Are heartbeat apps bogus?

I was just curious if anyone has tried downloading a fetal heartbeat app? Was it worth the $5 or were you fooled?? So tempted to download one but I'm skeptical. What were your experiences?

  • What's it supposed to do? "hear" the heart beat? I've never heard of these.

  • Yes. Supposedly, you lay the phone on your belly and hear the heartbeat. Even as I'm describing it, it sounds ridiculous!! I'm just curious if anyone's had success with it. I don't want to waste the 5 bucks
  • Don't waste your money, this can't be real!

    Even if it does work, it is so hard to find the heart beat. You will only cause yourself more stress.
  • I asked a few friends about this- one girl said she only ever got a heartbeat during 3rd tri and it was still hit or miss.

    If this is an app for your phone you won't hear anything until mid to late 3rd trimester.
