I'm a bit concerned about the clarity of information on this app. For example, it explains that if someone is having difficulty breathing and is unresponsive, they must be turned on their "side and head tilted back". That sounds like a very difficult and contradictory position to get the body into, especially when the diagram shows them lying on their back, NOT their side. Very irresponsible instructions.

This is a fabulous little app. There's quizzes In here. Why not have an evening of learning and quizzing. Using this app has reminded me of those little things it's easy to forget and not know you have. I've been a first aider from my Army days. I've found the quizzes bring the learning alive. If you get answers wrong be glad you did. You'll learn more by trying making mistakes. It's a great internal confidence boost.

It is good if you want to follow a first aid course. But it would be even better if you could use a search bar to search for a condition and how to treat it, eg I couldn't find how to treat dislocated fingers. The link to the Get Our Emergency app doesn't work either. So a good start but could be better with some additions.
