Simple yet Stunning
The app is phenomenal. I would recommend to anyone taking anatomy, especially for learning the muscles. You can remove the muscles by layers, which is excellent to understand the order and location of each. I love how they laid everything out. There's no flipping between pages to find certain parts of the body or systems. Theyre all on one page with one menu on each side of the screen you can tap to expand. You simply add or remove a system(s) to the skeleton, then tap an organ to view, which displays a caption beneath the skeleton with plenty of information. If the caption is in the way, you can move the skeleton until the area of interest is in view while the caption remains open. The options don't end here. Best app I've come across and well worth buying the add ons at $1.99 although not necessary.

Great app with one MAJOR flaw
First, I would like to preface this review by saying I LOVE this app. I have used it for 5 years now throughout my undergrad and now in grad school. In undergrad, I primarily used the Mac version of the app with absolutely zero complaints. Beautifully designed, great interface, really helpful, organized information and a cool interactive way to learn anatomy. Overall, great app. However, my one major flaw with the iPad version of the app corresponds with its ability to not recognize the Apple Pencil with certain functions. For example, when selecting a muscle, it works perfectly fine. But, when I try to use the Apple Pencil to tap something like “isolate” or “hide” or “fade” or whatever, it simply does not work. This is extremely frustrating, having to switch between using my fingers and using the pencil. It seems like a flaw or an oversight or something, and I would greatly appreciate amending this issue. After that, the iPad version of this app is easily 5 stars.

Useful for introductory level courses
I have had this app for about 2 and 1/2 years now: If you are an undergraduate student in health/exercise science programs, this app will be your best buddy. It will allow you to really understand everything you are learning and it’s location/orientation within the body. This app comes with so much information and really gets you the most out of the money, even if you don’t find yourself using all of it. The basic functioning is great and really smooth. However, once you begin upper level classes this app will not be what you are looking for. You will need to buy an atlas for access to material that this app does not include. All in all, you should buy this if you are an undergraduate student learning introductory anatomy, kinesiology, etc. You should not buy this app for advanced anatomy, radio graphic/ sectional anatomy, or most other upper level anatomies.
