Pros and cons of ECG Guide app for iPhone and iPad
ECG Guide app good for
But dont buy the interpreter, unless it is to support the developers, unlike the rest of the app it is so not useful... XD
This is a great app for everyone who works with ECGs. It covers everything and has a lot of real ECG samples. Easily worth the price. I would recommend it to everyone who uses ECGs. The best ECG app Ive used.
There are now at least half a dozen EKG Applications in the store and they are all pretty much the same, except this one. It stands out in the crowd by taking you from the basics to running a cardiac arrest. The updates have not taken away from this great App. but rather enhanced it.This Application still does what it claims to do and does it extremely well - FIVE STARS ! ! !
This app is amazing and I use it all the time. There are so many examples its awesome
This is an AWESOME APP!
As a Cardiology Technologist, this app is great for refreshing or learning more
about the multitude of different rhythms that come through the E.R.
Worth the purchase price!!!!!!
Great app. Any simpler and it would be oversimplified. And medicine cant be oversimplified or else you face dire consequences. Highly recommend as an awesome source of ECG info
Some bad moments
To much information if your just learning. Needs to be more simplified.
Is well organized and logical on order and content. However, the notes are too condensed in places as to render the message difficult to understand, as if you were reading someone elses class noted and just didnt quite understand them. I read ECGs fairly frequently but still didnt find the info clear enough to understand in places. Also, some ECGs dont really demonstrate the text (eg Wellen syndrome), with the text stating there is no ST elevation but the ECG clearly shows it. It makes me doubt the info presented in other topics.
Useful program, but totally unreasonable to ask for another $8 just so you can use it effectively on the iPad as well. I would expect my apps to sync between devices. Im not interested in paying for the same thing twice.
Please update. The samples need to organized better. Videos and sounds of common rhythms would be helpful. Lead placement needs to be explained in a more simpler fashion, maybe with some pictures.
While Im not a fan of the organization of this app, nor the way it displays rhythms, it is a decent ECG reference. Would like a little more from this program... movies would be nice.
I bought this app for $5.99, it advertised for 30% off. The very next day it was on sale for $0.99!!! What a rip off. DO NOT PAY MORE THAN $0.99 FOR THIS APP. Else you will be throwing your money away!
