Mobile First Aid 1.3.1.0
For those who want to be prepared for such unwanted situations, a specialized application like Mobile First Aid could be the right solution.
Pragmatic interface for increased functionality
The looks of this utility might be not too attractive, but the practical layout allows you to easily get to the desired section and find the information you need quite fast. Thanks to a smart organization of the content, you can check out possible signs and symptoms for various pathologies and view the recommended maneuvers for each of them.
Reading the first aid, scene evaluation and basic life support information is facile, while the BLS (Basic Life Support) module features some illustrative images, even though this section is displayed only in landscape mode. There are some reminders that appear here and there, prompting to rate the app, but they can be dismissed and disabled with one tap.
Basic details on emergency procedures and fast configuration
Mobile First Aid comes with 3 main modules and each of them contains valuable information that includes evaluation of the emergency situation and solutions for most common problems. Inside the "Emergency" section you will find an area from where you can find out your current location quickly, but this feature needs to be activated first from the "Settings" menu.
The "Learning" and "BLS Sequence" areas offer plenty of info to help you learn the fundamentals and also to perform CPR maneuvers. The emergency number can be set from the dedicated settings area, where you also have the possibility to make the screen remain always on and activate the automatic localization.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The appearance of the app is far from appealing, but practicality prevails in this case and getting fast to all the contained information is paramount. The explanatory images in the "BLS Sequence" module are well drawn and another advantage is the ability to pin the BLS tile to the Start screen for quick access. |
Function8
Only the basic areas of the emergency intervention are outlined inside this app and Mobile First Aid could receive a lot improvements in this respect by adding more procedures for various emergency situations. |
Security10
The app requires access only to those system areas where it makes sense to look in, namely the location services (for determining the scene of a possible accident) and the phone dialer (for calling the emergency services). |
Battery8
While this utility is running the battery usage is low to moderate, except for the times when the "Always on screen" and "Automatic localization" functions are activated. |
Price10
A valuable utility for anyone who wants to be ready in case of an emergency situation, Mobile First Aid deserves a closer look from all users. |
Compatibility9
Well prepared to accommodate a variety of Windows Phone handsets, this app only needs version 7.5 and above of the operating system to be installed onto the devices. |
Potentially a life saver in dangerous situations
