Description
***Updated 3.2***
Now with a faster load time and fixes for crashes during startup.
We kept the name and the icon, but have rebuilt almost everything else based on suggestions we received from you, the users. iCell 3.0 includes all new 3D models of cellular organelles that are more accurate and realistic than those previously released on the iPhone/iPad. We have included additional organelles previously not found in the iPhone/iPad app. The iPad version also supports the ability to choose among three levels of detail in the descriptions of the cellular structures. Finally, we have redesigned the user interface with new menus and quicker load times between cell types. As always, iCell allows users a 3D view inside of a typical plant, animal and bacterial cell. Easily navigable and simple to use, iCell gives users an intuitive tool to compare animal, plant and bacterial cell structure.
iCell gives students, teachers, and anyone interested in biology a 3D view inside a cell. Included are examples of three types of cells: animal, plant, and bacteria. Learn about the various parts of the cell, which biologists, biochemists, and DNA researchers at the HudsonAlpha Institute study and use to advance the limits of biotechnology.
You can use your finger to tap on parts of the cell to select and zoom in on that particular organelle. Each organelle comes with a name and a short description of its function in the cell.
For a better view of each cell, hold down one finger on the screen, and drag to rotate around the cell or selected organelle. You can zoom in and out by pinching or flaring with two fingers at once.
We hope you enjoy!
What's New in Version 3.2
Significantly faster load and bug fixes for crashes on start.
Customer Reviews
Needs more
This app is excellent but I think this needs different cells, maybe cancer virus or white blood etc.
Boring after looking at it we need new information
It looks great and it's very interesting but you know you can only look at so much I wish it would give you a actual dictionary that you could look up different items and different scenarios it's great for what it is. Free
Excellent quality for a free app.
Thank you to the developer for sharing this app. I used it as a means of showing my son an introduction to the cell.
