Invaluable tool

I got the basic subscription ahead of a road trip / camping trip and it was invaluable to have. Not only did it help with smaller questions, but on the last day my wife had an incident at our campfire resulting in a few 2nd and 3rd degree burns. We used the assess feature to evaluate the severeness, perform first aid / wound care and get her to the nearest hospital. I was so glad I had the app ready and could rely on it in that situation.

So necessary in the outdoor space 🙏

I was recently on a hike in upstate NY and nearly stepped on a massive rattlesnake that came out of nowhere — as I stopped in my tracks and waited for it to hopefully pass, I went to GOES as quickly as possible. Thankfully I was able to figure out all the steps I needed to take in case I was not as lucky. It was so easy to find next steps in this (almost) emergency situation, this app is absolutely necessary for the outdoor industry!

Helped with my rolled ankle

This app did me a solid when I recently rolled my ankle while out. Within two days my ankle was feeling extremely painful, though only under certain conditions. Using the app I was able to get an understanding of what I most likely had (mild sprain) and some tips on how to treat it since I was able to walk and stand on it normally. Really great companion to have when you’re out and can’t necessarily get to anyone quickly!

Response from developer

Hope your ankle is ok and glad we were able to help! Keep IT rolling!

Exceptional and Life Saving

This app is absolutely brilliant. I feel safer knowing that I have instant access to top medical information and resources when I leave my house. It doesn’t matter what I’m doing, GOES has my back. I recently got a terrible spider bite and was able to diagnose and treat it at home, which saved me a lot of time and stress. I love that this app is applicable wherever you are, even if you’re not on an awesome wilderness adventure.

Awesome for moms

So great to have this information for taking my kids out in all their activities. Not just peace of mind, but actionable information when situations happen. And all available off line. Brilliant!

Great for being prepared

Amazing app for all things outdoors. I have a hard time understanding what the weather forecast means for what I need to pack and prepare for out in the field, but with GOES I have the best forecast along with what it means in terms of risk factors. Also, by just playing around with the Injury Assessment feature (not that I’ve needed it yet thankfully), I’ve learned so much about wilderness medicine that I feel more prepared for the worst. Thank you!

Super useful for backcountry skiing

A couple years ago I cut open my leg pretty bad while backcountry skiing in the tetons. The experience made me realize that despite having WFR and avi certification I had no idea how to deal with emergencies. Having GOES gives me the comfort of knowing that the next time something like that happens I’ll have the medical knowledge to know how to respond on hand and I wont be reliant on remembering details from a course I took 5 years ago

I wish I had this app 5 years ago

This in incredible, I had a situation in the backcountry skiing where a friend dislocated his shoulder and if I had this we would have reset it and been in much better shape

GOES is amazing. Best app out there.

I love hiking with my friends and family when we go on trips to new places. GOES always helps put my anxious thoughts at ease about exploring a new place. Knowing that I have knowledge at my fingertips to navigate my adventures has been invaluable. Very grateful for GOES.

Absolute Boats and Logs

Honestly this App allows me to carry the boats like no other. Knowing when I’m safe to carry the boats or when I have to dig deep to carry the boats… GOES is my go to 🚢🪵
