Instant ECG - Mastery of EKG Reviews

by The Apedog

Nice idea but a failure in execution. InstantECG crashes. Clearly not designed or coded by an experienced developer. Page traversal is a tedious chore; images do not enlarge and you can't read the text on them because the font is so small. Save your time and get a good book. InstantECG is poorly written and not worth a dime. Oh, and if you try to provide freedback to the author, InstantECG disappears!!! Pretty neat trick!! If I could, I would give zero stars.

My cell phone company does not support Apple Watch. They use AT&T cell network but to get cell on my phone I have to have Verizon or AT&T which are more expensive.
The programing on watch takes quite a bit of learning so I am hesitant to review watch.
The fall feature needs some work. Did not know I fell. But when I clap hands it asks if I fell.
The watch fact has too many different faces and they keep changing when I don’t want them to.

I’m disappointed as some rhythms such as SVT require an additional 4.99 payment on top of the 5.99. There’s a free ECG app that actually provides most key rhythms and it also syncs to Apple TV. For some reason I thought InstantECG would provide more rhythms, thus making fees acceptable, vs. the free app. I was sadly mistaken. In fact, I don’t use InstantECG at all. The free one is much better and the live views are identical to what you would see on an actual electrocardiograph (black background with green traces)

Concise, portable reference with helpful visuals. Also contains quizzes to help reinforce critical concepts. Perfect for practicing during downtime at work. I’ve been a nurse for over 20 years, but have recently switched to cardiology, so have needed to enrich my understanding of 12 leads beyond identifying basic ACLS rhythms, which this also is super helpful for.

In the middle of Paramedic School, wanted an app that would help me study Cardiology and Arrhythmias without having a big book to tote around. Got more than I expected from InstantECG. Definitely helps to visualize arrhythmias and explain the causes. Keeps me from having to hound the instructor day and night and lets me test myself on the content.

I’m a paramedic student and like a lot of other student reviews I love InstantECG . It’s convenient and the information is concise, just the facts. One thing I’d find helpful is if you included National Protocol treatments for the specific rhythm you’re looking at (shock, cardizem, adenosine etc) along with the dose. That would make InstantECG even better than it already is

I'd love to give this 5 stars. The only drawback is InstantECG closes every time I turn it to landscape on my iPhone. If an update would fix this. 5 stars all the way.

InstantECG is phenomenal. I'm utilizing it daily to help me get a greater understanding of rhythm interpretation. Great app for the beginner or advanced clinicians. A life saver for a student in paramedic school like myself.

I’m a paramedic student and i downloaded InstantECG to help me memorize rhythms. I like that it explains what it is and has test to help you learn. Ive used other stimulators that I found as websites but not any good apps until finding this one.

It’s a fun and easy way to learn the basics of EKG’s, all on the comfort of your phone! I find myself doing it all the time with little bits of free time, whether that be waiting in a long line, in between sets at the gym, or any other free time! Thank you for the great resource.

I’ve used this throughout med school and into practice. Very helpful. Can use it as a quick review if I have trouble remembering criteria for a specific rhythm or I can use it in quiz mode to keep my skills sharp. Highly recommend InstantECG.

InstantECG has really helped me better understand and build on my learning from nursing school. Definitely worth the money

by Rnwithheart

So far, it’s the best ECG app that I’ve found. I work at a very busy cardiac hospital and precept new nurses and nurses new to cardiac. InstantECG helps me show and explain different rhythms to them. A picture is always worth a thousand words.

This is incredibly helpful starting out to learn 12 lead. In fact it still teaches me things and reminds me even now. Well worth the money...

I’m a paramedic student and like most other medic students who have trouble reading the squiggly lines, I started looking for an ECG app and downloaded this one first and didn’t need any other app. I will DEFINITELY recommend InstantECG to my fellow medic students!

by Ulgrad

InstantECG is exactly what I needed to help me understand rhythms and to make everything click! Thank you for making InstantECG with students in mind, and also for making it affordable for students! Thank you!

This is a study app. It does not give ecg/ekg
I bought this because of heart conditions so I can check my heart.

I was upset when I wrote this. As a past EMT 1A in training for EMT 2 (got hurt on job) this is a great app. As a reference and teacher. I wish that it was available in my time.

I’m an EMT trying to take ACLS soon and just expand my knowledge in general. InstantECG has been super helpful in doing that while I’m on the go and can’t necessarily pull out all my books to study. Lots of good information here. Obviously not a replacement for a good cardiology textbook, but a great supplement on the go.

by Cait628

Current nursing student in my last semester studying under critical care and InstantECG has been a nice study aide when I'm on the go. I'm able to read ECGs better each day. My only suggestion is more variety in the quizzes and maybe some different strips of the same rhythm to make it a little less convenient. Awesome app though, I'm very thankful for it!!

by TTLady

I purchased InstantECG and opened it up the other rhythms as well. It ended being a little less that $10. I think it’s worth it, I enjoy seeing and hearing the rhythms, some even have real world examples of EKGs. Between InstantECG and my note cards I made to go with the rhythms, I feel confident in recognizing the ones that are on my certification test.

InstantECG does a great job of giving the information needed for ECGs. I haven’t used the in app purchases though. The included material is well thought out and present in a clear and concise way. Great job guys! 👍
