Great App - nicely done - full of information
Med74
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 wouldn't really think of on your own, and therefore it helps you become well-rounded in your interpretation. And.... I mean, come on - it's only $0.99!!! You can't even buy a Starbuck's 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.
version 4.1 upgrade is dissapointing - analyzer is a pay extra feature

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. It's just a yes no decision tree that goes through a few basic steps though. Nothing that warrants an extra fee.
Beautiful app

Downloaded this app a couple days ago. It's great. It's very thorough, and the sample ECGs are very clear (maybe the previous reviewer didn't realize you can pinch to zoom!). They are easily the highest quality strips of any of the ecg applications. I also like the Interpreter. It's great for anyone from beginner to intermediate! I would definitely recommend this app! Easily the best ECG app available.
Possible Additions

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

I'd 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
update now works on iOS4!

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.
