Ratings and reviews

I don't use the app very often but after updating, the app is so much harder to use and find information. Why on earth did you add all kinds of goofy animations? It only slows down response and adds confusion. Get rid of whatever millennial developer you have and go back to simple. This isn't a social media app. It's first aid.

As a Disaster Relief volunteer this app is perfect for daily use, on the go, and user friendly.

The information is thorough, but the quizzes could be more comprehensive.
