Amazing tool for any anatomy student!
As a student in a massage therapy program, anatomy is something I have to learn inside and out. This is by far the most comprehensive tool I've seen to study the systems of the body when I can't quite have my book in front of me (like on my breaks at work). I'm a very visual learner and the 3D capability is astounding! This tool gives so much information and makes learning quick, easy and fun! Thank you so much for this application as well as the others!!

a few problems but mostly good
only 2 problems I encountered...
1. in quiz mode if the body part to be identified is too long of a word, it leaves off the excess.
2. the magnification is sometimes not enough to separate certain flags (mainly in the inferior view of the skull) therefore making some flags impossible to select.
but other than that, I've enjoyed this application very much.

Great Reference for both Med and Art Students
I use both this and the muscle system app all the time in the studio as references when drawing from the live model. Also, the 'quiz' feature is a great way to test your knowledge and see how much you *really* know. These guys make great apps!
Money for Visual Learners
If you are a visual learner you will benefit greatly from this. The major 'groups' of bones can be manipulated to be viewed in superior, inferior, lateral, medial, anterior, and posterior views along with adequate views for the major ligaments. This is a fantastic learning tool- one that will indubitably improve your anatomy course grades. It is not completely inclusive of all the ligaments, but this is not Ligaments System Pro :P
Check it out and use it like a flash card on your iphone. Frequent exposure is one of the best ways to learn.

3D Bones skeleton
This is excellent for testing your knowledge and also for finding out what you don't know. When it first came out, you could not get the flags in magnification and they were too close together. That has now been rectified and the application is fantastic.
Great graphics and level of detail!
Great graphics, good level of detail, and nice zoom and information features. This is a great tool if you need to be learn the bones of the body. Should be great for fitness trainers and as an aid in injury identification and treatment options. Well worth the cost.
Waste
Features are ok.. But it doesn't list all the features per bone- or let u look at individual bones on their own.
Top Application..!
This 3D skeleton application that is quite simply the one of the best applications currently available on ITunes. This is the most accurate and sophisticated skeletal system app, with excellent 3D graphics and a delightful interface. It’s simple to use and a must for all health care students and professionals alike. It can be used by those beginning their studies into anatomy - right the way through, to consultant level. Be dazzled by the 'life-like' images that explain the skeletal system like no other application or text book can do. Why spend £20-£30 on a text book when you can have this at a fraction of the cost and more importantly, right to hand on your Iphone/Touch device. This is an excellent learning tool to be used with patients to assist in explaining diagnosis/treatment and rehabilitation. With that in mind, this is also a 'must have app' for those involved in sport injury rehabilitation..ie coaches, physio's etc.
The unique labelling system (flag's) helps to accurately identify bone parts and bone areas. The magnification tool, allows for detailed study and identification. It’s truly....COOL..!

Very good review of the skeletal system.
I was provided a demo copy as the TA for a medical school anatomy class. I would recommend that students consider purchasing this app for exam review, but to try out the cheaper version first. Controls are intuitive, and many views are provided. The quiz mode is good, but be warned that the interface gets a little sensitive when switching views, often interpreting swipes as answers. The index only searches the beginning of words, but does have both an English and Latin database. Selecting a feature in the index will zoom out of where you are and zoom back to where the selected point is; which is a nice way of relating anatomical landmarks to each other. However, it will do this even if the selected point is already in view, which could make things tedious if looking for many things. Ligaments are shown for some views, but no muscle insertion or origin. Another view I appreciated was a see through view of the external anatomy that shows where the bone is located. It won’t replace an anatomy book, but could replace paper flash cards for review.

Great App
This is a great app that has helped me and my fellow students who have iPhones (my friends are now off to purchase an iphone so they can download the app!). The quiz function is great and the overall performance and functionality is second to none - great idea!
