GoodSAM Responder

Good idea but continuously fails to verify me as a responder

This app is showing the way for activation of emergency responders in the future. Using GPS will allow Good Samaritans and hopefully ambulances in future to lock into your exact location and save time and lives. Activate local responders within seconds while the ambulance call is ongoing. Defib locator coming on next version which will be great!

Tha app is very well designed. I will be using the app when on duty with the community first response car. I will continue to use the app when off duty as well. Can I ask what is the procedure if I get a call when in the car. Do I need to inform the response desk before taking the call ?

Thanks to this app I was able to respond to a 4 month old in cardiac arrest down my road near my house. I was able to get there before the ambulance did and render immediate aid. Highly recommend

The app is fantastic and it's great to see how it has evolved and increased functionality over the years. However its usefulness depends on organisations using it, specifically ambulance services for the cardiac arrest response element, and NHS trusts for the NHS Volunteer elements. My local ambulance service doesn't use it, so it's useless to about 7 million people in this respect. I've only ever received one NHS Volunteer request in three years. This isn't the app's fault but there's no point having a product with such great potential, and continuing to develop it, when the organisations it depends on to work aren't using it.

Great app, but I think your latest update is for Lone Working, not Loan Working- which is a very different thing!!

Take the time to find your way around first, before going ‘on duty’.

I’ve had this for a year and a bit and haven’t had a single alert. Actually forgot I even had it

This app wins hands down as by far the best app on the App Store. Nothing can compete with this marriage of skill and technology to deliver life saving magic. As a developer, this delights me and demonstrates how technology should be used. As someone who has struggled with cancer, and significant health challenges, it is an enormous comfort to know this app exists. Thank you to all involved, true super heroes!

This was the first time I have been able to respond and so glad that I was able to help.
