Complete Anatomy For IPad Customer Service

I bought this app through the App Store for about $50 a year ago. The program worked well and was a useful resource until an update appeared in my iPad about a month ago offering the beginnings of the female model. After updating I was surprised that the app now only has VERY limited functionality. The program is holding me hostage until I “Upgrade” for another $50! No where did this program say it is an annual subscription when I initially bought it. Why do I have to pay again?? I emailed the app maker and of course there was no response to my request for help. There is no way to restore my previous, full-function app. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP UNLESS YOU HAVE MONEY TO BURN. Boycott this app until your purchase is actually honored! It is unfortunate that I will remove it from my iPad and tell every medical professional I know in the Denver Colorado area to STAY AWAY.... UPDATE: Nicola at 3D4 contacted me with new information and assistance. It turns out I created the problem by (last year) cancelling my email service with gmail. This orphaned my account because I failed to update to my new email address with 3D4Medical. Nicola swapped my email accounts and my app works properly now. I apologize for concluding the app had turned into a subscription service (as others have...). Thankfully I received excellent support and rescind the scathing comments I made in haste above. I enjoy and value the app.

I'm not a medical student nor do i intend to be, but i AM an artist. this app is incredibly useful but it is expensive; for good reason, but i think there should be a license for artists specifically (to have access to the models and breakdowns of the models specifically; the videos primarily and things meant to go in huge detail are pretty unneccessary for the purposes i use the app for). plus maybe some 'model' modes for artists? idk, i'll definitely keep using the app, but i think that having professional artists come in and help design a license option for other artists would be good. this app is by FAR the bets app i've found for in depth explanations of the human anatomy (side note: additional animations for muscles would also be amazing!! i love this app and i am aware its meant for the medical industry, but it can definitely stay like that and have features for artists as well) all the devs are doing amazing and i definitely would reccommend this app if i knew any medical students personally LOL

Complete Anatomy is the one stop shop for any medical student or student in allied health fields, who is searching for an all-inclusive anatomy app. Not only does this app have a detailed atlas of anatomy of every single organ system, but it also has amazing functions that argument one’s learning, like the ability to sections through tissues, animate the motions specific muscles, and specifically track nerves along complex pathways. This app also has included courses that are in-app purchases, but are very worthwhile when studying, and you know that your lecture material from school isn’t helpful. The lectures included in the app definitely guide you along structures and functions you need to know for specific area. The app is also a great way for health professionals to promote patient education about symptoms they might be experiencing or their conditions. One can simply pull out the app and demonstrate to patient why they are feeling pain in the neck or joints by animating the motion of those muscles and showing where the problem may be!

I finished med school in 2014 and it’s startling to me that we’ve gone from paging through an anatomy atlas to this incredible interactive resource in that short time. I don’t think it’s a reach to call it game changing. I’m glad to have it now and wish it were around back in the “dark ages” (2009) when I was learning anatomy. OK, having said that, I managed to find something to complain about: I really enjoy using the ipad pro with the magic keyboard and the app does not integrate well with the keyboard. can’t click on items with the trackpad and manipulating images with it is buggy. not sure if an update of the keyboard (from apple) or from the app itself is needed but a solution would be greatly appreciated as using the keyboard which works very well with other apps I use spares the beautiful images in the app (and screen) from my grimey fingers. Thanks!

I’m a pre-Med student, and I really love the design of this app. The realism is amazing and the details and easy of function is delightful. In deciding which app to purchase for an anatomy and physiology study and exploration tool I came across complete anatomy because it was very attractive and the free trial truly gave me a sense of need for the app. I would love for the app to sky rocket in improvements and updates, and I really hope we can surpass the features found in some of the other options offered for 3D Anatomy and Physiology platforms. My biggest anticipation is hopefully a feature to take complete cross section of the model to be able to compare to cadaver and CT scans as seen in Human Anatomy Atlas. I would also love for the ability to search content as well. Also more pathology, clinical and physiology related material would take this app to a whole new level and I would be extremely thrilled to find that in future updates! Keep up the greatness Complete Anatomy!

I purchased this app after using, and being impressed by, the older 3D4 skeletal and muscle system apps. I am blown away at how useful this thing is. I am not a doctor; my official account status is “Enthusiast”. I have found this extremely useful for consultation with my physician; I can go into a system and see what the doctor is actually talking about and have a base understanding of the nomenclature. When my doctor saw it, she freaked out; she said they don’t have anything this good. It has increased my understanding of body systems immeasurably. Also, I work and travel to rural China regularly, where health care, by any Western standard, is nonexistent. I can keep tabs on myself to understand if there is anything I need to go to a city to deal with. Additionally, customer support is excellent. I had a couple issues, they were handled within 24 hours with emails that were written by actual humans that understood what I was asking and provided immediate answers and solutions. Jonathan and Nicole were both extremely helpful. If you’re on the fence about which anatomy app to purchase, this is the one for the time being.

