Accessibility Comments

I have used this app for some of the minor things like burns and insect bite allergic reactions and it reads everything in a step-by-step process. No donation or *real money* is asked for of any kind, though I think there is a pro version that covers more things that probably is a paid version.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

All buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and is easy to navigate and use.

Other Comments

I think this could also be put under the medical category in our directory as it is a health app. If you have an allergy such as to bees, nuts or maybe you have asthma or you get a burn: this is a nice app to have handy. When in doubt or for something serious, in the US, call 911.
