First Aid: American Red Cross

Great app, but I don’t use it to learn because it always has a button no matter what page your on that tapping it instantly calls 911. I think this is a good idea, but they should add a setting to turn it off because a misclick or scrolling at the bottom of the screen could lead to a fine for false calling 911. I love how this app is ad free. Doesn’t cost one penny. Everyone should have the Red Cross first aid app and the Red Cross emergency app.

My family and I had an emergency today. Happily, not life threatening. But it was very serious and quite scary. I’ve had the First Aid app on my phone for a long time. I went to it for some emergency best practices for burn and wound care. As soon as I opened the app I got hit with a survey. I was very frustrated but I quickly responded, so I could get to what I needed. Imagine my exasperation and stress when this happened TWO MORE TIMES. I got hit with THREE SURVEYS in a row within the First Aid app. There could have been a fourth, but I gave up. I tossed my phone aside. We had called 911, and my daughter ended up finding some helpful information using ChatGPT on emergency wound and burn care. I feel quite disgusted. I will never use this app again. If you choose to use the app, watch out for surveys. It makes the app useless in serious situations. To the people who make this app: SHAME ON YOU. Inserting surveys into an app that you explicitly advertise as being helpful in emergencies or critical situations is just plane WRONG. Shame on you.

Thorough this app I could learn what I have to do in emergency situations. Every people have possibility of facing the emergency situation in their own life or someone else's while we are living. So when we know what we have to do in emergency situations we can save more lives. This app is the first step for make it possible. I installed this app several years ago. At that time there was no quiz section but these days it has. The quiz section is really helpful. Through quiz I could assessed not only my knowledge was right but also corrected wrong knowledges previously I had and got some new informations. I strongly recommend this excellent app for everyone.
