This is a great way to learn about cell membranes and how they work. It's also great for teachers (I am a teacher) because it can be used to assess student learning with its built in score sheet. Very useful for students of cell biology.

Interactive but still needs a little cosmetic touch ups. Ads constantly cover buttons and I am stuck on a information screen that isn't dismissed when I hit 'I Understand'. Needs some work, but this game has potential.

We are currently studying cells in biology and this has helped me a lot! While not the best game it gets the information across so you remember.

I was checking this for potential use by my middle school students and the app is nice for hand on construction of membrane, but I can't read most screens on my iPhone due to iAds. Not sure if this would happen on iPad since its quite an ordeal to get a new app on the school iPads- hence the trial run on my phone. I won't be requesting this to be installed for my students.

A useful tool to help students learn about diffusion and osmosis. At first it appears that the ads interfere with the game, but they can be removed as they pop up by tapping on the "X" to the right on the screen.

Game needs SERIOUS work for it to be any good. My Biology teacher made us play this for class and the "build a membrane" would screw me up every time even though I had done it right. I had to go back and do it like 10 times.....other than that it was all funzies

For middle grade levels, this is a very good visualization tool that will engage the Type III and IV learners in the classroom (the concrete, hands-on learners). Does a good job explaining how membrane components work together to keep a cell alive, how each component works (and why), and engages the user for each step. The only downside are the iADs. Yes, they can be dismissed by tapping an x-close, but this is tedious, intrusive, and welcomes problems in a classroom setting as students are likely to inadvertently (or deliberately) tap an ad be get derailed. Easily a five-star app if they'd just lose the ads!
