The app fails to include psychologists as a profession, but has mental health counselors and psychiatrists. Seems like an oversight considering Psychological First Aid. Might turn some providers off. **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback and have updated the profession list to include Psychologist. Please forgive the oversight regarding the omission of this vital sector of the health care world, and thank you for using the app! ### 4/5 — Timely *2020-04-21* Has useable info, nothing about current problems. Basically old textbook . **Developer response:** Our Relief Central app does contain the most current COVID-19 Guidelines with content provided by Johns Hopkins University and the CDC. Open the app, select the Coronavirus channel, then select "What's New." ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-03-30* Easy to locate information. Keep it simple. Love it. ### 5/5 — Excellent resource *2020-03-29* This is a great resource for the most accurate information for the Novel COVID-19 virus as well as other global and local societal concerns. The app brings many sources together in a concise format. **Developer response:** Thanks for using the application and for taking the time to let others know that you find it useful! We will continue to keep the COVID-19 section (and other resources within the app) updated as new information becomes available from the CDC and Johns Hopkins University. ### 5/5 — Buen app *2020-03-27, version 1.23* Tremendo app gracias a cada uno que a trabajado en este app en esto tiempos difíciles que está pasando el planeta tierra ### 5/5 — Excellent resource *2020-03-25* Grateful for quick access to up to date information. Thank you **Developer response:** You are welcome! Relief Central is our way of saying "Thanks" to all the front line medical personnel who give so much to those in need. ### 5/5 — Nice app in the world *2020-03-24* Thanks for this app. This is the wonderful app **Developer response:** Thanks for using the app, and for your kind review! ### 2/5 — Idioma *2020-03-24, version 1.23* No tiene el idioma español como figura el Apple Store ### 5/5 — Outstanding Free App *2020-03-21* Amazing consolidated app covering many sources of information. Additionally, it receives frequent updates of content. Thank you! **Developer response:** Our thanks to you for both using the application and taking the time to let others know your thoughts in your review! ### 5/5 — Wonderful app for first responders and healthcare workers, nurses, and doctors. *2020-03-20* My Mom was an RN from ‘67, an EdD, and she was Dean of Nusing at Lewis University until she retired in her late ‘60s. My Daughter is an MA with three courses to go for her RN. I started working for Civil Defense in ‘67, today I work for TINLEY Park EMA, and do consulting for several Federal Agencies and DOD. We all find the app and it’s content incredibly invaluable. **Developer response:** High praise coming from a family with a wealth of medical experience! We appreciate you taking time out of your day to let others know that you find this application useful. Thanks again! ### 2/5 — Good idea, but.... *2020-03-20* Two stars (vs Zero) because there is some decent content here - basically “how to”. I installed the app to keep up-to-date with the topic, but the app gets zero stars in this area. The Covid 19 news is old and is not useful. I’m going to uninstall and keep looking. **Developer response:** Thank you for trying the app. To find the most recently updated info, start at the Coronavirus Guidelines section, then click "What's New...". As of this writing, it was updated Friday 3/27/20. It is continually updated and contains the most current content as provided by the CDC and other reputable sources. Thanks again. ### 3/5 — Map, showing current pandemic stats *2020-03-18* Throw to ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Where did the COVID section go? *2023-08-10* Loved the app until they got rid of the COVID section. Now it’s barebones niche field operations guide that is not worth the original price of purchase. **Developer response:** Thank you for using Relief Central. Unfortunately, coronavirus guidelines were no longer updated so we decided to remove it. Relief Central is a complimentary resource that continues to carry the World Factbook, USAID Handbook, and other useful titles for the relief worker community. ### 1/5 — I’m confused *2020-06-02* This app is too hard to use ### 1/5 — In a nutshell, CRAP, *2020-05-17* Sok ### 1/5 — Cheating app for vivid-19! *2020-04-12* After downloading, no information is found! ### 1/5 — Français *2020-04-01* La moitié est en français ce qui est pas important dans le fond mais pour rechercher si vous ne connaissez pas l’anglais du tout ces Bon rien ### 1/5 — Old *2020-03-25, version 1.23* Very old no new updates ### 1/5 — Forces you to create account *2020-03-25, version 1.23* It won’t allow you to view data on COVID-19 without creating an account ### 1/5 — So where is the latest info? *2020-03-21* I cannot tell where the latest info is. The Pres and staff came out yesterday morning with guidelines that all should follow. As far as I can find none of these are on this app. Please advise. **Developer response:** The Coronavirus Guidelines section is continually updated and contains the most current content as provided by the CDC and other reputable sources. Select "Coronavirus Guidelines" then "What's New...". As of this writing, it was updated Friday 3/27/20. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Spell check *2020-03-17* Ever heard of grammar checking your spelling before creating an app??? ### 1/5 — Personal information is required *2020-03-16* Personal information is required, wonder who they will sell it to! **Developer response:** We do not sell your information at all. We ask users to register with an email so that we can identify accounts if/when issues arise. The app is free, includes no advertisements, and free individual Support is also included. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-02-10, version 1.26* Excellent ### 5/5 — Helpful Tool *2022-12-30* I have used the tool for years and I have found it very useful. I am grateful for it’s ability to be able to use it. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your positive review! ### 5/5 — Best info *2021-06-27* I have used this app to stay up to date on Covid since the initial outbreak. Not once have I felt the general anxiety out there because I felt informed and because I was informed I knew what to do. That isn’t necessarily a guarantee, but I continue to follow the guidelines here and am at peace knowing I am doing all that I can. Thank you for this invaluable service. I will continue to share with colleagues, friends, and loved ones. **Developer response:** Thank you very much. We strive to keep it updated through a variety of sources. Thanks for your review.

Especially if you are a traveler. The developers work hard to constantly up date the app with the latest health information. Especially about the Chinese COVID-19 virus.
