Excellent tool!
Learned about the app in my CPR class. Very helpful :)
Absolutely recommend
Really accessible to quick response info. Had to use it when my Brother got stung by a jellyfish and went into cardiac arrest. Called 911 and treated him while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. As a Firefighter, This app can be really helpful for people.
App won’t work
Freezes every time you try to log in. Reinstalled twice with no luck.
Preparedness
Great App, only gave it 4 stars since you removed the emergency preparedness features, especially the interactive shopping list for emergency kits
No information on high blood pressure
Someone is having a hypertensive crisis. I searched blood pressure and the only thing that comes up is nose bleed. Pretty sorry app.
Doesn’t work after the new update
App doesn’t show any information/ content after the update.
Update set home location wrongly with no way to change
Has become harder to use and more restrictive over updates Very disappointing
