Read full description

A complete biochemistry study app with a bonus night-shift mystery game. Drill every topic and read every pathway — then take a case on the metabolic service, where the same biochemistry is the only thing that tells you what's wrong with the patient. STUDY — EVERYTHING BEFORE THE EXAM (AND AFTER) • 3,300+ Practice Items: 37 drill topics from amino acids to metabolic integration — enzyme kinetics, the pathways, inborn errors, lab methods, the central dogma, and more. Built for course exams, MCAT review, and anyone coming back to biochemistry. • A Lesson for Every Topic: the rules, the traps, and figures drawn the way the exam draws them — kinetics plots and pathway boards you can actually read. • Flashcards & Cheat Sheets: 31 decks and 550+ cards with spaced review, plus pinned reference sheets — the pKa ladder, the control points, the compartments, the quick reference. • Mock Exams & the Course Map: build a practice test with pace presets and exam-style deferred feedback, fix what you missed, and clear units on the Course Map. • Mechanisms, Arrow by Arrow: 15 step-by-step walkthroughs — serine proteases, PLP, TPP, kinases, aldolases — one electron push at a time. PLAY — THE BONUS: A CLINICAL MYSTERY • Work the Night Service: seven floors of a hospital, from the nursery to the exercise lab. Patients arrive with a story — an infant who vomits after fruit juice, a runner with cola-colored urine — and your job is to find the enzyme that failed. • Read the Labs Yourself: order tests against a clock, a reagent budget, and one tube of blood that never refills. The instrument shows you the trace; it never tells you what it means. Misread it, and the wrong number goes in the file. • Place the Block: pin a block on one step of the pathway board and see what the body would do — what piles up, what runs out. When it matches the labs, you call the attending. Three answers, one phone call, no partial credit. • A Hospital with Secrets: every floor has its own story — a swapped formula lot, a visitor after hours, a signature from a clinic that closed last year. Look around, ask the right person, and find out. Free to try. One purchase unlocks everything — no subscriptions, no microtransactions.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Total Biochem at none against Orixo's shown. Total Biochem also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Orixo's advantage is ratings volume (4.2K vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
