It’s gonna be fun adding AED’s myself though as I find them (pretty sure I’m the only one to use this app in both cities but this would be beneficial even if so). ### 3/5 — Will update *2023-09-11, version 2.6* Will update review once I evaluate ### 2/5 — Apple Watch *2023-08-24, version 2.6* Dear Pulse Point where is the watch app? Sincerely, your favorite user. ### 3/5 — Hide the photos! *2023-04-12, version 2.6* The photos band in the lower part of the screen is annoying and covers half the screen. Please make them collapsible. ### 1/5 — Pulse point *2020-01-16, version 1.11* I don’t even remember what this app is for. Did it come with my phone? I’ve never used it. ### 4/5 — Works, needs more participation *2019-12-15, version 1.11* It works and it’s nice and easy to add an AED to the system, but it doesn’t have all AEDs because they just need to be added. Please use this app and make sure every AED you see is in this database. ### 5/5 — Super cool *2019-06-18, version 1.11* Really nice app. I live in Boulder Creek, work in Los Gatos, and head to Santa Cruz regularly. Works wherever I go. ### 5/5 — Dependable *2019-02-05, version 1.11* Gets it right! Wish there was a way to select a particular individual unit. ### 2/5 — Missing many AEDs *2019-01-01, version 1.11* Needs to be better up to date. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Locked out by phone *2026-07-03, version 26.4.5245* This stupid app locked out my phone. I couldn’t do a normal button reset. Lucky it wasn’t an emergency. I needed so do a hard reset to get control back ### 1/5 — Froze my Iphone 17 *2026-06-27, version 26.4.5245* While I think this app is great to find AEDs around your area (watched demo in my ACLS/BLS) class), I wasn't able to open the app at all because it gets stuck on notifications. The app doesn't open other than the notifications window. At that point, Im not able to do ANYTHING with my phone other than force restart it (if anyone has the same issue for Iphone 17, it's push volume up one sec then down one sec and then push and hold the right side button until Apple screen appears/screen is black). ### 1/5 — App did not work *2026-03-04, version 2.13* App did not work after download. Look elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Pointless *2024-11-19, version 2.9* Considering it’s an app that’s to help potentially save a life, make clear it is not for the uk ### 1/5 — Wanted to like it but had to delete *2024-06-13, version 2.8* This app completely bricked my phone. Notification appeared to allow access upon install and could not select either option. After that, I couldn’t select anything on my phone at all including the ability to unlock my phone. Eventually had to look up how to hard reset my phone to restore access. Not great for an emergency which thankfully I was not in at the time. ### 1/5 — March 2023 didn’t work for me at all in UK *2023-03-20, version 2.5* Useless ### 1/5 — “Pending Approval”??? *2021-04-02, version 2.3* It appears that all of the more than 60 AEDs in the Colorado Springs area show “Pending Approval”in the app. What does that mean? ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-09-26, version 2.1* Not a single unit found in the U.K. Perhaps the app is no longer being worked on, but it should probably be removed from App Store. ### 1/5 — Dangerous *2020-03-12, version 2.0* You require people to signup and have a login before they can use this app? That’s horrible. You can push a signup after the fact, but in an emergency situation, someone could die waiting for your verification email. I downloaded this a few weeks ago thinking it was a brilliant idea and a good thing to have on my phone. Good thing I happened to open it to poke around long before I ever actually needed it. Just despicable. ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t find any AEDs. *2020-02-18, version 1.11* No AEDs found ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A big step forward *2026-07-28, version 26.7.5300* In our agency these AEDs are recommended when 911 talks to callers during heart emergencies. Many times the callers are unaware of AEDs close to them. We have used for several years. ### 5/5 — Great mission *2025-10-18, version 2.11* This app collects and displays AEDs for/from the National AED Registry used by 911 operators. If you know an AED location make sure to use this app to add it to the registry. ### 5/5 — Great Idea *2023-05-31, version 2.6* Whenever I see an AED I look it up. If it’s not listed I add it. Maybe save someone’s life one day. ### 5/5 — AEDs save lives *2021-12-26, version 2.4* I have added many for 911 operators to use. Simple! ### 5/5 — EMS providers *2021-04-05, version 2.3* Excellent public safety resource ### 5/5 — The BEST to INSTRUCT where... *2020-09-27, version 2.1* ...to tell someone WHERE the closest AED is 24/7/366 no matter where you are on the globe... ...in the same way we used to tell someone to GO TO A LANDLINE to dial 911! AWESOME phone app! ### 5/5 — Very useful *2019-10-10, version 1.11* This app is works really well. It lets you know where the nearest AED is at. You can also add an AED location. It will also notified you if there is there is an emergency near you so you can get an AED. Great app and helpful. ### 5/5 — Great app! Help the user *2019-08-01, version 1.11* Great app!! Has picture and description of where the AED and instructions, too! Keep in mind that this app is driven by us, the people using it. It needs people to identify where the AEDs are and add it to the app. So we need to help each other, be proactive and add the AEDs. More people need to help adding the AEDs. However, to the developer, is there anyway that the app can get access to our photos? I find that when I see an AED, I want to add it but it can only take a pic within the app. I may it have the time at the moment to add it so having it allow to get my photo lets me enter the info later. For verifying, can you add a feature that will have a notification that an AED needs to be verified near you when you open the app? ### 5/5 — Wow *2019-07-07, version 1.11* Was at local gym- alarm on my phone went off "CPR NEEDED". Second alarm within a minute. Took me a few seconds to catch on- gentleman had arrested in parking lot. CPR already started by gym personnel, and fire dept paramedics there within 2 minutes. This patient was unable to be saved, but maybe next time. I am amazed at the capability of this app to alert trained first reminders to a crisis nearby. And appreciate the survey that followed. This is an incredible tool that can truly save lives. Thanks so much ### 5/5 — Retired Fire Chief *2019-07-03, version 1.11* Excellent tool! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
