Useful for revision and easier to to carry around than the enormous book! ### 5/5 — Awesome app!!! *2020-04-10* I was struggling trying to use the Trailguide book alone as I was never sure if I was feeling exactly what was described. This app makes it easy with the great visual of the overlay of muscles and the step by step instructions. Great app and worth every penny! ### 3/5 — Bug in the app *2019-11-27* I enjoyed using this app and kept it even when I graduated and became a therapist Great video for Palpation but the app is no longer running.

It was a great app but useless now. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unhappy *2023-02-21, version 2.5* Just after purchasing , found tat I have access to this from my school. Trying to request refund and it’s not an option. Lastly, all the videos on this app are on YouTube! What am I paying for????? Still what to find a way for refund. Guess we will see if the company has any ethics in this matter. Waiting in reply…. ### 1/5 — Just purchased *2019-11-26, version 2.2* The app keeps crashing, I haven’t been able to load any videos . Not impressed ### 1/5 — Videos won’t play *2019-11-07* This app is simple and easy to use, however the videos will no longer play since the latest iPad update. Yes I have troubleshot the app already. ### 1/5 — Stopped working in the middle of midterms *2019-10-28, version 2.2* It was a good app and really helpful for my classes but when I updated my phone to the new iOS it stopped working. Not very helpful in the middle of midterm season ### 1/5 — It would have.... *2019-10-20, version 2.2* I am quite disappointed now; I have used both apps for almost a year and a half, but after I updated my iOS to 13 all of a sudden not only that I can’t use it, but also it’s not available in the Canadian App Store. I feel like I should have asked for my money back since I can’t use it at all and paid for both apps. ### 1/5 — No Sound!! *2016-11-07, version 2.0* Please update version and provide sound or let me know how to get the sound to work. Tried the turn off/on and still doesn't work ### 1/5 — The 5 Star Review must be a developer not an actual person *2016-10-03, version 2.0* All of the reviews are true no volume. Please add volume developers!!!!!!! Send updates I have a certification to pass. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money *2016-07-15, version 2.0* I was hopeful and ignored others' reviews, but as they indicate there is no sound. Albeit, I purchased the bundle so this app was only $3.00. Without sound, it's not worth even a penny. ### 1/5 — False advertisement *2015-11-07, version 2.0* I have yet to find any sort of video for lengthening and shortening techniques for free as your about section indicates. ### 1/5 — Awful. *2015-02-07, version 1.2* No audio to any of the videos?! Demand for this to be resolved or full refund to be given ASAP! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2025-12-01, version 2.6* It’s super straightforward and user friendly, The videos really gave me a sense of how to locate and palpate all the muscles for my anatomy class. I’m an RMT in training and this app is my go to! 10/10 👌 ### 5/5 — Great and informative! *2025-03-29* Love this app soo much I have the hard copy books as well but this is so great to just have in my back pocket and use as a refresher before teaching yoga classes and workshops. I highness recommended getting the bundle. It is well worth it. ### 5/5 — Palpation mapp *2025-01-27, version 2.6* Highly recommend this app ### 5/5 — Love the app *2024-10-23* Great reference and review when trying to palpate muscles ### 5/5 — Invaluable *2024-09-29, version 2.6* I’m in massage school and one of our texts is Trail Guide. The videos in this app are available thru the publishers website with the book code, but for ease of use, the app can’t be beat. The videos can also be purchased on Vimeo if you’d rather use that. But the Vimeo platform is not as navigable. I feel like I should watch these until I memorize the entire script! ### 5/5 — Got me through massage therapy school! *2024-05-16* Trail Guide to the Body has always been the best tool to learn and easily understand human anatomy. I used it all throughout MT school and even now as a Licensed Therapist I still use their apps and books for review. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2024-03-01* The EXACT app I’ve needed. Training in remedial massage therapy, this is a game changer for me.

I ### 5/5 — Pleasantly surprised *2023-09-18* Dry useful application, really helped alongside learning origin and insertion points with the AnatomyMapp --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
