### 2/5 — Stupid

*2012-06-04, version 1.9*

It would be better if you could accually take out the organs. So far, it should be free

### 4/5 — Great app, but too many updates!

*2012-02-13, version 1.9*

I have had this app for quite a while, and it seems to have updates very frequently. This last update, with 3D view, is useful, but not major. When the app is nearly 300MB, please try and keep the updates to important ones - or save them all for infrequent updates.

Aside from that, a very cool app. Well done!

### 4/5 — Educational and fun

*2011-12-26, version 1.8*

No more messy, smelly trays! Anyone can dissect and explore the anatomy of a frog. Children from four to thirteen have enjoyed cutting, pinning, and learning about frogs on my iPad. One father was so impressed that he hurried up and bought it for his young son. As a teacher in a world of shrinking budgets that allow us to share fewer and fewer hands on experiences with our students, this app provides a worth he next best thing.

### 5/5 — Fabulous for Science

*2011-10-06, version 1.7.1*

What We Liked:

If you are at all interested in incorporating a study of frogs into your science studies this year, you won’t want to miss Frog Dissection.  SO much more than dissection is included in the app (though that of course, is really neat!)  While much of the anatomical information is written at a junior to senior high level, even my young children like to dissect the frog – the audio instructions make it easy, watch the videos, and explore the interactive activities.

This is a very comprehensive app when it comes to frogs.  I learned quite a bit about them that I never knew before.  There is really a wealth of information included in this app, you could easily use it as the core of a frog unit study.  I love how it provides a ‘hands-on’ experience to help cement learning by dissecting the frog step-by-step and through the ability to rotate the organs, slide through the life cycle, and interact with the digestive and respiratory system.

The art and videos are all very well done – the frog isn’t lifelike enough to REALLY give you the willies while it’s being dissected, and neither are the organs – they’re all obviously computer generated, but…that can be a good thing sometimes!  Everything in this app is very professionally presented – it’s just top notch.

When I showed my mother (still homeschooling my little brother) this app, she was amazed.  She’s been considering buying an iPad and this app alone almost threw her over the edge – it’s that good.

What We Didn’t Like:

Not a dislike necessarily, but it would be nice if the app was set up for multiple users in the quiz section (it keeps track of scores, but if you have several children it can’t differentiate between them).  Also, some sort of search function would be very helpful for looking up specific information about frogs within the app.

Overall:

If dissecting a frog is part of the requirements for your students in high school biology – this app will save you the trouble of hunting down a stinky dead frog for a lab.  Even if your children don’t NEED to dissect a frog and just want to learn more about frog anatomy, live cycles, or anatomy, you’ll want to buy Frog Dissection.

### 5/5 — Great, Waiting

*2011-08-22, version 1.7.1*

This is a great, wonderful looking app. However, I'm still waiting for the rest of those frog videos! Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — AWESOME

*2011-06-20, version 1.7*

If I were a Bio teacher, I would get this app for my class IMMEDIATELY! It is really helpful and great! I learned a lot about anatomy in just a few minuets exploring this app! Dissection isn't the only thing it can do, either. It also has animated videos showing things like the frog life cycle and how they eat, as well as interactive quizzes, info about the different species of frogs, lots of picture- enhanced and interesting info, and instructions on how to do a dissection on a real frog. If this company released more high school level educational apps, I would buy them in a heartbeat.

### 2/5 — Updated?

*2011-06-03, version 1.7*

Before the update, this app was great!  I am a teacher and use this app with my students.  Unfortunately, after the most recent update, the dissection no longer works; the app quits while trying to place the pins in the first screen.

### 5/5 — Special Education visual teaching support

*2011-05-17, version 1.6.1*

Excellent teaching tool for students to see lesson on smart board and then individually again on an iPad.  Students learned all the terms and support material that was needed to understand Frogs.

### 3/5 — Interesting. Need improvement.

*2011-04-21, version 1.6.1*

3D organ images could use some improvement. They are difficult to manipulate in that the rotation control is not fine enough. It would be nice to have the ability to move the 3D organ image in all its axes rather than just a horizontal rotation.

It was fun to play with regardless, since I think I was surfing the day my classmates cut up the real frogs back in the day.

### 4/5 — Great!!

*2011-04-19, version 1.6.1*

One problem... When u click on "human vs frog" it says that your arm is your hand
That is the only problem... Otherwise great app

### 4/5 — Rat app

*2011-04-03, version 1.6.1*

Great app used this for 7th grade life science students made copies of the rat and the students took notes on the rat picture.

### 2/5 — It's ooo Kay

*2011-03-13, version 1.6.1*

It's fine just wish I could do different types of frogs not something I do everyday but something that I play with once in a whil

### 5/5 — Great biology lesson without the mess!

*2011-03-10*

Every year, at our homeschool conference, a company gives away a frog for dissection.   Personally I think this is totally cool but many moms don’t enjoy winning this item and reluctantly select it.  

Recently, I discovered a wonderful app that will permit your homeschool kids to learn about dissection and discover the interesting organs in a frog without having the mess to clean and the handling of a dead frog in your house.   The app is Frog Dissection and it is packed with interesting information on top of the dissection ability. 

The images in this app are very realistic and 3D .    The dissection activity is guided with a step by step voice over which help you to proceed to the experiment.   Once the dissection is completed, you get the opportunity of learning more about the various organs in a frog.   The app allows you to turn the organ in a 360 degree to observe it on various angles.    

