Ratings and reviews

There are basic spelling and grammar errors. In some cases, a sentence is not finished. There's a case where a treatment is mentioned before you are taught that treatment. I attended a first aid class where a paramedic advised the use of this app. I mentioned that it has errors & become more convoluted because of updates. He showed me his phone - he had the old, clearer app. The new app has some good info that is not communicated well. It needs serious revision for basic English & concision.

So very very convoluted. They got too fancy trying to create a learning platform rather than an easy to access reference. I do not need to be stepped through one slide at a time. There is no quick reference to just search & view issues. They baby step you through a convoluted flow to get any information. Waste of time even when not in a hurry. Create a seperate app instead not this. Cluttered app, trying to be and do too much. Off to DL a more straight forward app.

I dont know what you guys talking about.. Easy to navigate and finished the whole course with no problems what so ever.. If you spent a few hours a day ,you can finish the whole thing in a day.. If there was some kind of certificate will be AWESOME.. Was a refreshing for me.. One question only,how to get a certification printed it ,and use it for future volunteeering applications with Red Cross? THANKS GUYS!!!!!
