Other than that a fantastic app, loads of info. A must-have for parents! ### 5/5 — Very Good but get stuck on the broken bones test *2016-09-25, version 2.2.1* Very intuitive to use. Goes directly the subject with succinct text/answers ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2016-08-02, version 2.2.1* This app was recommended to me by another new first time mum and I'm so glad I downloaded it. With photos and videos it's a great resource. ### 5/5 — Glad I downloaded this App :) *2016-07-06, version 2.2.1* This will definitely help save life's, fantastic learning aid in helping family in emergency situations. ### 5/5 — A possible life saver *2016-04-28, version 2.2.1* I just downloaded the app and looked around. I am very impressed and can see how this could app could be a life saver... 👍🏾 ### 5/5 — Essential for all parents & carers *2016-04-06, version 2.2.1* Another way to keep your knowledge topped up. I would still recommend doing a course to back it up with practical experience. ### 5/5 — Fantastic quick first aid app. A must have for parents *2016-03-25, version 2.2.1* Highly recommend this app, quick, easy and step by step handling in emergency- child resuscitation, choking, seizures etc, also can create and share child medical cards. Fantastic free app! ### 5/5 — 👍 *2016-03-18, version 2.2.1* Great app for anybody unsure of first aid ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Latest update has a bug *2018-02-09, version 2.4.0* Developers: Please check this update as a matter of urgency. I cannot open this new version of the app on my iPhone 6 running latest iOS 11 2 5. Obviously something is wrong with the update which I installed today, the previous version of the app worked fine with latest OS. Thanks ### 1/5 — Murder *2016-09-14, version 2.2.1* Killed a baby doing chest compressions. ### 3/5 — It’s ok just a bit misleading info *2022-06-26, version 2.9.1* As some that trains first aiders nothing can compare to a real first aid course. It does give a lot of good information but I feel like the testing side give so very obscure opinions which may end up confusion people in emergency situation! Great idea to get life saving knowledge to people just needs afew tweeks ### 4/5 — A good app with inappropriate rating *2018-06-06, version 2.4.1* This is an excellent app for those with some first aid knowledge but not familiar with children's differing needs. I was shocked when I changed the app settings on my iPad to 12+ rating in order that my grandchildren could use it. This app disappeared. Clearly it is not thought appropriate that children learn first aid. I reverted to previous settings and had to re-install the app. ### 4/5 — Second Best *2017-03-22, version 2.3.0* This is a pretty good app with the concise and clear instructions you will need in an emergency. Best to go through it before that happens. Better still to do a course for invaluable hands on experience. A pity that the app contains a money off promotion for courses which according to the T&C expired in 2014. ### 4/5 — When your talking about health and life - every parent should have this app *2016-12-11, version 2.2.1* Would get 5 stars but too difficult to give feedback on app. No direct link to a contact form. Also Issues saving child records. Not saving date of birth and crashing when adding contact. Will get 5 stars once these issues are sorted. Apart from that, such a brilliant app. The videos on here help stick the knowledge in your mind. Hopefully it means if you ever have to use this stuff, you're more likely to get it right and not panic under pressure. Download it today. :-) ### 4/5 — Good app but there is an error *2016-08-24, version 2.2.1* In the broken bones test you cannot click the next button on the fourth question. Please fix ### 4/5 — Not working properly *2016-07-09, version 2.2.1* Very good app but gets stuck on the broken bones test and can't scroll down to do all tests. ### 5/5 — Lani *2025-08-08, version 2.11.1* Tasker ### 5/5 — Literally a life saver *2020-04-13, version 2.6.0* My toddler was choking and I wasn’t sure what I was meant to do after the back slaps, I navigated through the app very quickly and the video and accompanying pics helped me to save his life. Scariest 5mins of my life, thank you so much! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — First aid is first class *2020-03-08, version 2.5.1* This is a very helpful app to any one with babies and young children for help knowledge and guidance. ### 5/5 — Every person should learn a little first aid *2019-09-21, version 2.5.1* I was a British Red Cross volunteer for many years going and attending functions on duty also taking disadvantaged children on camp holidays. First important rule never move the casualties . Think first act second. You never know when the minute arises. Go on learn now, that choking baby needs you. ### 5/5 — excellent app *2018-11-21, version 2.4.1* excellent app ### 5/5 — How to save a life *2018-10-06, version 2.4.1* Thank you to the BRC for thinking ahead and creating an app to help people save life’s in any situation.
