The Best Anatomy App out there – Zygote 3D Anatomy Atlas & Dissection Lab Review

Pros: - It has actual, real, true 3D scrolling, zooming and panning. Not like most of the junk out there that claims to be 3D but actually isn't - The ability to sort, filter and add by organs, regions, systems, tissues or individual parts - Includes all macroscopic, physiological systems of the human body - Ability to reset, restore and save current views and settings - The slice option. Seriously, this is cool. Those with a medical background will appreciate the ability to view in coronal, sagittal and transverse views, or any combination in between. - It's an evolved version of Google Body / Zygote body, so a large history of development is going into this app and I'm certain there will be plenty of updates and added features in the future Cons: - scroll and rotate controls are a little sluggish/slow, increased sensitivity would make a big difference - inability to hide an individual muscle/part (after double-tapping, parts seem to reappear when you try to rotate again) - difficult to select veins, arteries, lymph vessels & nerves visually unless you scroll in very close - individual piece selection (eg pectorals) doesn't give any biomechnical or detailed information, only "This is part of the thorax". This appears to be almost placeholder information for more detailed info to be put in there in the future. - only available in the US store. This is a *massive* con, and if it become available in the UK and Australian stores I'm sure it would see a lot more success. Not a con, but it's peculiar that Zygote continue to clothe their homunculi. This is an educational tool, let's try to overcome this Victorian prudishness and show the human body as it actually is. This app is worth every cent of the $28. I have been using Google Body / Zygote Body for years and throughout my diploma and degree, and have been waiting for this app for almost as long. While there are a few cons, they are easily outweighed by the pros. $28 might seem expensive for an app but if you really want to get the best anatomy app available on *any* mobile platform, this is the one. I don't think you'd regret the purchase. (Qualifed PT and 3rd year Medical Science/Exercise Physiology student).
