Bon potentiel mais peut largement mieux faire!

• ★★★★☆   Edolceveneredirimmel 10 years ago ( v 1.0 )

Bon logiciel didactique. Il serait bien plus rentable si on avait la possibilité de faire une playlist des vidéos qu’on utilise le plus. C’est trop long d’aller chercher la vidéo lorsqu’on est en consultation! Il serait également intéréssant de créer d’avantage de clips sur les pathologies musculaires. Aussi, à quand la version en français??

Okay app but not great

I bought this app, thinking it was the same kind of app as their Essential Anatomy one. I work as a PT and I use this app all the time with my patients. Buying this app, I thought it was going to be a great asset to the Ess.Anat, with the same kind of functions and a more interactive interface. However, this app is only an app with animations, it is not possible to change the views of the animations or select specific anatomical structures. It basically plays a video and that is all. Not worth its price, although the animations are pretty cool. Would not recommend it and really wish I would get a refund.

Great app!

Im so pleased to have this patient education tool available on my Mac. Its incredibly helpful to have video for patients to watch as it really opens lines of communication and makes for more productive consultation sessions. The selection of conditions available to choose from and their quality are excellent. Im looking forward to continued updates.
