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.