I always was fascinated with biology.   My 2nd son likes animals a lot and he was the first one to use this app.   He wanted to do the dissection by himself while following the  instructions.  

The app also contains information about frogs, some videos showing how frogs jumps, catch flies and sing, a quiz on frogs and their organs as well as an anatomical comparison of humans with frogs.   Needless to say, this app is packed with information that will make a wonderful science lesson for your kids. 

Honestly, I am impressed with the quality and the information found in this app.    I am recommending it to every homeschoolers who don’t want to handle the real live dissection.  

In conclusion, I hope that the creators behind the Frog Dissection app will consider coming up with other apps like this.   For example, items I would love to be able to dissect would be: mussels, sheep heart, grasshopper, bird, pig,…  I could come with numerous ideas to spice up the biology lessons.

### 4/5 — Frog dissection

*2011-02-21, version 1.6*

Nice visuals.  Overall, a good app.  There are grammatical errors and some basic human body parts mis-labeled in the frog vs. human comparison.  The quiz is good, but it should not ask the same question twice in one quiz.

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2011-02-02, version 1.5*

I have purchased dozens of great apps but have never bothered to rate one until now. We love this app! We have dissected 6 frogs today :)) I can't believe how much we learned and everyone in the family scored "excellent" on the quiz because it makes learning so much fun!! Please, please make a dozen more dissection apps!! I'll purchase every one you make!

### 5/5 — Developer Quick to Respond

*2011-01-31, version 1.5*

Once it started working - fabulous!

*2021-03-08, version 2.2.3*

Y

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2015-07-26, version 2.2*

No sound which makes it worthless to me because my three year old loves the app but she can't read yet.

### 1/5 — Shocking

*2012-05-05, version 1.9*

This app isn't worth the money I want a refund could just go on the Internet and fin the information silly really.

### 1/5 — Basic step-by-step

*2011-09-04, version 1.7.1*

I expected more freedom- you have to follow the dotted lines with the various tools in a boring and easy way. I was expecting freedom to cut it up however you want- I suppose that would be impossible though.

### 1/5 — Complete disappointment!

*2011-01-22, version 1.4*

A complete waste of money. This app, while appearing interesting on the onset does not give the user any sense of control. It is no more than CG delayed based on your action. Don't buy this app! If you want to learn about frogs or dissection, look somewhere else, Wiki or a book.

### 1/5 — Hang up

*2011-01-19, version 1.4*

This program constantly hangs and needs re-booting time and time again. Basically unusable and a waste of $5.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money

*2010-12-05, version 0*

Frog dissection hasn't worked since the day I bought it. Tech Support doesn't reply to emails.

### 1/5 — Crashes - save your money!

*2010-12-05, version 0*

Just downloaded but it crashes as soon as you start the dissection. The static pages seem to work. The support email is for a group Google apps email account and your message gets bounced back. Not happy at all.

### 1/5 — Please revise immediately!

*2010-12-03, version 1.2*

Actually it is not available Now for iOS 4.2.1 !
So I couldn't use and evaluate .
I hope to try this app.
I  want to try to use this app for my calss at high school.
But Now I can't.

### 1/5 — Frog Dissection

*2010-12-03, version 1.2*

### 5/5 — Perfect for Middle School

*2023-03-04, version 2.2.3*

Perfect! 
Students learn patience and precision by cutting open the frog with no visible blood  and click on the organs and learn about them. Bonus with interactive games!

### 5/5 — App is awesome!

*2018-02-10, version 2.2*

I loved this app. It was a perfect tool for teaching kids in our homeschool co-op science class and was a very much loved app by my 3 year old daughter. She is now 5 and really wants to play with the app again. Wish it was updated to iOS 11.

### 5/5 — Sound doesn't work on iPad mini 3 or Air 2

*2014-10-28, version 2.2*

This is a great app, but the sound no longer works on an iPad mini 3 or Air 2

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2014-06-01, version 2.2*

This is an awesome app on frog. Depth of content is awesome and is fun with various module. Kids have loved it.

### 5/5 — Nice animations

*2013-07-27, version 2.2*

Its a high quality app.  Interactivity is nice and pretty close to the real thing.  I like how the narration tells you what to do it really feels like you're in an operating room.

### 5/5 — Amazing features!

*2013-03-06, version 2.2*

This is a great buy! It is packed with awesome features like the games and videos along with interactive views of the organs, diagrams and so much more! I can't wait to use this in my classroom and I wish they had this when I was in school so I wouldn't have had to color all those sheets!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2012-05-19, version 1.9*

This app is amazing, it is very educational, but I hope that they make it universal, that would make me very happy!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2012-04-22, version 1.9*

We are a homeschool family and I love this app. There is so much material, explanations, and video. You can also manipulate the internal organs with your hands so you can see all sides. This works perfect to go along with biology class but. Y 10yr old also likes it, and it is easy enough for him to, understand. I would 
Love more apps just like this one.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2012-04-10, version 1.9*

So useful.  This really is a hands on app.  I love it especially for my highly sensitive gifted students who are not mature enough to deal with this in a actual setting.  This is a humane and inexpensive way to help all students learn.
Please make one for earthworms or another simple animal.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2012-03-23, version 1.9*

Once you cut it open you can click on the organs and learn about them. There are also interactive games! Its great
