    I bought this app because my kids are getting interested into anatomy and I wanted them to explore it in a kid friendly way. This was one of the apps I found that was age appropriate but it is a paid app , k was hesitant because the reviews are all old but have it a shot anyways. This app is great in detail and different features but I just don’t understand why there is random background sound and no audio saying the name of the body part?? And when you tap the name of the body part is falls?? I was so let down. There’s no real way to play in this app it’s only for explore and learning but for an app that’s designed for children you should include audible learning features, If they were to make a free version I could have seen and known for myself but no I had to pay for an almost useless app. And also why would you have the side bar with all the different viewing styles constantly close (something you continuously need to open over and over ) yet have an annoying right side bar of other features (that give no information on how to use) that cannot be closed and blocks the view from the body part? This app could have been good but it seems to be half way made, it’s a waste of money they should just make this a free version

  • A Little Clumsy But Very Interesting

    The apps controls are a bit clumsy, and it’s hard to view any system without interference from the side panel and there not being enough space to swipe the ‘switch’ all the way back and forth to change internal and external views. I feel like you could fully enjoy this app with an iPad instead of a phone. There’s just not enough space to explore everything without accidentally knocking over labels and things. It’s certainly better suited for kids than adults as it does not provide any readable content on each system or part- but if you’ve taken anatomy before (even just in high school) then it can be a nice reminder of our basic functions through basic observation. It’s cute and entertaining but the clumsiness of the controls and the lack of info provided confuses me- it doesn’t provide explanation for things- it seems the goal is to learn by watching the simple mechanics of each system- which can be confusing at times and made me want to look up how exactly something worked. If you’re looking to spark curiosity in a child this is a great app- if you’re looking for an app to actually learn about the human body and it’s functions then I’d turn to the internet instead.

    Hi & thank you so much for the review! We're sorry to hear that you were having trouble with the app's controls. We'd love to hear more about what you were experiencing so that we can improve the app. Please email us at support@tinybop.com 🙌 We've also created a handbook to go along with the app that explains a lot of the interactions and their functions. You can find the handbook in the parent dashboard of the app or here: https://tinybop.com/assets/handbooks/the-human-body/Tinybop-EL1-Human-Body-Handbook-EN.pdf.

  • Very cool -- update

    Monsterpapa77

    So, here's my update: my daughter had a huge stomach ache the other night right around bedtime (from eating a bunch of ice cream too late -- thanks grandparents). Because she's spent so much time playing with this app, she now has a very good mental picture of the digestive system and how it works. We were able to talk through what the problem was, and how it was going to resolve itself. Realizing that she knew what was going on made her instantly feel a lot better -- she still had a stomach ache, but it was a lot easier for her to take. It was really cool to see as a parent.Original review: Very cool app. It took a while to get my own turn to check it out as my daughter was enjoying it so much. App gives an overview of the main systems of the body. For each major system, there are a few sub areas where you can zoom in for a more detailed look -- such as hearing and smell for the nervous system and hip joint for the skeleton. At all levels you can interact with the body -- feed the digestive system, play music for the ears, etc... Essentially a fun electronic replacement for the model skeletons, hearts etc you see in classrooms and doctors offices.

  • Wonderful but needs an update

    I love this app. I am young yet I have my future planned as a nurse when I get older. I feel as though getting a head start is great and this is a great way to do that. However while graphics and video is great one thing bugs me… I switched on labels and while I found it helpful it did not show a few KEY things. Like how I had no clue what was the blue and red in the lungs. I got my mother (also nurse) to help me finally and then it made sense but I feel like she should not have to explain your app.Not implying that you should add more labels, you got enough of those, but possibly a voice option explaining whatever what the user clicks on and what it does. Also maybe add more on the mouth like more gum info. Possibly also make a little side thing on the side that tells children that the tooth on the app with the food is sped up. Currently it looks like you have to brush your teeth after you eat or drink anything or else your teeth will rot out. I was scared at first I was killing my teeth.

    You're in luck. We're working on a huge update to The Human Body which will be out in a month or two. It will include more expensive labels, a voice option, and hundreds of other improvements big and small. It will be free to all paid users. Good luck on your future career in medicine!----If you download the latest update you'll should be pleased to see we now have labels! Lots of other small improvements as well.

  • How to restore an in-app purchase?

    I mean, I’m sorry if I sound dumb if you’re seeing the name of who is writing this, but, I have no clue how I did it the first time around.Also, woah, the memories are kicking in. The memories like spilling my chocolate milk on my tablet and having the nervous system go nuts. The memories like having a dream about The Human Body By Tinybop brand gummies. The memories like having another dream about a sequel to it. It didn’t seem to offer anything interesting since when the dream ended, it was just me feeding the person. Also, yes, these are somehow real, I recall these because of just thinking about them.Anyways, great app, and even though I’m slightly blinded by nostalgia, holy heck, I loved this app. Hopefully I get to see the app focused on animals do even better than this if I decide to download it.

  • Great App! Have a suggestion though

    tigergirl729

    There is no doubt that this is a 5 star app. The animations, layers and action-reaction chains are simply amazing. It's clean, simple, and bright-all the things that make an app great. My only suggestion is to incorporate illnesses into this app such as chrons, lung disease, blindness, paralysis (make optional for multiple body parts including vocal chords) ADHD, anxiety, aspergers, autism, liver problems and joint pains. I would love to see how my body actually looks from the inside with my bilateral vocal chord paralysis, ADHD,anxiety, aspergers, one blind eye, dwarfed hand, and my constant joint pains. Maybe an option for those who have had a spinal fusion too...with these features, this app would be indispensable to the handicapped, their family's and hospitals nationwide. You've already got a winner, now you just need to leave everyone else miles behind.
