Please add CPR instructions for toddlers/kids & I'll up my rating to 5 stars ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2010-07-21, version 0* Could see someone being able to use this for CPR in an emergency. Would like to see a version with more comprehensive emergency first aid as well. ### 4/5 — Great App *2010-01-08, version 0* Good start. Needs to be built onto incorporate more medical basics. Let's hope st John have the funds. Apps like this should ship with iPhone by default ### 4/5 — Why is 911 set as default emergency number?! *2009-12-31, version 0* Fantastic app to help out in an emergency but bemused that the default number is 911 (the American number) so requires the user to change the number to the NZ one 111! ### 4/5 — Timing of breathing *2009-12-21, version 0* Great concept and nicely done; it would be much more useful if the CPR timing metronome could indicate the time to do the breathing every 30 compressions ### 5/5 — Great!!! *2009-12-18, version 0* A great start. Adding some more tips like making slings or stopping bleeding would be real handy as well ### 5/5 — Great! *2009-12-18, version 0* Child/infant CPR would be a good addition ### 5/5 — Review *2009-12-18, version 0* Awesome app! Well done. ### 5/5 — Go kiwi St John *2009-12-17, version 0* This is a great idea, should be more first aid appa ### 5/5 — Great app! *2009-12-17, version 0* I have saved 4 lives today thanks to my new CPR guide! Well done SJA! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very bad app *2015-05-11, version 3.3.2* This app should never be used during an emergency nor should it even be downloaded ### 1/5 — Very minimal app - Phone call doesn't work *2009-12-17, version 0* This app does not work as it says it should. The emergency call function would not work. I deleted and reinstalled just to be sure. Also, it gives no indication on how deep to compress the chest or if the user is compressing to fast or too slow. A very basic app for CPR skills. there are better apps out there. You get what you pay for in the medical and healthcare and fitness app department. ### 2/5 — Very basic - more useful would be... *2012-04-18, version 1.0* Imagine if they got a really tech-savvy person to show all the public defibrillators nearby. That would make this a killer App. Even better, St John members tracked on their iPhones so that a nearby "specialist" could be there to help! Oh! Spooky! :) ### 3/5 — Great idea but too basic *2012-08-20, version 1.0* Should have baby, child CPR as well as an option during the steps. Could be amazing with little extra input ### 3/5 — Retina version *2012-07-07, version 1.0* ...Would be nice. ### 3/5 — Good start *2010-09-01, version 0* Great to see a New Zealand first aid app, but it's very basic. App just has a basic slideshow arrangement for the steps of CPR and the ol' 30 compressions / 2 breaths. And a button to call an emergency number. That's it. No timing for babies/kids, no info on how far to compress / how much rescue breath to use, no info on how to handle different hazards at the scene. No instructions on how to handle other situations like fits/bleeding/choking. ### 3/5 — Basic app with little innovation *2009-12-21, version 0* While good to see St Johns putting official info / instruction in the iPhone app space; there is little innovation recognizing the power of the smartphone platform. They would do well to look at some of the other first aid apps that use video / audio / ebooks that provide complete first aid instruction. Even Jamie Oliver has a 100mb+ app and that's for cooking. I hope we have a single NZ wide app, not 1 for CPR, 1 for bandages, 1 for poisons, etc. ### 4/5 — Electricians dream *2013-08-22, version 1.0* Great app and should be promoted on electricians magazines. Thanks. ### 4/5 — Good but... *2013-06-26, version 1.0* I know it sounds dumb but It doesn't explain the technique to breath air into the person ??? ### 4/5 — Good app *2011-06-24, version 1.0* Good app It would be great to see a St John first aid app or Phec one ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2014-06-29, version 3.0* Everybody should have this app on there phone. ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2014-06-27, version 3.0* Best app ever ### 5/5 — Fabulous idea *2014-06-18, version 3.0* Great idea. As a teacher it makes me feel more secure knowing that the app is right there and on the iPads too! ### 5/5 — Best idea ever *2014-06-15, version 3.0* This could save lives, a great app which everyone should install ### 5/5 — Great and very useful *2014-05-27, version 3.0* Fantastic App, I like it cause you'll never know that you could be in a situation where you would have to help with saving someone's life. An easy and simple Way of having a understanding of CPR. I like the timer as well 👍 ### 5/5 — Must have app *2013-12-18, version 2.0* Great design, simple, easy to use and follow the instructions. ### 5/5 — Default number *2010-08-10, version 0* The reason the default number is 911 is because that number works internationally in most countries connecting to the correct local number. ### 5/5 — A very handy thing to have *2009-12-24, version 0* What a great thing to have on your phone. I only hope that if i ever need it, i remember i have it. You can even customize it to have your local emergency number it in. ### 5/5 — St John app is great *2009-12-21, version 0* What a neat little app, should be on everyones iPhone! ### 5/5 — Every iPhone needs this *2009-12-20, version 0* Simple, well set out & easy to follow (I guess but I'm CPR trained anyway) Perhaps the icon should be a heart with a ! and the letters CPR as the St John icon is a bit std & may be hard to spot on homescreen in an emergency panic/fluster --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
