Informative
Easy to use, clear, descriptive language using non medical blurb. Great for adults and older children alike. Handy to have on the phone “just in case” a reminder is required on what the best action is.
Amazing app
This app is really good! It’s got advice on what to do if someone is having a medical emergency for most problems, and ones that it doesn’t have are highly likely to not be an emergency. Would highly recommend to someone
Brilliant
Easy to use, clear instructions, helpful Q&A.
I’m finally able to easily check my memory whenever I want to, which helps to keep the knowledge fresh in between certifications.

Great app but needs improvement
Why would you not put a search bar at the top on the opening page? It would be handy in emergency situations. For example, I had no idea where to look when my family member had a potential eye injury.
Dream of this app! because its that good!
Very excellent good app. This always useful for home and work very helpful and educational app too. Always think of first aid and this app is very good for elderly parents as we get older cuts and swallowing gets harder so chocking and cuts can occur too.
Hard to know how to access the menu!
This app is more for preparing for emergency situations rather than accessible for use during them as in an emergency it's best to just call 999 and follow their instructions, but it's good to have information anyone can access to prepare and plan, and it's a good app for people who are anxious or paranoid about these situations to feel more prepared and to ease anxiety.
One big issue is that the sidebar really needs to have a button to activate! When I opened the app it was just a screen saying "learn about first aid" and no directions as to how to find the information or open any sidebars or panels, not a single menu button in sight! After ages of tapping and swiping I finally found that you need to swipe to the right to open the menu/sidebar, but that is a really poor design choice considering people might turn to this app in emergency situations.
Please can the makers just introduce a menu button or something to direct users to the sidebar, or a tutorial - anything to make it more clear on how to start using the app than just opening up on an almost blank page with no clear signs on where to go!

Add a search function
This is a fantastic app and I feel confident that I can deal effectively with a first aid incident knowing that it is on my phone.
However, to make it more emergency-friendly, a search function would be useful. I recently had to treat someone for shock which as far as I can tell does not feature on the app (it should!). I was able to quickly diagnose the problem but wasn’t then sure how to treat it. In this Situation a function that would allow me to search the app for a specific diagnosis would enable me to quickly find the necessary treatments.
So:
- add shock and how to treat it
- add a search function
Otherwise, this is a fantastic app and everyone should have it on their phone!

Not enough
The app is a good idea and I am at a loss why so many people think it’s amazing. The issue is there is not enough information on each topic. Not enough visuals. No enough examples. And simple things like dealing with a cut or graze which may seem obvious is not included. Cuts and grazes can lead to sepsis and you would be surprised how many people don’t know what to do or what to look out for when they get infected.

Some advice out of date.
Some advice out of date such as suggest a spacer for asthma inhalers is used by children or adults with poor technique.
Tests for bleeding is good revision, but disappointed that I can’t find tests in other areas.
Also disappointed at how how many links to other apps or videos etc there are, making it too time consuming to use effectively.

Everyone should have this!
Just been on a first aid course and memory already a bit hazy on a couple of things. Have revisited app this several times and will continue to do so to keep things fresh. Have recommended it for use at work.
Amazing!
Great app! And the other children version one, but can you maybe try and merge them together? Because then you just have one big app, please add it in the big update thank you!🙏 and also good that you don’t have ads, otherwise while someone is dying, and you need to save them, an ad comes up about games or other apps 😂🤣🤣

Brilliant little app
I downloaded this app as I seen it while looking for something on the Apple App Store. This app is brilliant I have done first aid in the past but never kept it up to date, while knowing most of the answers it was great to have a refresher. I highly recommend this app especially to those that have never learnt first aid, this could help/save so many peoples lives. It could also help those that have children maybe this way it could keep A&E waiting times down for minor injuries that could be treated at home.

Fantastic App
Helped me refresh my first aid knowledge quickly and easily - everyone should have this.
Side note: On iPhones with no home button the slider in the tests can be hard to operate because it triggers the swipe motion.

Make images in test bigger please
I could not focus on the images, they looked similar in the tests. Being in a wheelchair knowing the right procedure is not easy to accomplish. Especially if I was on my own. The smartest thing to do is call 999. Not fluff around wasting their life, dial 999 first stick the phone on speaker talk and listen to the operator. That action would save lives.
I thought the recovery position was for unconscious people.

Everyone should have this
Whilst I have done first aid courses in the past, it is easy to forget things. I have read this app whilst on holiday as a refresh (it only took 15 minutes). I think everyone should have this app, Apple should automatically have this on their apps as standard. It is simple, concise and easy to use. Even my children would understand it so I have asked them all to download it and read it.

Aid to First Aid
I recently completed the BRC Fist Aid course and downloaded both of their apps relating to adult and child first aid.
Both are very well produced, easy to understand and more importantly easy to use.
The revision test is a particularly good feature. 5 stars from me.

Perfection!
Absolutely flawless! If everybody had this on their phone, the world would be a better place. It's so easy to refresh your knowledge during down-time, and the emergency feature means even a novice can help!
Could be a lifesaver
Wonderful app. Content is up to date, easy to find and convenient. Easy to understand. Fantastic to be able to refresh my knowledge between courses with the tests.
Try this now
I've just found this - I think it's a fab app which helps you to learn at your own pace. You never know when it might come in useful. It's easy to use and gives you instant feedback.
Great help
Thankfully I have never had to use this but I do browse it and test myself every now and then. It is very easy to navigate, contains a lot of good information and lots of shortcuts so in the event of an emergency time can be saved (as well as lives).
