REAL USER EXPERIENCES

"During an overlanding trip in Utah, one of our group members was bitten by a venomous snake. 4 hours from the nearest hospital with no cell service, the app walked us through identification and first aid. The combination of medical expertise, offline functionality, and location-specific risk alerts makes GOES irreplaceable in my outdoor kit."
Richard, Overlander and Backcountry Explorer

“The assessment piece is so accurate. It literally asked the exact same questions that I would have asked as EMS. So, if you’re going to buy anything it should be that. I’m not even going to bother going through these wilderness medicine books anymore.”
Captain Rusty Rice, EMS & WFR Instructor

Ratings and reviews

Deleted immediately. Contains misinformation regarding snake identification, as well as where they are located. I didn't even bother getting into the suggested treatments considering how incorrect everything else was. As is, I wouldn't let family members trust this app.

Ingenious app! Easy to use interface and gives me peace of mind if I get into trouble in the wild. I also appreciate the landing page which gives me the local time and weather with the associated warnings!

GOES is a must have app. It encourages me to explore the outdoors safely and with confidence. Having gone through a knee replacemnt surgery for a while i didnt feel comfortable hiking and walking out of fear i would further injure my knee. As someone who loves hiking i found this very difficult. Once i learnt about GOES I felt a lot more confident to go outdoors again because i knew that if something were to to happen i would have the best resource in my back pocket.
