A shame that the app is England only. Can't they team up with other NHS nations?!

Requires Internet connection for each enquiry and doesn't cache user details between lookups

As others have mentioned, the app's location checker doesn't recognise any locations. The app is unusable as a result.

Fantastic idea. Frustrating that when it fails you have to ring a expensive 0845 number.

App keeps saying I live outside UK. Have typed in several different locations including the one used as example but won't let me past that screen.
Gary
England only. Not for Scotland. It just stops and suggests to go online for help.

What's with the red tape? Can't people outside England at least use it to diagnose potential problems?

This app is amazing. I used to and got a call back from them go less than 10 min. Id give it 10 stars if there were 10.

Works to the first few questions then a dialog presents itself saying current session has expired, if problem persists call nhs direct on...

Brill app. My baby was poorly and got called right away. And the advises were good. And they found me the nearest walk in centre, that I did not know.
Rubbish app. Doesn't remember any of the details you've entered such as postcode or DoB, so have to enter these everytime. Uninstalled from device.

Great app; I like the way you can store the advice or email it. It's good to know you can get reliable health information from a credible source.
