Leonardo da Vinci: Anatomy

For any lover of Leonardo art or drawing the human form, this app is outstanding. Well documented, excellent graphics and I love the mirror, to enable viewing his writings the corrects way around. Absolutely excellent.

Being a fan of Leonardo DiVinci for some time...I had to buy this. No regrets...the price tag is quite expensive but is worth every penny if you love his stuff.

And no option to delete videos to save size.

Truly the best book on the iPad,Wonderful all round,And truly must have for anyone interested in Human Biology.

Sublime - the future of publishing.

Bought the app after visiting the exhibition at Queen's Gallery. Both superb if you like Leonardo's drawings. Originals are really brought to life with the app, being able to zoom in, look at mirrored view of his writing and have his text translated on the drawings all fantastic in helping me understand his anatomy work. Information button also provides a pop up explanation of each drawing. Again really helpful in providing immediate focussed information. There are also some interactive images alongside a text by the curator of Windsor library on Leonardo's life and work with video snippets from experts talking about his work. I thought the first few reviews were from 'sponsored' reviewers but the app was on display at the exhibition and after a quick play I bought it the minute I got home, it made the physical book look quite staid and boring, and it really does make you realise what they could do to bring books alive! By far the most I've spent on an app but is good value if you treat it as the high quality book you are really purchasing and it won't get dusty on your bookshelf!

I love this book it shows the art of the possible for digital publishing, the interactive features are understated and not gimicky but genuinly add value I was reluctant to play 9.99 but it really is value for money For me I am informed and hsve been able to. Use the dr awings for practicing my own drawing I look forward to more good quality interactive media

Truly and utterly marvellous. It would be worth buying an iPad just for this app. Fabulous material, of course, but the presentation is beautiful too, with detailed zoom, mirror facility to read the original writing, instant translation, even a UV view. App of the decade.

A fantastic app. I have been enamoured of Leonardo's drawings since I came across them in a library aged 5 and they took my breath away. At the intersection of art and science, they continue to inspire me decades later. This app combines textual descriptions with multimedia and user interaction. You can expand the drawings and read Leonardo's famous mirror writing in translation or simply marvel at the careful cross hatching and shading that create the multi-level 3D illusion. Leonardo was ahead of his time with these anatomical studies, even spotting how the aorta really functions, something not rediscovered until the beginning of the 20C. It's a bit pricey, but apps don't come much better than this. You'll pore over it again and again.

A beautifully produced title full of informative text and narrative that really brings the anatomical drawings of the great master to life. The ability to study these drawings at close hand and in high resolution is wonderful and with the added ability to 'decode' Leonardo's own notes makes this app truly unique. I like the juxtaposition of the drawings and the modern 3D visualisations but I'm not sure they add that much to the understanding of the drawings and Leonardo's great skill as a scientist and artist. What they do try to do is demonstrate how accurate his direction and observational studies really where and this is truly staggering and thought provoking. Touch Press set the bar quite high for these types of iPad apps. Well done
