Kardia compatible?

Polski profile image
6 Replies

I'm thinking of buying the highly recommended 'Alivecor' cum 'Kardia'. However our smartphone is an LG Optimus 'LG_D605' Android Version 4.4.2

Can anyone tell me if they have used these together - Are they compatible? We don't really want to buy a new smartphone as well!

There's a list on the Kardia site here...

Look on the AliveCor website for full list of compatible phones and tablets.

If yours is not listed there then contact them through the contact us option on their website because they have additional information that is not published.

Thanks Koll and Peter. The list on the site looks very short and appears to only include very up-to-date phones. I wondered if anyone had any experience with this particular one? I know people have discussed their experiences with various phones in the past.

I've also sent Kardia a message, so am hoping for a positive response!

I knew that and that's why I suggested contacting them because they have extra compatibility lists.

I did that yesterday for my Nokia 640 Windows phone and they said that they only list the phones they have tested so I will not be buying one unless someone here knows better.

You can also use them with an iPad, it works through signal through the microphone - don't know if it would work with androids or googles though like this.

Point is it doesn't have to fit the phone - I use my original AliceCor which fitted the iPhone 4 with my new iPhone, even though the case doesn't fit, it seems to be the app not the device that varies and is completely different and that depends upon the platform and version you can use on your phone. The older phone versions seem to be far more clunky.
