“Useless scam — Absolutely useless. When I initially purchased the stethoscope basic features like recording or sharing were included. Physicians do not need AI analysis. They need to save a file. Now you can’t even assign a patient name…”

What we measured
Each line is a measurement published as a measurement, never a verdict.

Themes reported by reviewers
1 theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
90% or more five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence about the app, not a finding about it.

What the analysis found
App-specific findings, grouped by what each one rests on. How they are graded lives on its own page.

A single kind of evidence. We publish these because withholding them would be the bigger distortion, and we do not treat any of them as a finding we stand behind.
Reported by users: Paywall blocks the basics
The core of the app — not extras — sits behind payment, or previously-free function moved behind a paywall.
What we saw: Paywall blocks the basics: raised by 6 distinct reviewers (4.0% of 151 reviews scanned)
Highlighted reviews
Representative public review excerpts shown as user reports, not Appworthy audit evidence.

“Was a splurge, now Worthless without subscription — Expensive. When I purchased the Eko I was willing to pay a premium for this commodity product given its additional functionality. I’ve highly recommended this to colleagues. Any useful…”
