Eko: Digital Stethoscopes helps healthcare professionals enhance physical exams when paired with a compatible digital stethoscope. The app can flag structural murmurs, AFib, tachycardia, and bradycardia, while guided multi-point exams support systematic evaluation of heart and lung sounds.
Listen wirelessly, capture and replay recordings, annotate ECGs and stethoscope sounds, manage patient profiles, organize exam data, and securely share PDF reports or recording links with trusted colleagues and compatible EHR systems. Feature availability may vary by device, membership, and country. Eko is intended to support—not replace—professional medical advice.
Users appreciate the app's ability to record, amplify, and share heart and lung sounds in collaboration with the Eko stethoscope, highlighting improved sound quality and a generally simple interface. However, common complaints include frequent bugs and poor audio playback, limited Android functionality compared to iOS, requirement of constant internet connection to access recordings, cumbersome filter switching only possible via the app, and account creation issues. Users value customer support but desire more stable and user-friendly experiences, especially for prehospital and high-intensity clinical use.
Pros
The app allows recording and sharing of heart and lung sounds, which users find useful for collaboration and consultation.
The noise cancellation and audio filtering features significantly improve sound quality, especially in noisy clinical environments.
The app interface is generally considered simple and organized, making it relatively easy to navigate and use for basic functions.
The integration with the Eko Core stethoscope device enhances the clinical utility, providing amplified and clearer auscultation sounds.
Customer service has been responsive and helpful in resolving issues for some users.
Cons
The app frequently experiences bugs and glitches, including freezing, auto-recording loops, and poor audio playback quality.
There is inconsistent functionality between Android and iOS versions, with Android users lacking features such as background audio playback and library access.
Requirement for constant internet connectivity to record and access recordings frustrates users, especially when offline use is necessary.
Account creation has issues, including poor email validation and UI frustrations, which hinder user experience.
The app does not allow switching audio filters directly on the device, requiring multiple steps on the app, which is cumbersome in clinical settings.
Recent reviews
Finds the device but does not connect and no help from Eko support. I have contacted support but no response on this issue. Attempted to make a scheduled appointment on their site but received an error code. No phone number to call. The app states the Core 500 device is found but will not connect. Cannot use the stethoscope without the app.

Went to reinstall the app to start using my stethoscope again after months of leave from work only to find the app is no longer compatible with my device — the same device that I used the last time I used the app. What gives?
