Vital Application!! Even if you don't have any First-Aid training, this App can save lives, giving you the right information to help you deal with any emergency that comes your way, untill the real professionals turn up. Download this app, use the app and give yourself some useful knowledge that could save a life!!

ESSENTIAL APP! Even without utilising the excellent interactive fully up-to-date & incredibly simple 1st aid training this app makes accessible to everyone, YOU MUST HAVE THIS APP... As soon as you open it, another quick touch of the screen immediately connects you to local paramedics & emergency services in order to get help to you ASAP! There's also a simple to follow step by step guide instructing you what to do in different emergency situations as they happen. The difference of having & not having this app, could LITERALLY be the deciding factor of whether you, or someone you love lives or dies..! Get the BRC's 1st aid apps to save the lives of children & babies as well, THEY ARE ALL FREE!

You need to update your asthma attack information to make a clear distinction between a steroid inhaler (normally brown) and a bronchodilator (normally blue) - a steroid inhaler is no help during an asthma attack. Using the wrong one could put the person's life at risk. Otherwise good app to increase your knowledge of first aid.

It's clear that the developers of this app have successfully gamified the process of learning how to provide first aid. A trillion thanks cannot justify how brilliantly this app. has already benefitted (and will benefit) the lives of people around the globe. I commend you.

Essential Safety Equipment First, I am a Red Cross trainer. But I wanted these apps so much I got a smartphone. Even for me, they are great revision aids, and essential emergency equipment. They are also kept up to date with changes in First Aid advice.

Simple yet effective This is a simple cool little app to help refresh people's memories. First aid isn't something we use regularly (thankfully) so it's easy to forget. This app helps keep things fresh for those times you might need it.

Very in depth, very clear illustrations. This app lets you go over the tests again if you make mistakes. Covers a lot of first aid.

Susie Bruce April 12, 2016

Great app Keeps u up to date with basic first aid. You dont use first aid daily weekly or even monthly so great to read bk on what u hav learned

Capt Kim Mockett August 22, 2016

Don't panic And using this app will help make sure you don't. Most of us have some idea of what we ought to do, and the training and test pages can help us make sure we know what to do. In a real emergency, this app will help guide you through the required actions. Excellent app.

Andy Gardiner August 10, 2016

Great App Great app for refreshing those essential skills.. I'm encouraging all the FAR'S in our workplace to download.. would be good to have an email sent out on completion of the test as we could use that as proof of refresher training being done? The website version has a printable cert.

This app is great. It gives quick and easy bullet points to follow and the test yourself section at the end of each chapter reinforces what you have learned. The short videos at the beginning gives a great visual of the topic.

Amy Whelan July 11, 2016

Most sensible Ap on my phone Great quick easy guide to remind myself the basics, following a course a few years ago. All so important as you never know when you might need it. Hopefully I won't!

Christine Cusack This app is great for refreshing emergency first-aid skills. I enjoyed the testing senaros which helps with confidence if intervention was nessacery in accidents or emergencies 😀

Simon Johnson July 17, 2017

Excellent information resource. Easy to use in an emergency situation. One minor niggle, impossible to complete the 'prepare' test as not all valid options are presented.

Liz Park December 5, 2016

Very useful Has all the issues you might come across and helpful link to phone numbers if you are on your own.

Nick Fellowes October 16, 2016

Simple to use and effective! This is a great app for anyone (which should be everyone) wishing to learn or keep up to date with current First Aid practise. It's simple and organised enough to use at the site of an incident and is a great way to refresh your memory between courses.

Very easy to follow Every smart phone should have this app as standard, not a substitute for live training but even so could clearly save lives
