POMT is...
- meant to be a general introduction to the science behind cells and genetics
- an ever-expanding visual guide to the microcosm (More content is constantly in the works)
- a relatively seamless zooming experience that emphasizes the interconnectedness of life's processes at different levels of magnification
- originally developed to supplement late middle school to early high school introductory science curriculum
Produced with funding from the National Science Foundation, Powers of Minus Ten is perfect for a general introduction to the structures of the cell and key molecular processes.
The iPad version includes instructional mini-games.
Topics covered include: mitosis, transcription, translation, cell parts, and DNA replication.

Glitches & Outdated
I really want to use this and the bone POMT… but the software hasn’t been updated in a few years. The bone POMT is completely unusable. This is an amazing model to use in the classroom, hopefully the apps can be updated ASAP so they’re usable.
Developer needs to update app
First message you get on opening. This app hasn't been updated in 4 years and the last updates were merely language fixes. Not worth $2 - not enough info and graphics are dated.
Educational
Cute app
Pretty Good
I love this app, I just wish it could zoom in on red blood cells.
Amazing and beautiful
This is serious app. The download takes a while. I installed it on an iPhone 5 without problem. Got me psyched but the screensiwe does not do the app justice. I also ran it on an old iPad. Much easier to interact with the ux. however I cannot go deeper than the skin without crashing. Not sure what's happening. This is frustrating.

The app is great but it quits after 5min
Please fix
Tramendous
Tramendous work.
Plz next should be of heart,not of leaf.And in which month you will release?
A good start - not enough detail
I got bored after 1 minute of use. The concept is great but it felt underdeveloped. There is not enough detail on the several layers. As an example, only red blood cells are seen during blood flow. The cytoplasm is awfully lacking detail. This app is a good intro for someone the age of 4, such as my daughter who already knew the contents presented. The automatic panning should be removed from the application; don't make it the default operational mode. It is inconvenient to hold the iPad flat to prevent the automatic panning. Keep working on it. It is a great concept, just prematurely released.
Amazing!!!!!!
Thanks to this app I pass my second biology exam with 97%!! :D
Outstanding!
This app is amazing! The graphics are mind blowing! I am a 7th grade life science teacher and I am going to use this app to help my students learn about cells.
