toggle, and so th app wants to share the heart information instead.
