Ratings and reviews

This is a fabulous little app. There's quizzes In here. Why not have an evening of learning and quizzing. Using this app has reminded me of those little things it's easy to forget and not know you have. I've been a first aider from my Army days. I've found the quizzes bring the learning alive. If you get answers wrong be glad you did. You'll learn more by trying making mistakes. It's a great internal confidence boost.

This app and it's partner app for babies are excellent. They are clear in identifying symptoms, how to help and importantly when to call 999. I've recently attended a refresher first aid in the workplace course and have a suggestion for the developer- create a customisable (off,on/frequency) off a notification to retest yourself. user could set it to prompt one a week/month etc.

Easy to understand and covers loads of different scenarios where first aid might be necessary. It's reminded me how simple actions can save a life. If more people could take some time to top up their basic knowledge, many people who take ill unexpectedly would have a better chance if receiving quicker and correct help. Really good app.
