User reviews

Nice scope and coverage but...

Please provide an appmaster contact email so users can point out issues. One of the pedigree quiz questions has a duplicated button label. There may be other issues.

Improves your understanding of genetics, as well as college humor.

So within the app there are a few easter eggs that you'll enjoy as you study. I suppose it was there way to keep fatigue to a minimum as we study the material. It's great!

Bad

Not user friendly, quizzes unhelpful, spelling and grammar errors. Don't waste your time.
