   Liked the quality of the images, however not sure of the pedagogical value of having this app on your iPhone. An atlas product like the anatomical flash cards is much more appropriate/useful. Best of all a reference product like Skeletal System Plus which covers the skeleton in its entirety.

   For me the beauty of a medical iPhone app is either as a working tool, or as an anytime, anywhere reference/learning tool.
