Don't you ever wonder why someone rates an app way off from the majority of other reviews. With an app as quality as this one ( and the rest of their family of apps) why are there some one star reviews? Unfortunately it really diminishes the power of the whole system of customer ratings. Anyway, this app is by far above the quality and standards of any other anatomy based app. It works flawlessly, the information is very accurate, design is great, interface is easy to use ( especially for the function, it could have been much more difficult), and the developers have consistently made improvements and add information since they first published this app.I would recommend this for anyone that is interested in the human muscle system. It is accessible to the young student all the way through advanced students. Great for learning muscles, actions, insertion and attachment points , and it is also great for reviewing what you already know.

This app is overall a high quality product. However there could be many improvements for it to be worth the money. The information is abundant and accurate. Navigating between areas of the body is not the easiest task. When in the Navigation menu you can collapse an area of the body to focus on the none collapsed areas (which would be the area(s) that you are studying) it doesn't stay collapsed however. So when you have to return to the Navigation menu you have to filter through all the areas of the body again. The quizzes that are provided are helpful and the multiple choice and matching options are nice. However at the end of a matching period the right answers are displayed and then the program moves to another group of questions. There should be a pause or an advance button before this occurs so it gives the user a chance to learn from her/his mistakes. There are many other little complains that could easily be fixed with a new version.

As with all of 3D4's apps, this one is good. The engine works well, and it is very easy to navigate the body. There are a couple of reasons I can't give this app, or the others, 5 stars. 1. Graphics - I have been underwhelmed by the resolution of the models. They may look good on an older version, but I'm not impressed with the appearance on the Retina display of the iPad 3. 2. Posture - This is extremely picky: In every full-body app, the head carriage of the model is significantly anterior. A reference like this should have all models in a neutral anatomical position. 3. Pins - I get that it's easy to use an API to put pins everywhere, but pins are terrible for studying anatomical drawings. Lines (a la Netter's printed atlas) obscure far less adjacent anatomy. If you're studying a small area, it's quite possible to have enough pins marking landmarks that you can't see the anatomy any more without hiding them entirely. 4. Detail - This app might be appropriate for undergraduate students of anatomy. It is great for patient education. However, it does not contain nearly the level of detail required to be a useful resource for a doctoral student. More landmarks need to be identified (in this app, and particularly in Skeletal System Pro) so that students don't have to waste time making hundreds of custom pins.

The recent changes continue to improve this group of apps. I am a Physical Therapist and the recent addition of different animations of surgeries and changes to the transverse, sagital and coronal views are helpful. Would love to see the ability to do 3 D modeling and make the "cuts" where I want them instead of limited to the software. I have used many different models to explain anatomy, surgeries and rational for exercise programs but patients are amazed and their level of understanding increases with these apps. The addition of animations for surgeries and common pathologies are great. I look forward to more. I frequently get "thank you" from our patients for taking the time to explain. 3D4, keep the changes coming.

This app has promise, but is much more static than I had hoped. The "scalpel" tool does not allow the addition or removal of specific structures, but rather is a "layer" tool, that adds and removes sets of pre-defined structures. While some rotation and panning is possible, these are again pretty static. One can not pan continuously through the whole body, but only within each pre-defined region, making some views impossible (at the boundaries of the pre-definied regions). The rotation is also quite limited: rather than free, 3D rotation, rotations are restricted to one or two axes depending on the region.Full-body panning, full 3D rotation, and a scalpel tool (or checkboxes on the muscle list) that allows addition or removal of arbitrary structures would make this worth the high-price. A good start, please bring this to maturity!

Absolutely amazing app for studying anatomy! This app has so many features that make it stand out, from pin customizing to the 3D views, but one of my favorite features is the layering function. This allows the user to make layers fade from view, all the way down to the skeleton. Once the last layer has been removed, with a simple tap the exact areas that each muscle connects to the bone are highlighted. This is one amazing app! I have the pleasure of owning the skeleton app from 3D4Medical also, and it is equally wonderful! I highly recommend this series for anyone that is studying anatomy or with the need to reference the human body with stunning clarity.

I bought this app, thinking it would be a great help for my human anatomy course in medical school. However, while going through the course, I realized that the muscles of the mouth, pharynx, etc. we're missing. Also, one other issue is that you can't search for a muscle from a different angle. If you search for the particular muscle, the camera rotates the body back to angle that the program always assumes to view muscles. You can't, for example, pick an angle of your choosing, then have the program find the muscle from that perspective. In the end... The program is not deep enough to satisfy a medical school student or a healthcare professional. However, it might be a good teaching tool for high school students , or be a good preview for college students who want a taste of anatomy.

This is an amazing app and very powerful teaching aid for instructors of any healthcare students, or to use during patient education. It would be really nice if you could save images and/or drag and drop them directly into presentations or documents that you're creating on your iPad (other 3D anatomy apps let you do this) instead of having to email them to yourself, that's a bit of a pain. It would also be great to be able to save/export animated gifs to put into Keynote or PowerPoint presentations. That would be a huge plus over other comparable apps. Overall, great app!

As a medical librarian I bought this app last year and loved it, but this new upgrade is astounding. These apps have been incredibly useful at accelerating learning. It shouldn't be underestimated the part that teaching / learning aids like this will have in revolutionizing how anatomy will be taught in the future as well as making it highly accessible to a wider audience. In the last month this app has become a huge hit here. As a reference guide it is medically bang on and as a learning tool it cannot be surpassed.Keep it up….Dr. Stephen

This app is well worth the money you spend on it. If your taking A&P I&II this will be very helpful and a great way to memorize locations of specific muscles you need to know for class. There is a built in quiz that tests your knowledge and is great to get you prepared for a big test. I would like it if you could type in the answers as a way to help memorize the correct spelling so I hope you developers read this and take my advice. I would like to purchase the bundle now as a tool for future reference. Good work and compliments to the developing team.
