Im a 2nd year neuroscience PhD student in med neuro (the medschool version) and this app is quite helpful. But should probably be used as a adjunct rather than a replacement. The details of the sections themselves are too ambiguous and cartoonish for any real gross/histological distinction. How ever the 3D brain rotation and the quiz that makes you hunt down that particular region of interest is amazing! Each "pin"gives an explanation, location, and clinical relevance I.e. lesions thereof do what? Etc. Netters neuroscience app doesnt even do that. With that said lacking parts would be:
1) need to make slide with much higher detail *brainstem mostly
2)ability to make your own pins as well
3)image rotation forces perfect x or y rotation only
4) have a Mac/ pc version!!
5) please add the ability to limit the range of questions in the quizzes. I.e. quiz by sections( cortex, blood supply etc) - not a million questions all jumbled up about everything
Anyway, major props for:
1) programming- everything but rotation is smooth, nice and neat!
2) clinical relevance feature I.e USMLE awesome....
3) amazing written details. Not too complex either- very readable.
4) clinical cases are cool and use full to work through but there are just a few of those.
5) cheap price for what you get!
I have this and netters both. Each app excels where the other is lacking. But I fully recommend this app. It seriously is amazing. It would probably be even better of I had it on an iPad. (I only have an iPhone).
Regardless, I say:
med students: yes
PhD students: mostly yes. (no real molecular/ cellular stuff)
Awesome app though. Well done please add detail soon- my final exam is tomorrow!
