First Aid-Australian Red Cross for Android
Could do with a GPS location button to inform authorities exactly where you are.
I volunteer at the Red cross and this app is awesome in case of emergency anywhere, anytime.
Very simple app to use and useful
Great Stuff to have at the ready
Helpful and easy to understand.
My understanding is that not all states in Australia just allow anyone to give first aid. Hence needing be actually certified first aid to be covered under the good semaratans act. Unless it has changed, but nothing in the app so far states this either. It seems to be a good tool for those who are certified, as a reference. However just because you have the app still shouldn't mean this gives a right to handle first aid.(state laws pending)
Great app to have! ... DANIEL ⬇️ is wrong. The media would have you believe you could be in trouble 'legally' for giving someone first aid. You're expected to do what a "reasonable person" would do in the circumstances. Sometimes not giving aid is considered negligent - whether you're trained or not. Please do your own research if you're concerned! All answers are available on google these days!
A simple app that has some interesting features more than just information. For example it is saying when you get burnt to run burn under cold water for 20 minutes it also includes a timer integrated in the instructions. The app could be a little more in depth with it instructions as they are very simplified.
Very informative and interactive. Love the portability of having the app. Great to have wherever you are, to check what to do in the situation. Not just first aid. Also features information in case of a natural disaster or emergency. Highly recommend. Everyone should have the app installed on their phone.
We are all going to die at some point and some of us will be lucky enough to be given a second chance. For a better chance of a second chance or that you might give someone else a second chance. Death doesnt discriminate. As long as you are human you are as susceptible as the next person. With all the killing & self destruction we as humans carry out, we owe it to ourselves for at least some dignity as a species, to save every life we can. If you have kids it should be your duty to learn it.
Practical information set out in a very user friendly way; just what is needed in a high stress situation. One question though, why are 'stings / bites' not also in the emergency section?
Daniel is wrong (what's worse than being mistaken? spreading misinformation...) - you don't need to be certified to give first aid. You do need to exercise reasonable care. Search for "Legal issues in first aid" to check for yourself. Do a first aid course, it's worth the time and effort. e.g. APL Group found "With ‘reasonableness’ as the main standard for judging actions, we are not aware of any documented case in British law eg Australian, N.Z., U.K., USA, or Canada where any first aider has been uccessfully sued after giving emergency first aid."
Has some good info. But the bit about choking should Inc. A note That if the person can cough u dnt hit Otherwise the object can become lodged further down.
I know this is a minor complaint, but my device isn't getting the design that is shown in the screenshots.
Couldn't find an option. NO app on Android should ever give forced notifications without an option to switch off. I can't rate higher than 2 if an app breaks this rule.
Interactive however it needs more illustrations. For example the thrusts for choking, the explaination is hard to understand. Therefore I'd b easier if there were more diagrams.
I burned my wrist this app assisted me in appropriate treatment. It's better now and I can only thank this app and its creators. Glad to have access to quick and credible information!
Accurate and easy to follow instructions to apply first aid for situations big and small. The app is simple to navigate and makes information for emergency situations quick and easy to find. A must have resource for all phones.
Thanks for saving my pet dog. He had a stroke
Navigating to More > Emergencies Abroad results in a "could not load page" error, and there is no "Send Feedback" link within the app I could have used to report this.
It does not (and it should not) replace taking a first aid course, it is easy to use, and has simple instructions. But make sure you read it first.
Why is "bites/stings" not an option in the "Emergency" section? Seems bizarre, given the prevalence of this type of emergency in Australia.
Great app and a must have for all trained senior first aiders who may need to refer back to the book in a situation.
This is great revision, even if you don't know a thing about first aid this will teach you the basics, this app is suitable for 11+, great app but needs more tests and videos.
Why are stings and bites not on the emergency tab? Also a search button would be very useful.
Very useful app, everyone should have it on their phone.. there's no excuse not to have it. Thanks for producing this app!
As a massage therapist, we have to do workplace level 2 courses every 3 years, this is a handy inbetween refresher.
This is a great app. Everything is so easy to understand and follow and describes symptoms clearly. This is an essential app everyone should know what to do in an emergency and this is great if some don't have first aid. Well done!
It not only shows what to do, it also explains each situation/illness/injury, and answers other questions you might have in a situation (eg "I've heard 'this' helps, is that right"). You even get rewarded for answering questions.
Accurate, essential facts and supports you in getting your knowledge of first aid procedures immediate and right.
In regards to the water depth one.
For years I have used the redcross first aid manual and have carried in my car. This APP allows me quick access to first aid information and practical advise where ever I go.
More illustrations needed. For example: I can't imagine how anyone would figure out the "chest thrust" procedure from the simplistic instructions given. I had to do it for a child once and I couldn't have done it from these directions.
This SHOULD NOT be an 'app', it should come with EVERY phone & car. I have not even looked through the app. Found it downloaded it without any 2nd thought, it definitely will come in handy if I have an accident, I can tell (if I can talk) them to look the app up on my phone, for example.
Great for refreshing knowledge or simple to use in case of emergency and reduce panic.
It does not (and it should not) replace taking a first aid course, it is easy to use, and has simple instructions. But make sure you read it first.
Very good app to help refresh my first aid training on some of the basic everyday scenarios. Should be pre installed in ALL mobile phones
This app is one in a million and should be on all devices. It can definitely save lives.
I totally loved it. Its a great refresher . As i my self a first aid officer and state service

No bites treatment in emergencies. Very strange that you have to look in the 'learn' section for information on bites and stings.
