Ratings and reviews

Some sections didnt open when I first downloaded the new version, but got onto Tom and he promptly kept me up to date on the progress and now it's working great. Great personal attention that is very rare these days and very much appreciated. This is a fantastic resource for anyone in the rescue arena with all the info you need for in the field operations with handy IC guides, vidoes etc and for use in regular training. Also have the hardcopy (which I need to update now that version 6 is out!)

great app, but I really wish they would send the update to the 5th Edition. I was unable to follow along in my Rope Rescue class cause the instructor was using the 5th edition while i still have the 4th. please send the update asap. thank you

I like the app but I can't find the video link on any of the pages or in the videos tab. I will give higher stars once fixed.
