### 4/5 — Bookmark!

*2015-07-03*

Overall, an excellent way to revise for exams and to provide quick references. It would be great if bookmarking system was incorporated into the app. Looking forward to this much-needed feature in the upcoming updates!

### 1/5 — Bad App

*2015-05-18*

very basic app, not for medical people

### 5/5 — Great

*2014-06-21*

One of my favorite reference materials

### 3/5 — Needs some work

*2013-10-03*

The illustrations aren't half bad, and its useful being able to flip through quick diagrams and brief explanations of the anatomical areas, vessels, nerves, muscles, joints, etc. However it doesn't have all the information or even all the joints or vessels you would need to know. I was actually still satisfied with this app at first, until I started noticing MISTAKES. As an anatomy app that i'm paying for, that's unacceptable. The information should be reviewed to make sure that its all correct, especially since you're targeting medical students and doctors as your customers. An example is the sternoclavicular joint of the shoulder, its a saddle joint, how on earth did you manage to list it as a ball in socket joint? It behaves like a ball in socket joint but that is not its classification. Thats one mistake, believe me, there are a few more. I'll leave it to the makers of this app to go back and find them and fix them.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2013-06-11*

Great app, excellent anatomy resource. Now works flawlessly with iPhone 5.

### 1/5 — Issues with this update

*2013-06-06*

Just updated to the iPhone 5 ready version. Been using the previous version for a while and love it.  This update has multiple bugs, can't use 1 or 2 links at bottom of most pages, can't go back to menu page without force closing the app and restarting, and the app closes itself often while navigating, to name a few.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-05-31*

Great App! So much detail and such a good price!!!

Good for first year anatomy if in med school

### 5/5 — Cool Flash Cards

*2012-06-05*

This is great. I'm in the medical field and this is what I needed for the hospital. When I'm with a patient, it's important to show them what body parts are being affected and how the treat and correct the problem before it gets worse. Once they visualize this, then I work on step two: proper assesement and contining future rehabilitation. Thank you.😃👍💣🔔

### 1/5 — Don't buy

*2012-04-14*

This app is horrible! When u look at muscles of an area you get origin and insertion sights on the bone. Not the muscles themselves. You think you're getting a picture of something, but when the page opens its not what it says it's supposed to be. Like the sciatic nerve being found under the "surface anatomy" category of of the leg. Ok, not really surface anatomy, but whatever.but u get these crude drawings of what is supposed to be the sciatic nerve and how it travels down the leg (I'm assuming that's what it's trying to illustrate, but that's only because I know it). If I had to use this app to help myself study anatomy I would be SCREWED. Not a cool app at all.

### 5/5 — Instant anatomy flash cards

*2012-04-01*

This is a must buy, it's a great App for learning and very educational for anyone who needs or wants to learn about the human anatomy in every aspect.
