QUOTES:

"We haven't started any of the other app reviews by saying this, but you might as well download this app right now... This app is absolutely brilliant. It nails all the key heart tones down, has a beautiful user interface, and gives you further information about the murmur... We are confident in saying this is the best medical app we have ever used or reviewed so far."

"Reasoning is over-rated. In time, you will know a heart murmur not because you reasoned your way to the answer, but because you have heard it before. When confronted by Grandma you don't stop and think, "Hmm, elderly woman, short, white hair, smells funny... AH! By this train of thought, this is Grandma!" No. You know Grandma because you've seen her before."
-Dr. Larry Hansen, Professor of Pathology, U.C. San Diego School of Medicine

"Among the most popular products ever developed for the iPhone."
