iCell

Amazingly done. To improve it, there should be a vocab feature and a quiz to test you on the information. If more apps were made by this company regarding other science topics, I would even pay for the apps!!!!

The first time I saw the page with all the organelles inside the cell, I was mesmerized. It was beautiful to see all that complexity inside the cell, and then be able to sort it out. This should be a great learning tool. The graphics are simple but very good. I wish you could click on ribosomes to get a description of those, but they did a good job describing them in the description for endoplasmic reticulum.

This Huntsville, AL company has and is doing great things for Alabama such as the iCell app. They have trained some 160,000 plus folks as part of their goal of getting more students to major in biology. iCell is only one training tool, but an astounding one. Gets my vote of 5 stars. HudsonAlpha promises to be a leader in biotechnology throughout the world. Substantial and very significant impacts have been made in the short life of this corporation. The outreach to the Huntsville community has been spectacular with the continuation of Biotech 101 and 201 classes. And throughout Alabama teachers and students in the thousands have been engaged in such a way that the term biotechnology is much less a science fiction thing than it is a real here and now thing capable of saving lives and literally turning the field of medicine it a totally different direction for patient health. The iCell app allows students and teachers to learn in more depth the fundamental aspects of life.

tremendous app for bio students

You can view plant, animal, and bacteria cells. You can also change the difficulty level of the text and rotate the cell, viewing it at different distances.

My son and I were instantly fascinated with this application. This is an extremely helpful tool for my children and I enjoy learning with them.

More please, the tip of the iceberg is not quite enough, but thank you!

It is helpful for students and a good tool for beginning learners however some information is false. For example there are no Lysosomes in Plant cells but in the diagram for plant cells this app shows them. Also, movement around the cell should be easier for the user. NOT NEARLY AS GOOD AS OTHER APPS LIKE IT.
