An editorial reading of the saved reviews
The idea is tempting: hear the baby's heartbeat with your phone without buying a doppler, and a couple of people claim they caught something late in pregnancy through headphones. But the vast majority describe the app barely picking up even their own pulse, giving noise, echo and interference instead of the baby's heart. A dangerous point people raise directly: failing to find a heartbeat can easily cause panic, so they advise buying a real doppler, and recording the heartbeat costs an extra 5.99.

What users experience
1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
The kick counter doesn’t work properly either. The app will not keep time if you navigate to another app or if your phone goes to sleep while you are waiting for another kick.
