### 5/5 — Professionally brilliant

*2012-12-12*

What a terrific app!  One of the main reasons why I got an ipad.

It is super clear on the retina display and the videos make explaining spinal conditions an absolute breeze.  

I would recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Remarkable!

*2012-06-29, version 3.0*

Another outstanding tool for practice by 3D4 medical. If you are treating the spine and not using this app, I would dare to say you are not fully treating your patients. The videos are excellent in explaining the complex bio mechanical symptoms that occur due to spine injury or illness. There is no doubt in my mind that with better patient education, particularly in conditions of the spine, that we can reduce healthcare costs. Nicely done!

### 1/5 — Review

*2019-03-27, version 3.8.3*

The app won't get downloaded or installed on my ipad :(

### 1/5 — Resolution issue

*2019-03-15, version 3.8.3*

The resolution is so terrible I can’t differentiate much on the spine. Waste of $10.

### 1/5 — This is below 3D4Medical

*2016-11-05, version 3.8.1*

These app bundles from 3D4Medical caught me by surprise; I have bought and used a few of their more recent apps and have had a very good experiences.

These bundles of apps, I bought today because of my previous experience with apps like complete anatomy.These are completely useless for me. In fact whenever I run one of these, my iPad says they may slow my iPad and "the developer should update the app."

This is a lot of money gone down the drain.
I consider this kind of doing business, not very honest. I am going to try and get my money back, if at all possible.

**Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for purchasing Spine Pro III, we really appreciate it.

Regarding your question, please do not worry. We plan to update our Pro Series III apps to be compatible with the next version of iOS and we will continue to support these apps. 

Please bear in mind, these apps will not slow down your iPad or have any major affect on your device’s performance. The notification is merely related to the current iOS.

### 1/5 — Bloatware 1.4GB!!!

*2015-12-15*

For the space it uses, the graphics resolution is poor and is less informative.

Additionally, there has been no updates for over a year and this app and its series seems to have been abandoned by 3D4. They seem to be heading towards subscriptions model.

### 1/5 — DON'T BUY - WON'T DOWNLOAD

*2012-08-26*

APPLE - I TRIED TO DOWNLOAD THIS APP SEVERAL TIMES AND ALL IT SAID WAS 'WAITING'.... I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!

### 3/5 — Decent, but not worth it

*2012-07-30*

It is decent, however it is just not worth it at the moment.

The 3D animation is jittery, made up of many images rather than a true 3D model and so only rotates on the Y axis.

Worse still, once you find the perfect angle to view a structure, clicking "label" to identity structures takes you back to one of only a few pre-programmed views, making it a bit pointless for learning.

In all, a cool concept but really wont teach you anything, rather than maybe show you a few views that you may not have seen in books before.

### 4/5 — Its good.

*2014-08-24, version 3.7*

I use the application to supplement the models in my office when discussing potential issues both surgical and not with my patients. It is missing a few things but overall allows me to demonstrate anatomy and surgery to the patients.

### 4/5 — No sound option when playing videos

*2014-04-29, version 3.7*

There is no sound when playing videos. However excellent customer service. I am going to explore this app along with other apps from this company. So far it looks great - navigation, graphics and information provided are excellent even for non-doctors!

I hope sound is added as a configurable option - that will make this app 5 star!

### 4/5 — Great educational resource

*2014-01-08*

This app, just like its related apps, is an excellent educational resource, is highly detailed, and is easy to use.  It would be even better had it included radiographic images and resources of diseases as well as animations of surgical procedures. It is somewhat pricey if you desire to purchase several of these types of apps.

### 4/5 — Excellent but make it better for patients

*2013-01-20, version 3.3.1*

I'm a chronic back pain sufferer with two spinal surgeries under my belt. This app is absolutely fantastic as an educational tool to help me understand the details of my back problems. I've even used it at work when my friends ask me about back pain...everyone who has seen it has been impressed.

One thing that would be very good to add would be info and animations explaining more of the common back pain treatments, particularly spinal fusion surgery since it is so common these days.  The app is obviously geared towards medical professionals, but if you add more patient-focused functionality I suspect you'd get a lot more sales. Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Urgent Update

*2017-09-19, version 3.8.1*

The program is good but if there's no an update it won't work with IOS 11.

Fantastic tool for presenting spinal anatomy and injuries!

### 5/5 — OMG

*2014-11-30, version 3.8.1*

more than best App

### 5/5 — Very helpful for students

*2014-02-24, version 3.7*

I am currently a DPT student and I have found this app to be a good tool in studying muscular anatomy of the spine. I have tried many other apps and this one so far is one of my favorites.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2014-01-18, version 3.7*

Very detailed. This will be very useful to explain various conditions to my patients.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2014-01-06, version 3.7*

I've had an amazing response to this app from patients and feel that it has contributed greatly to my ability to communicate more effectively.

### 5/5 — D

*2013-11-07*

Brilliant app for chiropractic report of findings and patient education.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-05-01, version 3.3.1*

I use this app to help me with my back and spine problems.  When I visit my doctor I take my iPad and we both review the app and details on my iPad.

I have several 3D4Medical apps and use them frequently.

### 5/5 — The best

*2013-03-29, version 3.3.1*

If you really take care about your spine, just take a look at this app.it will tell you everything you need to know.. Great App, Great Developer!!!!! No words would describe how happy I am that I've downloaded this app!!

### 5/5 — Outstanding!

*2013-03-09*

Simply Outstanding graphical interface, well worth the money.
Just a laymen here but I recommend this not just for Chiro or Med students but for those who have had spinal injury like me. It really helps clarify & visualize everything. Therapists need this to show the patient as a visual aid, etc etc etc.
