Ratings and reviews

Several negatives: No search function I could find. Nothing on childbirth. Description says no ads, lots of ads (I don't mind the ads as much as the falsehood). Font and readability is pretty so so = light gray on white for much of the text. The info is ok (a bit verbose). There's better apps for similar stuff.

Very informative and even has a feature that shows the hospital(s) that are close to your current location.

Great guide to help and maybe even save a life.
