flashy but empty

I purchased this app for my iPod a few days ago, wondering if I might be able to recommend it to my high school biology students. I was very disappointed. Some of the pictures are good, but despite the advertising, it is not really a game and the actual science content is quite limited. You get a brief pop up window of factoids when you click on some cell structures, but this does not occur for all structures. The so called animations consist of sparkling and wiggling images that give no sense of process or of relationships among the organelles. You can exhaust the full range and content of the app in approximately 10 minutes. I can not recommend it to my students or to anyone else. The only good news? It only cost a dollar. It might be of some use if it received a massive upgrade, both of graphics and of information, hence my title - flashy but empty.
Dull

Poor graphics, zooming is poor - just switching between levels with a blur transition. Animations are clumsy. Wish I'd spent my money on something else. I am a bio teacher, got excited and made a foolish impulse buy.
Slick and fun

Really enjoyed the zooming interface... helps give context and scale to things that are normally disconnected in textbooks. There are some great ideas here about how to educate with the iPad!
Woefully disappointing app

I teach high school biology and chemistry and purchased this app. It is mind-boggling in terms of slow loading and sluggish behavior. And, once started, it is not clear what the user is supposed to do. After the third time of waiting several minutes for it load, I deleted it. I wish I could rate this with negative stars to offset the five-star ratings that I believe are bogus.

This is non interactive. Doesn't work properly. Worse than a google search. Save your money. I'd love a refund. I explored everything in 2 minutes and it was completely unimpressive
It's about time!

I teach biology, and I have been hoping that someone would create an app like this! Great visuals and interface. I can't wait to show my colleagues.
Excellent!

I like that this app has the feel of an exploration and adventure. Not everything is apparent at first, but if you take some time and explore, there are incredible "sights" (and insights) hidden within.
Outstanding!

This app is amazing! The graphics are mind blowing! I am a 7th grade life science teacher and I am going to use this app to help my students learn about cells.
