My Review 

Although it is meant for the USA it can be very helpful and useful for a UK First Aider. I have it for the "just in case" factor some one finds me and i need help lol.

I myself am a ex SJA advanced ETA and still a qualified Private EMT I have other apps relevant to Advanced First Aid and medical emergencies to match my abilities as a reference and believe people should have apps similar to their skills and training.

But for your basics then this app I would rate it as a good one to have even though some references are based for the USA. It covers most of the subjects in a first aid manual like recovery, CPR, cuts, stings, and bones.

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

Yes
