This is the official support page for
iStethoscope Free, the new free version of the
highly popular iStethoscope Pro program. It has all the same audio capabilities and settings
as the Pro version; the difference is that it has adverts and it does not have the spectrogram
display.
Please note that this app is intended to be used for entertainment purposes and as a
demonstration of the technology. It is not intended to be used for the diagnosis of disease
or other conditions, or the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease and should
not be used as a medical device. We are working to develop fully certified iPhone apps that
may be used as medical devices in the future.
iStethoscope is hugely configurable, allowing you to change every major setting in the
program. Please provide your favourite settings as comments below, to help other users.
There is already extensive support available on the iStethoscope Pro
page so if you have a problem the solution may be there already. If you still have
difficulties, then please read the help pages and comments first. If you can't find a solution,
then leave a query below and I'll reply on this page within a day or 3. If you enjoy this
application, please check out the popular science book: The Undercover Scientist
