Ratings and reviews

It's really good but I have a few problem.Problem1. Sometimes even if I choose the right answer(s), it still thinks my answer is wrong(though that could be me choosing wrong).Problem2. Sometimes ✅ gets switched with false and ❌ with true.Problem3. sometimes the pick multiple choices also needs to pick the wrong choice also to get the next button appear. All things considered,10/10 if fixed but for now 9/10(will edit anymore if there's more bugs)(also,sorry for my terrible English and writing.)

Other topics not on the main screen hard to navigate to and find, need to search, and using symptoms didn't seem to work, so had to search specificly for issue. Hot doesn't prompt Heat Exhaustion or Heat Stroke etc. Luckily didn't need this and was just exploring the new app, rexommend that people explore the app before it is needed to get most out of it.

My only gripe is the start up customization where it asks about your environment and activities, it only allows one selection for each category. Personally I think it should allow for at least up to 3 boxes checked. Here in saskatchewan Canada temps can range from +45°C to -60°C, The majority of citizens spend a good portion of their life in both urban AND rural settings, family careers and hobbies alike. The selection ability is quite restrictive, but content is great!
