ECG Guide App Reviews

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!

Ive tried this and the other ECG apps for the iPhone. This is by far the best. The organization makes everything easy to find. Its fast and stable. It has a huge database of samples. The quiz feature is great for review! And the quick reference material is very helpful. Great job!! Highly Recommended!

This is an awesome app. Best medical app that ive downloaded. Its very valuable and has helped me numerous times. Id recommend it.

Downloaded this app a couple weeks ago. I have used it extensively and I have to say it is an amazing app. The design is great. The useability is perfect. It looks beautiful. One of the best apps ive ever downloaded. Nice work.

This is a great app! I love the huge library of sample ECGs. Great for studying and review. I have told all my coworkers about this app and they are all downloading and loving it. Thanks.

Downloading now. Sure Ill love it based on ALL GOOD reviews, except for the one complainer who was mad he paid full price. Anyways, happy its on sale now! **Update** Love the layout! Flows smoothly! Has way more strips than I could have imagined. Stuff way out of my knowledge base as a new RN grad. Yikes!

There are several ecg apps and this is my favorite. It had tons of content and ecg examples. It can help you learn to read ecgs or to read them better. I bought the in app purchase "Qx ECG Analyzer" to check it out. It adds to the usefulness of the app and is only 99 cents (I would have preferred though it be part of the original purchase). It asks you a few questions then offers suggestions as to what the rhythm might be. I will do a walk through: Heart Rate? <100 bpm or >100 bpm (these are buttons and you select one, I chose >100) QRS Width? <120 msec or >120 msec (I chose >120) Regular? Yes or No (I chose No) Then it shows "Candidate Rhythms" with Atrial Flutter at the top (with links to learn more or see samples of A Flutter) and also shows a differential diagnosis with links for other rhythms to consider. Once I was looking at an ecg with the iTouch turned sideways and I could not exit this ecg without quitting the app. I have not been able to replicate this issue again but it was just a minor annoyance in an otherwise stellar app.

This is my number 1 app for cardiology. There is a lot of information, it is well organized, and easily accessible. The ECG samples are great quality pictures, allowing you to zoom in and carefully view the smaller details in portrait or landscape mode. The main tabs (ECG Book, Samples, Quiz, Interpret) add a nice variety of ways to learn about ECG, quickly flip through real samples, and even quiz yourself both in a multiple choice style as well as using the ECG photos to test your interpretation of each. This new version (released June 3, 2010) added two new things: 1. A "Normal ECG" section: It is basically one page with a picture of a normal ECG and a basic description below. It is nothing huge, but of course an ECG app needs to have a page on what a normal ECG looks like. 2. The biggest new feature is the ECG interpreter, and it costs $0.99 to activate. The screenshots show you a quick example of it. It basically asks you "yes and no" type questions and in the end it gives you possible rhythms that could fit your criteria. That is basically it. However, in the results page, it gives you several links to the regular ECG app containing information on the suggested rhythms. Although this is information already contained in the main app, and you could therefore access it without paying the $0.99 Interpreter fee, it is nice to have it easily available in one page as all-in-one content-related to the possible rhythms. At first I felt that the $0.99 to activate the Interpreter was too expensive for what you were getting, considering that the general app also costs $0.99 and has a ton more information. But, I do have to say that it does give you suggestions to possible rhythms that you wouldnt really think of on your own, and therefore it helps you become well-rounded in your interpretation. And.... I mean, come on - its only $0.99!!! You cant even buy a Starbucks coffee for that price. So, in the end, you will have paid $1.98 for the app + Interpreter, and that is worth every penny. I give it 5 stars, and I highly recommend it to those with beginning and intermediate knowledge of ECG.

I would have been more than willing to pay for the analyzer feature if it was something really cool like a camera integrated script that would take a photo of an ECG and actually parse it out into specific readings. Its just a yes no decision tree that goes through a few basic steps though. Nothing that warrants an extra fee.

Strips barely readable----pure garbage

Downloaded this app a couple days ago. Its great. Its very thorough, and the sample ECGs are very clear (maybe the previous reviewer didnt realize you can pinch to zoom!). They are easily the highest quality strips of any of the ecg applications. I also like the Interpreter. Its great for anyone from beginner to intermediate! I would definitely recommend this app! Easily the best ECG app available.

Great app. It would be nice to have a section on alternate lead placements such as Fontane, Brugada leads etc.

Id like to give this app more than 1 star but it keeps crashing at start up so all I can say is nice title screen

Thanks!!!

I updated to iOS4 earlier today, and then downloaded the just released update to this app (v4.2) and everything now works great. I think the people who are having problems just need to download the latest update. Great app. Love it so far.

Not bad, it helped alot when studying for ACLS

If you own the iPhone version you should get an upgrade price.

Better then I expected. Get far beyond the 0.99 cents.

Nice app. Easy to use and helpful.

Thats why its only 99 cents. Dont expect to learn much.
