The Skeletal System Pro III - includes the most in depth 3D skeleton ever developed, the ability to rotate, cut and get superior/inferior views all with the simple stroke of the finger.

This app’s primary use is as a learning tool but can also be used as a fast and innovative reference tool by utilizing the index function which allows the user to select an item and the app will automatically zoom in and identify it.

Additionally, this app is ideal for physicians, educators or professionals, allowing them to visually show detailed areas of the skeletal system to their patients or students - helping to educate or explain conditions, ailments and injuries.

Pros and cons of Skeleton System Pro III-iPhone app for iPhone and iPad

Skeleton System Pro III-iPhone app good for

Great app I am a kinesiologist and I use this app all the time. The 3 dimensional views helps clientele with what is going on in their body be it ligaments bones etc... I have some of the other anatomy apps but none as high quality as this. If you havent gotten it yet get it!
Love this app, not a doctor or anything but Im learning a lot
The new drag & drop quiz platform and controls are great. This app is helping me immensely in A&P, and now its much easier to use. Thanks!
Very clever to use drag and drop for quizzes. Screen slides automatically. Very good!
It looks like it will be a good tool for studying....I just wish it was a little easier to manipulate.
You will find this app runs well, and can identify, demonstrate the motion of, or quiz you on anything in the human skeletal structure. Great companion to the Pro III Muscle app.

Some bad moments

Features are ok.. But it doesnt list all the features per bone- or let u look at individual bones on their own.
The visuals are great... But the app would go from being ok to great if you were able to remove bones or better yet look at bones individually. Its annoying trying visualize the carpal bones of the wrist when its clumped in with the forearm humerus and shoulder
This really helped me study all the bones we had to learn for anatomy. It seriously saved me from failing the exam, must buy because its worth the money!
Just paid $2.99 for this app and it continues to freeze up on me. How am I supposed to study when this app cant even work for 2 minutes without freezing. So annoying.
Anyone else notice that you can only search the index if the language is Latin?! If its in English it crashes. Am I doing something wrong? Someone help.
Every time I use the index it closes on me and wont show the bone Im looking for!
