This app used to be amazing! Im not a medical professional (I teach college chemistry) but have always been fascinated by the human body. When I discovered this app last year, I fell in love! I learned more about the body and diseases in a few short months than I had in my entire life. Sadly, that mostly ended after the update-of-exclusion a short while back. The powers that be decided that Figure1 was no longer to be the wonderful educational community that I had grown to love, and eliminated most of the features that made it so. Before, the community of practicing doctors would often post cases for med students to try to solve and were so friendly and warm and supportive as they guided them toward the correct diagnoses. Ive noticed that this type of activity has decreased to almost nothing from what it was before. Or, perhaps, Im only allowed to see this little because Im not of the anointed class? I didnt know it was possible to be personally offended by an app update until this app update. Thanks, Figure1 for this last, truly memorable educational experience. FWIW, the app still has some value. And if youre new to it (and not a medical professional) youll never know how much you missed out on, so, its probably worth a try. However, I am heartbroken that this "update" destroyed such a brilliant resource.
