The best thing about Tiny is that it doesn’t require any addition accessories for your iPhone. Simply remove your iPhone’s case, turn its volume up to max, and place its microphone against your stomach with a slight tilt to the left. You may need to move around slowly to find and record your baby’s heartbeat, but it’ll be worth it. The app can be used as early as week 20 of your pregnancy, but best results can be found at week 25 or later.

You’re pregnant and want to document or share the experience.

You’re in search of a medical grade device. This is a novelty app.

The app also includes payment history, bill analysis, and the ability to share data between the developer’s other finance apps.
