### 1/5 — Horrorible!!!

*2024-06-23*

Don't buy it!

**Developer response:** Many thanks for your feedback.

### 5/5 — Excellent!!!

*2022-09-07*

Pocket Brain can be adapted from the beginning student to helping with clinical applications.  Quizzes can be as simple as a 3 question multiple choice quiz on the cranium to all regions tested with a very extensive quiz.  Learning can involve a quiz on the 181 pins that complete the structures all the way down to select questions on a specific level such as low pons. Thanks!

**Developer response:** Thank you!! This really means a lot to our team. Wishing you continued success in using Pocket Brain in your educational and clinical settings. Kind regards, Mark & Team

### 5/5 — Just perfect, but I would wish for more tracts!

*2020-12-29*

So nice for medicine students

**Developer response:** Thank you. This really means a lot to our team. Wishing you continued success in using Pocket Brain in your medical studies. We will take your feedback on board. Kind regards, Mark & Team

### 2/5 — 看错了 以为中文版的 晕死

*2019-07-15*

哎

### 4/5 — Strictly anatomy, no neurotransmitters

*2019-02-25*

If you are looking for an app that will teach you where all features of the brain are, this is a great one. It has all the major structures and an astonishing amount of minor structures with info on each. The only problem is it doesn’t mention what neurotransmitters you would expect to find in different areas (you would expect it to have this for areas like the substantial nigra).

**Developer response:** Thank you. This really means a lot to our team. Wishing you continued success in using Pocket Brain. We will certainly take your feedback on board. Kind regards, Mark & Team

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2018-05-30*

Very good app however some structures don’t work. The app is missing Globus Pallidus in the brain pin. Fix this

**Developer response:** Thank you. This really means a lot to our team. Wishing you continued success in using Pocket Brain . We will certainly take your feedback on board Kind regards, Mark & Team

### 3/5 — Not great

*2018-05-24, version 2.5*

It does not have a true 3D model.

### 1/5 — 差评！

*2017-08-10*

里面的结构图不够清晰，不能随意调动，还不如很多免费的APP，真的是醉了，白白花了68个大洋！

### 3/5 — Average

*2015-02-26, version 2.5*

Okay for first year neuroanatomy but not enough detail for anything else.

### 1/5 — Where are the clinical cases

*2015-01-23*

I was impressed with the app till I realized the false advertising. In the pictures of the app on the store it shows that you can get clinical cases and even in some videos. Sadly, there are no clinical cases. Would have given 5 stars if the app developers didn't falsely lie.

**Developer response:** Thank you. We will certainly take your feedback on board Kind regards, Mark & Team
