First on Scene vs PlainRescue

First on Scene helps individuals and organizations prepare for emergencies before they happen. Use clear, step-by-step guidance for common medical emergencies, including cardiac arrest, bleeding, choking, allergic reactions, asthma, stroke, seizures, opioid overdose, and more. When an emergency occurs, always call 911 and follow the instructions of trained emergency personnel. The Equipment Manager gives your team one organized place to track emergency equipment across multiple locations. Create locations, add equipment, record where each item is stored, and keep inspection and expiration information easy to review. First on Scene is designed as a preparedness and organizational resource. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, emergency dispatch, or hands-on training. In an emergency, call 911 immediately.

When seconds count and there's no signal, PlainRescue gives you calm, step-by-step first-aid guidance you can trust — completely offline. PlainRescue walks you through dozens of life-threatening emergencies one clear step at a time: CPR (adult, child, infant) with a built-in metronome, choking, severe bleeding, anaphylaxis, stroke (FAST), heart attack, seizures, burns, drowning, and many more. Every single step is backed by an authoritative citation you can tap and read — from the American Heart Association, American Red Cross, European Resuscitation Council, WHO, ILCOR, CDC, St John Ambulance, and the NHS. BUILT FOR THE WORST MOMENTS • 100% offline — every protocol, citation, timer, diagram, and the voice guidance work with no signal. No network on any critical path. • Voice-guided — PlainRescue reads each step aloud so you keep your hands on the person. • One-handed and calm — big targets, high contrast, dark-readable, minimal text per step. • CPR metronome and recheck timers to keep the right rate and timing. • A Call Emergency Services bar with your region's number, always one tap away. • Clear, labelled diagrams on the key steps. LEARN BEFORE YOU EVER NEED IT • A Learn tab mirrors every emergency with in-depth, fully-cited study modules and practice quizzes — so the steps are already familiar when it matters. FOR TRAINED RESPONDERS • Optional Clinician Mode (off by default) reveals a physician-grade clinical layer — doses, contraindications, differentials, disposition — all cited. YOUR INFORMATION STAYS YOURS • Emergency protocols are 100% on-device and work offline. No account, no servers, no cloud. • An optional Medical Card (allergies, conditions, meds, emergency contacts) is encrypted on your device and never leaves it. PlainRescue can also point you to Apple's Medical ID for lock-screen access by responders. IN YOUR LANGUAGE • Follows your device language with English fallback. Available in English plus Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, French, and Portuguese, with more added over time. COMPLETELY FREE • PlainRescue is free for everyone — no subscriptions and no paywalls. Ads never appear on emergency screens; they appear only in Learn modules and quizzes (served by Google AdMob), and a one-time Remove Ads purchase removes them. IMPORTANT: PlainRescue provides guidance, not diagnosis. It is for educational and informational use and does not replace professional medical care. In an emergency, always call your local emergency services first.
