Pro Create your own workout
There is a drag and drop feature that allows you to create your own workouts. Because of the ability to see how each exercise will act on specific muscles, this is a great app for creating corrective workout plans.
Pro 3D model clearly shows muscular system
The app uses a 3D model that you can rotate, zoom in, and view 3 layers of muscle.
Pro Ideal for learning which exercises act on which muscles
iMuscle 2 explains how an exercise acts on both the primary and secondary muscles. It allows you to select a muscle and see a list of exercises for strengthening and stretching it.
Con Not specifically an educational app
With this app, you learn more about the muscular system by exploring the different muscles and which exercises act on those muscles. It's not specifically set up as a learning resource for anatomy (there are no flashcards, quizzes etc.).
Pro Single purchase / sans subscription
You can just buy the app outright via single In App Purchase (IAP), they did away with the subscription model.
Con No female model (yet)
A female model is in the works, but is unavailable at the moment.
Pro Every structure can be viewed from all angles
The app is fully 3D, allowing you to rotate the model and see specific structures from all angles.
Con Can be difficult to navigate
Navigating around the app isn't intuitive and can take some time to get used to.
Pro Great organization of anatomy
The UI and hierchy of systems and body parts makes the most sense compared to other anatomy apps. It is name/text based rather than icon which helps in clarity and learning/memorization.
Pro Sharing friendly
Other software requires you to explicitly contact the company if you want to create or use images from the software to share, be it a patient or friends/family member or while teaching (think power point or walking students through a procedure). Biodigital Human explicitly makes sharing of images...
Con Subscription model for Premium
$48 annual subscription ($4 / month).
Con No desktop client
It lacks a client for Mac or Windows nor Linux. Only webapp is available for these platforms.
Know any positive aspects of this option?
Con Expensive
At $69.99, it's one of the more expensive options.
