Excellent, accurate and accomodating – Cardiograph Classic Review

I have been working with 3 different cardiograph apps for many months and this one, the now called "classic" cardiograph wins hands down in many respects. Unlike the new version of this app, the classic is more robust and manages readings in less favorable lighting conditions. Compared with the others, I've never had a situation where a reading was not possible. The others a painfully fussy, unless the light is dazzeling, they won't cooperate or take a brief sample and call it a result. The Classic allows multiple accounts for different family members and allows a library of readings to be collected and recalled. The classic looks more like a functional piece of medical equipment, the new version is a stripped down, minimalistic version without the more detailed animations of The classic. I also find the classic is quite happy taking a reading from one's little finger, or any finger for that matter, the results all being the same. Currently I'm in my 16 month in hospital and can verify the accuracy against the equipment to which I am connected. The doctors and nurses are all most impressed with the app, some of whom have it as well. Overall, I prefer the responsivness, looks and feel of the classic and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for this sort of medical app. As far as the new cardiograph, despite an upgrade, it is infuriatingly fussy about lighting, finger position and movement. I do LOVE the tracing which is far superior to the choppy fake look of the classic. If the best of both designs were combined we'd have a winner I think. Being able to measure and store other family or friends readings is a must however. Final word - a good robust design, nice medical appearance of the controls, good functionality, nice feel but rather fake looking heart beat tracing (the QT interval is terrible) this app wins hands down. Overall, an excellent job. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not remove this version. Minor graphical improvements are needed but the basics are perfect. I say this from 6 months use in a hospital setting. Developers, please contact me if you wish for additional details. Being used alongside professional hospital equipment gives me a unique perspective of the apps in question and how they have worked in a clinical setting.
