I loved this when I didn’t have to pay to record my findings. The stethoscope its self is great. but paying that much for a handful of pt I would record. is to much

The app is terrible, I downloaded it, got it set up, used the stethoscope once to try it, and showed no waveform. Now my phone screen is black and my phone is hot. I like the stethoscope but not the app.

latest update made the app unusable. I cannot get past the free trial screen despite already having an active Eko+ subscription. the app functions, even when accessible, are of little to no use regardless.

noise cancellation on my litmann digital stethoscope doesn’t work at all. There is no difference between turning the feature on and off.

Okay folks. Customer service came through. Check your font settings if you have a android device. I shrunk mine down a bit. And the rest of the setup instructions showed up. We need help with the app for Android, Samsung 9. And I have Phonak hearing aids. So the app for setup does really nothing. […]

Playing the audio back is absolutely awful. Every single recording has what sounds like someone punching or tapping on the stethoscope and mutes the audio for a second, which definitely is not there during recording. Cant export as an MP3 either, which is ridiculous. So sound is screwed up every single time, audio playback way […]

I love the product. The new upgrade on the app I am not happ with. I am hearing impaired and Bluetooth my EKO to hearing aides. The upgrade defaults to cardiac exam when opened. I find that I have to spend more time adjusting the settings for pulmonary exam of my physical exam is a […]

It needs to be more prehospital friendly or have an app option for prehospital exams. It is very helpful with the noise canceling, heart and lung sounds while transporting patients are easier to hear but to have to open the app, then go to app settings just to change it is a pain in the […]

The product is great and helps amplify and clear sounds. The app is garbage, you need to have the open to connect the core to your phone, and the app has terrible sound quality and makes pretty poor recordings. I’ve been trying to come up with a set up where I could effectively just have […]

So far this has been a waste of money. The app is bad. An internet connection is required to make a recording. However you won’t know you can’t store recording until after you’ve made the recording. Recorded sounds can’t be accessed unless there’s an internet connection. The Core device itself is nice. But the app […]

We were so pleased with the new app version. we got this stethoscope specifically for our little girl who was diagnosed ASD 3 years ago, the App back then was free, but we haven’t used the app for a while a couple of months after her surgery, new phone,downloaded the app and check on her […]

The update on the app has made it super glitchy! It starts recording immediately upon connection, taking control away from the user. It then auto saves every nonsense recording, and then, upon exiting the nonsense recording, immediately starts a new one. Which ends after less than a second without any input. Never allowing me any […]

update: first day the Android app supports the Duo. I guess the server’s traffic is overwhelmed. everybody is testing the app. and the Bluetooth connection is a little slow on my android device. otherwise, functioning as expected. thank you for a great product. original: Duo works great on my other iOS device. but my primary […]

So far so good. Good work on first gen app that records and plays back. I’d like to see an update that allows for pinch to zoom both the EKG and heart sound recording. it’ll make it easier to see in a larger format. As it is now, the tracing is a little underwhelming. id […]

I am pretty impressed with the Eko device and app so far. I am only using it as an individual nurse on the Med/Surg floor of a hospital, so I have not used it as a remote listening device with headphones, or to record and send to a provider. I mentioned this in my review […]

I have the Core. And overall the stethoscope is great. However the app leaves a lot to be desired. About every 45 days or so the app completely desyncs from my Core and then I can’t reconnect it to the app until I uninstall, forget the device, reinstall the app and reconnect everything. This is […]

Love the app and the amplification of the stethoscope. The two items separately are fantastic, but they don’t communicate like they should. App won’t run in the background, so I can’t record or wirelessly auscultate without my phone out and on. I also wish there was a way to switch between heart and lung audio […]

This is an updated review. My original review was one star because the couple of days after I installed the app it was very buggy to the point of being unusable. I reached out to customer service and that has since resolved. I don’t know if it’s because they did something or if there were […]

I was able to record an arrhythmia on a pediatric patient. When I went to save the rhythm, I was asked to pay for the app. After entering my card, the app went back and deleted the rhythm I was trying to save. For the next 20 minutes, it would record but it wouldn’t allow […]

buggy app, requiring an account to use my stethoscope and asking for my medical credentials is nonsense. I didn’t mind using an app to control this but connection issues abound and you don’t need all this data. constantly trying to upsell a premium subscription on a very expensive device, it’s possibly a hippa violation as […]
