Pros
Pro 3 apps in 1 (in app purchases)
With this app you can purchase the more detailed muscular (think Muscle System Pro) and skeletal systems (Skeletal System Pro) to work within Essential Anatomy instead of having 3 separate stand alone applications with minor variations in the display of details and features. Having it all within one app is nice. You can't do this with the visible body line of applications for example.
Pro Feels like a real Mac program
With Mac menu bar entries, a working toolbar, and settings (albeit very bare!) it actually feels like a Mac application rather than just a bare window with flash content (unity player actually) like the Visible Body line of applications do.
Pro Recomended by a massage therapist and educator
