Ratings and reviews

Great app for someone needing to learn basic first aid I love the quiz that you can take to test what you have learned

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.

Under the heading "About this app" it states "The app is ad-free and spam free." What is the first thing I see when I open the app? A full screen ad. Good thing it wasn't an emergency where every second counted. I mistakenly thought that's what this app was for, emergency first aid. Well played, developers.

What's new

We're always making improvements to the First Aid app. In this release we have fixed some bugs and completed some general maintenance.
