Your experience does not match the WHO reports.
" Learning to interpret the sounds captured by the stethoscope can take years of practice Opinions processed by the ears of vastly experienced physicians can still differ. The stethoscope is quite simply “the art of medicine.”
Given these inherent drawbacks of traditional stethoscopes, the World Health Organization’s (WHO) diagnostic criteria for childhood pneumonia intentionally ignores respiratory sounds altogether.
This allows healthcare providers with minimal training who work in remote areas, often where childhood pneumonia mortality is greatest, to still diagnose and treat pneumonia. The drawback of the WHO not including respiratory sounds in its diagnostic criteria is that many children with pneumonia are incorrectly diagnosed and thus incorrectly treated, a potential danger to the health of the child and waste of scarce financial resources.

Accuracy in diagnosing coughs would be a huge change, saving enormous amounts of money and saving lives.
This app has enormous potential. The need is there.
