AED Locations v2 for Android
Do not rely on this. Hopelessly out of date. Pins in wrong locations and appears to be unsupported. Eg app developer has not added 2 aeds I provided details on almost a year ago.
It looked as if it could be good, but - Android 6 wouldn't let this user change the default setting of an app's screen overlay being present. That stops the user allowing the app to know the current location. Result = it's slow and clunky to use, either by manually zooming into the map from the "whole of NZ" view to where the user happens to be, or typing some suitable search criteria into a box which then has a choice of two different "go" buttons to click. And that proved a lengthy problem to solve. (Uninstalling ES File Explorer fixed the problem.) Now the app is great to use, with the map opening up rapidly on the current location. Good work!
Not much use if I I accept that it can use my location, but then takes me to a 'screen overlay' page Not very useful
Any chance the developers can add a function where, if CPR is in progress, it can send an alert out, getting off duty staff in the immediate vicinity to the patient while waiting for the ambulance crew?
This will save someone's life. Period. I will encourage everyone I know to download it.
Concept of the app is great. However I think a few things need tweaking. The nearest AED to my work is 0.5km away it a straight line, but that's about a 3km drive due to a railway line. The list view shows it as the closest. Be good to do a closest by road option to avoid dead ends in an emergency. Secondly the grouping unfeeling happens too soon and you have to zoom in too far to actually see where AEDs are located.
A useful guide but I have concerns about how up to date and accurate it is to rely on in an emergency. Eg app developer has not added 2 aeds I provided details on months ago.
Excellent BUT not units are accessible 24x7; many are only available during business hours. It would be very useful to have colour coded pin for units that were immediately available for the phones given date & time.that way in an emergency time would be saved by only going to locations where you could access the devices.
Great idea have also download an emergency first aid app
When you need this app you don't have time to download - literally every second counts.
A must for all NZ first aider's
Never realised so many were around
Has a massive database of AEDs!
Awesome idea. App fast and simple to use.
Everyone should have this :)
Saving lives
Aed
This app should come pre-installed on all devices.
Fast GPS synch. Up to date information.
Life saving
Great work Gareth
Loving the new app - it is lightening fast!!

App is slow to respond. Can't zoom down onto nz, then app shuts down due to not responding. The place search didn't recognise my home town. The poor bugger needing an aed would be dead before you could find one.
