Thumbs Up

• cost is free
• simple to use, no instructions needed
• cute name – “Safety Pickle”
• excellent organization and navigation

 

Thumbs Down

• only one “Safety Lesson” is posted
• some hot links don’t work
• the hot links that do work are to old YouTube videos
• they claim its’ Safety News section is updated weekly –  but we found the latest update was over 8 months old

Overall Rating

• iPad / iPhone  – ♥
• Android – not available
• Overall – good idea, but it’s execution is seriously flawed.
