Ratings and reviews

The lessons were good, although it is very annoying to not be able to navigate easily between lesson steps without going through options repeatedly. BUT... quizzes are dangerously bad. Often you cannot pass without entering wrong answers, including more than once where it requires multiple mutually exclusive options even when only one is correct. (Most obvious where it needed True AND False for one question, and all three answers to another. I cannot take out and object AND leave it in)

Confusing and MUCH worse than the old app. Instead of simple step by step what to do inftructions based on situations it is turned into "learning platform" with "personalized plan" and a red cross information and fundraising app. The howto section is much much shorter than before, and always starts with several questions to "recommend" a topic (and the recommendation is useless). Big step back!

This app is a good and informative app - it has been useful for some first-aid measures. However, I can't change the language of the app when I select Indonesia as my current location, it automatically sets the language into Indonesian. I noticed that there's a feature that will change the content of the info once you crossed a country's border - hence I do hope that it could be translated into other languages and not only the country's native language.
