At the start only three bones are quizzed, but more are added as long as you submit correct answers. This way the difficulty gradually increases based on your performance.
Quizzing has two modes; Tap to learn and Spin to learn.
In Tap to learn the name of a bone is displayed and you're supposed to tap the correct bone. Double tap to submit the reply.
In Spin to learn an image with a highlighted bone is presented. You're supposed to select the correct name from a list of bones below the image. The list always contains the correct answer as well as bones with similar names. For example, if the bone trapezium is displayed the list always contains trapezoid as well. This makes sure that you learn to distinguish between bones that are easy to mix up.
Both quiz modes are designed to be pedagogical. For example, if you make a mistake the correct answer is displayed and you're given another attempt. Incorrect replies also cause those bones to be more likely to appear again, thus focusing you're study effort where it is most needed.
Names that are used in an everyday setting (for example knee cap) and medical settings (for example patella) are included, and clearly distinguished between. In addition to English the names in Latin are included. To ensure correct terminology the names are verified using several anatomical textbooks and the Terminologia Anatomica.
An atlas is also provided in case you want to look up the name of a particular bone.

Very good

Usually don’t write reviews this may be my first, but this app works great and helps u master the skeletal system fast happens to be a bit fun as well. Good job!
Simple but effective

This is definitely time consuming given you generally go through clicking the same few bones before gaining a new one but it’s a great way to start learning the names. The pictures do a great job of breaking the bone up surprisingly. They aren’t super fancy like some apps but the pictures work perfectly for learning. This won’t be my only study tool but certainly helpful when I can’t whip out a text book or laptop!

Currently taking anatomy and physiology and this is really helping. I can now go to a model skeleton and start losing bones
Easy to use and helpful on the go

This is the perfect study tool, going from knowing ‘patella’ to all the basic bone structures that appear in this app in about a week with about 30 minutes of work a day is pretty amazing and the best part is they stick. I love this app and I recommend highly!

While considering a change in careers at age 60, I was concerned about learning and memorizing anatomy. In two days I’ve learned quite a bit of the skeletal anatomy, Boosting my confidence in reentering college with the possibility of entering the health care field at this stage of my life. This is a very helpful application.
