Doesnt have all european countries, not even the ones around me. It should say why it needs to know the country, (language/laws/emergency numbers) so you can adjust if yours isnt there. It asks for location permission, but doesnt say why either, and the permission is impossible to skip.

Even if the language of the app changes accordingly to the location or the country, there should be an option to choose the language. My current location is Myanmar but I don't have Zawgyi font in my phone so I can't read it. It should at least have the option to toggle between Zawgyi and Unicode.

This is nothing like the original Red Cross App, and while change is good it definitely is not in this case. I cannot recommend this current app be downloaded nor used. I am very disappointed with the direction this change has taken, and found the previous version to be far more effective.

Just downloaded the app and was alarmed by the review section... many Indonesians are complaining being unable to access the English version. Funny, why would anyone choose a non-native language to access an app required for emergency situation, where people need to think fast? Turns out, the Bahasa translation is rather clunky and still in English grammar. I spent more time thinking of what would the menu say in English to navigate, and this is clearly not ideal.

Very few step-by-step situations. I tried to look what to do for a burn. Nothing. I went to the app as a reflex for accurate information, ended up losing time and going to Google instead.

IFRC really need to make it clear that this app doesn't work in English, and is only for select countries. Had this on my phone for months before heading out and finding that it didn't work. If there had been an accident of have been without a functioning guide. Maybe don't make the app page in English if it's not a supported language, and have a notification when you install telling you the app requires setting up

This app is not helpful in the middle of an incident to treat an injury. It's a learning app with no quick informative areas. The previous app had how to treat an incident, this app wants you to pass the lessons before being able to see how to treat an injury. Not great in an emergency

Definitely a liability in an emergency. It's not at all clear what is information and what is just "learning" noise. Why does it need to be gamified? The only positive is that in my brief test it seemed to work offline. Though, couldn't find anything for "broken bone"

Nice app, very organized though in some topics i wasn't able to get a badge as it kept writing "failed _load_ page". And when you press the back option when learning a topic, it takes you way back to the main menu instead of just back to the topic options..so its a little bit inconvenient. Otherwise, its one of the best apps to learn first aid.

Used to be so much better I have the older version on an old phone. That was an app I kept for an emergency situation. This new one is just a teaching up. I can't be in a situation to search for "stroke" and then I am being offered to follow 8-9 lessons with a quiz at the end.

My only gripe is the start up customization where it asks about your environment and activities, it only allows one selection for each category. Personally I think it should allow for at least up to 3 boxes checked. Here in saskatchewan Canada temps can range from +45°C to -60°C, The majority of citizens spend a good portion of their life in both urban AND rural settings, family careers and hobbies alike. The selection ability is quite restrictive, but content is great!

Other topics not on the main screen hard to navigate to and find, need to search, and using symptoms didn't seem to work, so had to search specificly for issue. Hot doesn't prompt Heat Exhaustion or Heat Stroke etc. Luckily didn't need this and was just exploring the new app, rexommend that people explore the app before it is needed to get most out of it.

There are basic spelling and grammar errors. In some cases, a sentence is not finished. There's a case where a treatment is mentioned before you are taught that treatment. I attended a first aid class where a paramedic advised the use of this app. I mentioned that it has errors & become more convoluted because of updates. He showed me his phone - he had the old, clearer app. The new app has some good info that is not communicated well. It needs serious revision for basic English & concision.

Educational, not practical. A first aid app should provide quick step by step actions to attend to specific medical conditions. This app offers learning modules, but I rather not do a 9-step learning course before I can help someone. The emergency part (which is not on your home page!) is very basic and refers only to a few cases that require CPR (without instructions how to do a CPR...). If you've been bitten by a snake... go and complete a learning module. Convoluted. Misses the point.

This app is a good and informative app - it has been useful for some first-aid measures. However, I can't change the language of the app when I select Indonesia as my current location, it automatically sets the language into Indonesian. I noticed that there's a feature that will change the content of the info once you crossed a country's border - hence I do hope that it could be translated into other languages and not only the country's native language.

The lessons were good, although it is very annoying to not be able to navigate easily between lesson steps without going through options repeatedly. BUT... quizzes are dangerously bad. Often you cannot pass without entering wrong answers, including more than once where it requires multiple mutually exclusive options even when only one is correct. (Most obvious where it needed True AND False for one question, and all three answers to another. I cannot take out and object AND leave it in)

So very very convoluted. They got too fancy trying to create a learning platform rather than an easy to access reference. I do not need to be stepped through one slide at a time. There is no quick reference to just search & view issues. They baby step you through a convoluted flow to get any information. Waste of time even when not in a hurry. Create a seperate app instead not this. Cluttered app, trying to be and do too much. Off to DL a more straight forward app.

Confusing and MUCH worse than the old app. Instead of simple step by step what to do inftructions based on situations it is turned into "learning platform" with "personalized plan" and a red cross information and fundraising app. The howto section is much much shorter than before, and always starts with several questions to "recommend" a topic (and the recommendation is useless). Big step back!

It's really good but I have a few problem.Problem1. Sometimes even if I choose the right answer(s), it still thinks my answer is wrong(though that could be me choosing wrong).Problem2. Sometimes ✅ gets switched with false and ❌ with true.Problem3. sometimes the pick multiple choices also needs to pick the wrong choice also to get the next button appear. All things considered,10/10 if fixed but for now 9/10(will edit anymore if there's more bugs)(also,sorry for my terrible English and writing.)
