Anatom is a simple yet efficient app designed to thoroughly self-test and strengthen your anatomical knowledge of muscles, muscle functions, vessels, and nerves in just a few easy steps using digital flashcards. Our main features: Stacks: Bundles of anatomical items that you can fully customize, comparable to a pile of traditional flashcards. Randomisation: Choose from three different ways to present items in stacks: anatomical order, fully randomized, or intelligent mode. The last one intuitively randomizes items based on how they were last answered. Illustrations: For every item there is also a detailed illustration of the anatomical structure. Evaluation system: Easily evaluate your knowledge throughout the app with a three-color scale or a swipe action making the learning process intuitive and effective. Widgets: Stay informed about your progress and what lies ahead with our newly designed small and medium-sized widgets for the home and lock screen. Languages: Choose from three database languages: English, Spanish, and German. You can also switch to a Latin version at any time. Wikilinks: Quickly access the corresponding available Wikipedia site for deeper reference. Database: Gain direct access to the full database of anatomical items. Corrections: Make adjustments to our data as needed. Changes can be kept local or shared with us to further improve the app. Other features: Includes dark mode, reminders, tips, hints, and force touch functionality.

HistoLogic is a free study resource for people trying to learn tissue microscopy. It was designed for students in graduate medical education programs. Users of the app gain access to hundreds of high-quality images and helpful descriptions of the important cells, tissues, and structures in multiple organ systems created by faculty at University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria. Explore mode allows students to learn about cells in different organs and their functions in the body. Toggle between low and high magnification images of each organ. Specialized cells are clearly highlighted, and the underlying text describes their appearance and role. The app also contains Time Trial mode with multiple choice questions at escalating difficulty levels. There are over 350 different questions to test your knowledge across multiple organ systems. The Time Trial questions challenge you to beat your old score with each login. The question order is randomized with each gaming session, and the app adapts to your previous play through. True histology pros can test their skill in Hot Streak mode. This mode forces you to answer all 90 questions for an organ system in a single sitting. One wrong answer boots you back to the beginning and resets the question order. Can you make it all the way to the end? Features: • View hundreds of histology images across multiple organ systems. • Toggle between high quality images at low and high-power magnification. • View hand-drawn outlines for important cells, tissues, and structures. • Examine organs and learn their important histological features with Explore mode. • Review histology questions in Time Trial mode with three difficulty settings. • Strain your brain to answer all 90 questions per organ system in a single run of Hot Streak. • Enjoy endless replays as questions order is randomized for each session. • Detailed rationale for each question is clearly described in case you answer incorrectly. • Randomization adapts to your scores; previously missed items are prioritized in later game sessions. • Additional organ systems to come.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HistoLogic at none against Anatom's 4. HistoLogic also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
