An excellent referance when the need arises for action and possible life saving! The fact that this is always with me in my phone is an added bonus. This app is a must for the thoughtful traveler.

Can I get my money back? Very basic first aid manual. Was looking for more in depth guide and for the money this was way overpriced. Not worth $5.00!
