First Aid

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffNovember 2, 2010First Aid is an unsophisticated, educational application that provides you with straightforward information on a range of life-threatening emergencies. You will have to get passed blatant spelling and design errors when using this application, but the content provided is still valuable, nonetheless. ProsFactual information: First Aid gives factual and correct emergency medical advice, which is something that cannot be said about many of its competitors. We compared the easy-to-read text with a variety of renowned medical sites to ensure accuracy and are confident that you will be able to assist in a large variety of emergency situations.Basic layout: We noted that First Aid functions solely from one screen, making operation very prompt and easy. A neat grid of various medical conditions covers the home screen, so you will quickly locate exactly what is needed in a time of crisis.ConsPoor design: While the layout is very straightforward, the design is unattractive and technologically archaic. Text and images are blurry, and the navigational banner was hard to locate because it resembles an advertisement due to its color scheme and font.Writing errors: First Aid contains grammatical and spelling errors in many locations. Had we not checked the validity of the content, we would have disregarded any advice from this application because of its obvious writing errors.Bottom LineThere aren't many tools provided, but the advice given by First Aid is spot on and may help you save lives. A comparable application, First Aid - American Red Cross, offers social networking capabilities. By using this feature, First Aid would add entertainment value to its already informative application. Download First Aid if you want factual emergency response advice, but keep in mind that more attractive and error-free applications are available.
