Pros and cons of First Aid: American Red Cross app for iPhone and iPad
First Aid: American Red Cross app good for
Very helpful and useful app to use. Keeps me on my toes and up to date in case of an emergency
The rural safety quiz is still there but not the initial information where you can see it. It is up at the top with the slideshow with information about flu pandemics, but its better to have it with the rest of the information, or in both places.
The poison information needs more fleshing out. And theres some useful spelling and grammar checks to be done. But overall great.
Everyone should have this on their phone, just in case. Even if youre trained in First Aid and CPR, this is great way to review.
Full of useful information about what to do in a life saving situation, I hope I never have to use it but I feel safer having it.
I work at the snack bar at my pool and we all had to take the online course and it is great information to know definitely 5 stars and would recommend it!
Easy to use and provides first aid information at your finger tips. Keep up the great work!
Some bad moments
Main content is hard to read due to low contrast font, especially gray lettering. This is inexcusable. Content should be easy to read black font.
I use this app to keep sharp on my CPR / AED / First Aid skills. Great app to have.
This is an amazing app for those who dont know anything about medical procedures.
This app teaches you the bare minimum but mainly suggest calling 911 if there is serious injuries.
Numbers of steps given:
Average of 2-3 steps
This is a great app for those who dont know what to do in these situations. Or for people who need a refresher in this subject.
Its to the point, and helps in any medical emergency, and it lets you learn ahead of time.
I got one question on the quiz wrong because they list the wrong RICE treatment. It should be Rest Ice Compress Elevate. Not Rest Immobilize Cool Elevate?!!
