Fetal Doppler UnbornHeart app review: hear your unborn baby's heartbeat and view fetal heart rate information on a graph

Introduction

Few things in life are more amazing than giving birth to a child, and with this handy app you can connect your UnbornHeart Fetal Doppler to your iPhone and hear your baby’s heartbeat, while also tracking heart rate measurements on a detailed and convenient graph.

I’ve noticed that a fair few users have left negative comments on the iTunes description page for this app, stating that it is nothing more than a way of advertising the UnbornHeart Fetal Doppler tool.

While this app isn’t going to serve a great deal of purpose as a standalone tool, it should be understood that it is designed to work in conjunction with the Fetal Doppler so that you can view your baby’s heart rate measurements through your iPhone.

That aside, let’s take a slightly closer look at the features and interface to see if this is a worthwhile companion for the Fetal Doppler.

Listen to Your Baby's Heartbeat

Fetal Doppler UnbornHeart features a very simplistic user-interface, with more features and information becoming available if and when you decide to purchase the UnbornHeart Fetal Doppler.

If you download and install this app in the absence of the Fetal Doppler, you can still use your iPhone earphones to listen to a sample audio track or a baby’s heartbeat. This is useful for getting a feel for the kind of sound quality you can expect if you purchase the physical product.

I’m pretty impressed with the sample audio track, but of course the audibility of your own child’s heartbeat will depend largely on his or her positioning, and the way you use the Fetal Doppler.

Monitor Your Baby's Heart Rate On a Graph

If you tap the menu icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the interface, you’ll be able to take a look at the Recordings section. In here you’ll see a blank graph with the option to specify your Due Date so that you can place your recordings into a chronological context.

Tapping the graph provides a more detailed full screen landscape view, and I definitely think this could serve as a very powerful tool for monitoring your baby’s development from home, without having to constantly consult a doctor.
