Ratings and reviews

Overall using the app was easy and it helped to see the timing and rhythm you need for the compressions. I liked it my only downside was that I had to have tech support help me get into the app and that took a while to fix it. The tech support representative was very polite and professional when responding to me.

The app doesn't accout for the button location for using an Android on the chest compressions, more applicable for an iPhone based on the graphic they showed, so it was kind of tricky getting a solid hold on my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. It would be easier to hold the phone at the base while doing the chest compressions; no buttons to worry about at all.

I was glad to have this as an option to renew my CPR certification. I have no idea how many times I've been certified at this point, but this app gave me a convenient and fairly quick re-cert. The information was thoroughly concise. The only "problem" I encountered was finding a cushion of appropriate depth to use for compression practice, but after a few tries, I found a suitable one.
