First Opinion is a useful iOS app that puts users in direct contact with real doctors from around the world, with the aim of providing real-time medical advice.
The 24-hour service allows unlimited communication with doctors via text messages (sent via the app) and receiving answers to general medical questions.
For each available doctor, a short biography is displayed, along with their specialty, length of practice, geographic location, and how many questions they have already answered through the service. The biography also includes ratings from other doctors in the same specialty, giving users some feedback and helping them choose the most suitable specialist for them.
Users who are willing to wait 24 hours for a response can enjoy the app for free. However, for those looking for an immediate response (within 5 minutes), the app costs $9 per month.
