Mindprint Expert Review

Pros

  • App can serve as a useful reference that covers main topics in anatomy and physiology.
  • Each topic is broken down into a concise lesson with straight-forward bullet points and, in most cases, a supporting diagram.
  • The app is straight-forward with no distracting features and easy-to-read text.

Considerations

  • The concise explanations will be insufficient for some new or struggling students.
  • Although the timer can be adjusted to up to an hour, the on-screen timer and report card letter grade may discourage some students.
  • The app is bland with no engaging features.

Mindprint Expert Review

This app can be a helpful supplemental reference for students studying or who need to refresh their anatomy and physiology, but they should have a good foundation if they intend to use this app independently. The app has the feel of a straight-forward textbook with clear diagrams and text but no engaging features. Content is divided into two chapters, anatomy and physiology, and further broken into 13 sub-sections for physiology and 3 for anatomy. Students can easily scroll to find the topic they need or do a free search of the entire app. The explanations are provided in a series of succinct bullets, often with a supporting diagram. The explanations are clear and concise and will be useful for students who need to refresh their learning or remember a specific definition or topic. However, students who struggle with the topics might feel confused trying to follow along independently as they might find the explanations insufficient. Each topic includes digital flashcards derived directly from the chapters which are easy to use to test oneself. Students may also take multiple-choice quizzes which are based on the chapter content, provide immediate correction, can be re-taken, and provide a report card which includes a score and a letter grade (A-F). Overall, this is a good app, but students who struggle should plan to use it in combination with more in-depth instruction and adult support.
