## What is Aron?

When disaster strikes — a wildfire, a hurricane, a flood, a blackout — cell service and the internet are often the first things to go. Aron keeps a survival library on your phone that works with no signal, no Wi-Fi and no data. Try it: turn on Airplane Mode and open the Water topic.

Aron is an independent private app. We do not represent any government entity, are not affiliated with any government entity, do not act on their behalf and do not provide government services. The library contains official documents that are publicly available; links to the original sources are at the end of this description and on the "Sources" screen inside the app.

OPEN TO EVERYONE
• "I'm in trouble" for Fire, Water emergency, and Evacuation & home crisis — clear, step-by-step instructions for the first minutes.
• Three complete topics: Water, Fire and Preparedness.
• Smart search — ask in your own words.
• One-tap emergency call — the number matches your country (911, 112, 999 and more).
• Whistle, SOS light and compass.
• One book of your own in "My books".

ARON PREMIUM — ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION
• The other 5 topics: Survival, Food, Heat & cold, Natural hazards, and Attacks & terrorism.
• The other 4 emergencies in "I'm in trouble": War / attack, Lost / stranded, Storm & flood, and Extreme heat & cold.
• All 21 built-in manuals to read in full — when an answer comes from one, it opens right on that page.
• Unlimited books of your own, with the reader and search.
Pay once and it's yours. No ads, no subscription, no account.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 426 short answer cards across 8 topics — 103 open to everyone, the rest with Premium. Each card notes where the facts come from.
• 21 real manuals (full access with Premium) — publicly available official documents: the U.S. Army Survival Manual FM 21-76 (MCRP 3-02F reprint), FEMA and Ready.gov guides, CDC materials and a U.S. Fire Administration brochure.
• Smart search that understands meaning, not just keywords. It runs on your phone and handles typos.
• "My books" — add EPUB, FB2, TXT or DOCX files and Aron searches them too. Everything stays on your phone.
• English and Russian interface.

HOW TO USE IT
1. In trouble? Tap the red "I'm in trouble" button, choose what happened and follow the steps.
2. Got a question? Type it the way you'd say it, like "how to purify water".
3. Getting ready? Browse the topics ahead of time — when it counts, everything is already on your phone.

ALREADY BOUGHT ARON?
If you bought Aron when it was a paid app, Premium unlocks automatically on the same Apple ID (iOS 16 or later). On a new iPhone, tap "Restore purchases" in About.

HONESTY AND SOURCES
• The library contains only official, freely distributable documents (public domain and official government materials); every book lists its source.
• Some Russian-language files are our own unofficial translations of U.S. government documents; this is stated both in the file and on the card.
• Some answers are our summaries of official recommendations and survival books; every card says where the facts come from.

ORIGINAL SOURCES
• U.S. Marine Corps publications (FM 21-76 reissued as MCRP 3-02F) — https://www.marines.mil/News/Publications/MCPEL/
• FEMA, U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency — https://www.fema.gov
• Ready.gov — https://www.ready.gov
• CDC, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — https://www.cdc.gov
• USFA, U.S. Fire Administration — https://www.usfa.fema.gov

The full list of sources and legal bases is on the "Sources" screen in the app.

IMPORTANT
Aron is a reference library — not a government service and not an emergency service. It does not replace doctors or emergency services: if life is in danger, call your local emergency number: 911 in the U.S. and Canada, 112 in Europe; the app fills in the right number for your country. Perform medical procedures only when professional help is unavailable.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.18.0 — 2026-10-20

New: "How to make" — step-by-step animated guides.

32 guides: shelter, water and fire. Build a lean-to and an A-frame shelter, find and purify water, start a fire without matches, on snow and in the wind. Key details are magnified, and safety notes come first. Guides work offline.

One guide per topic is free; the other 29 require Premium.

50 more — food, signals, knots, tools and navigation — are under review and not yet available.

### 1.17.0 — 2026-10-12

Aron is now free to download. Water, Fire, Preparedness, search, whistle, SOS light, compass and one book of your own are open right away. The remaining topics and books unlock with a one-time “Premium” purchase — no subscription, yours for good. If you bought the app before, Premium unlocks automatically.

### 1.16.1 — 2026-09-30

• Карточка в App Store теперь по-русски на всех витринах — подзаголовок, описание и скриншоты.
• Уточнены 34 инструкции.
• Мелкие исправления.

Store listing now also in Russian. 34 instructions refined. Minor fixes.

### 1.16.0 — 2026-09-20

Your books can now be read right inside the app.

• Reader: an opened book looks the way it was printed — its own images and layout. Contents, bookmarks, night theme, in-book search, font size.
• 153 new survival cards from the US Army field manual: fire, water, food, shelter, signaling.
• Fixed: books whose file names contain spaces or non-Latin letters could not be added.

### 1.15.3 — 2026-09-07

Русский язык теперь указан в карточке приложения в App Store — раньше магазин писал «только английский», хотя переключатель RU/EN был внутри с первого дня. Само приложение не менялось.