I have used this company’s apps since their conception way back when I was in high school almost 10 years ago. They have helped me out a lot throughout the years. I do wish the iPad app would work with my Magic Mouse 2 now that it is supported on almost all my other apps. I also miss the quizzes I could create on previous versions. With that being said when my student subscription ends it will be the end of my journey with this app for me. The subscription model may be worth it for some just starting their anatomical studies but for me it is not worth a yearly payment. If the app offers a 1 time purchase perhaps I will reconsider re-downloading the application again as a reference. If you are a college student or even in a graduate program such at PT or OT this app is worth the subscription while you’re in school.

Complete Anatomy has been incredibly helpful in my studies, and I normally don’t leave reviews — but this issue needs attention. When using the Apple Pencil to interact with the 3D model, the app suddenly stops responding to finger input. You can still pinch to zoom, but rotation and structure selection with your fingers no longer work. It’s as if the app locks itself into Pencil-only mode, and the only fix is to force close and reopen it. This doesn’t happen when using the Pencil in menus — only when touching the 3D model. The Apple Pencil + finger combo is one of the iPad’s biggest advantages, and it’s frustrating to lose that functionality, especially in such a premium app. Please fix this — the app deserves better.

I wish I had purchased the cross-platform access package as opposed to the single device access package because I ended up paying for the single-use three separate times for three separate devices. The app runs great on my 2018 iPad Pro, my 2014 MacBook Pro and XS Max. It “runs” on my 2009 iMac but is pretty clunky and slow so I avoid using it there. That machine has 6 Gb of ram so I think it may just be the older processor. Anyways, this is an absolutely wonderful app with great functionality and design. I love how you can add/remove “layers” of the various body systems (e.g., integumentary, muscular, skeletal, respiratory/vascular, etc.) and also choose to have one item (e.g., a bone or a vessel) highlighted while fading or fully hiding the surrounding structures so that you can get a better view. There’s information about each structure and all the major landmarks are identified. There’s even the feature of pronunciation for a given structure!! Very cool imo. Very well thought out and implemented. My applause and appreciation to 3D 4 Medical!

I love this app. It has made the biggest difference in orienting myself to structures and structure relations in clinical anatomy. I especially love being able to build neurovasculature pathways. Also, the function that demonstrates muscle actions is great for PT students. My only issue is that every time I use it on my iPad, the app will freeze or crash and I have to reopen the app, enough times throughout the day that it becomes frustrating. Every time this happens, I have to restore my progress and often lose structures I have already added and thus need to re-add them. This app would be perfection if this didn’t happen!

I’ve been using this app since it was released following the announcement at an apple event and I have recommended it to a lot of my classmates and a few of my superiors. I can not state how useful it has been in understanding different parts of the body. I do however wish I could download content that I have purchased separately (video content). I always have to have WiFi to stream the content and if we are in the hospital for long hours with no access to the hospital WiFi for security reasons, I would like to access the content when I get a few hours to myself through the day.

I’ve used several anatomy software programs and apps over the past 7-10 years. This is by far the most useful for teaching musculoskeletal education for an inexpensive price. It goes way beyond musculoskeletal, so I get educated myself while I’m teaching too. Individual muscles completely with information about each makes education great. However, there’s one way where other apps have better usefulness is the language. I need Chinese often and there’s only one choice for that and it’s not this one.

Amazing app. However, text description size is so small, it hurts me eyes to read it. I wish I could change the size of the description. Otherwise fantastic app with amazing information and easy to navigate. Also in the description box, the names of parts should be clickable. So I can click it and see how the part connects to my current selected part. That would really help me to understand how the different parts connect. Also the rotate or view controls for me are so finicky…it moves when I don’t want it to.

This app is a great tool for artists since anatomy is one of the essential things we need to learn. Though I did see another review from a fellow artist that said you guys should consider making a plan for artists and I definitely agree. As stated in that other review, we know this is aimed at med students but a stripped down version of the app would be amazing for artists. We really only need the features for the skeletal, muscular, and integumentary systems for out work. As for things you could possibly add to the functions of the app itself; 1. Minor but would be very useful - Being able to highlight multi selected areas in different colors. It’ll help us see and differentiate muscles easier. 2. Major - being able to see muscles in twists such as lower arm when you are twisting your wrist Other than those, I think the app is perfect for what I need.

I love this app and am happy to have used it for quite a while. The video taking feature is incredible, the movement is sleek, and the resources are informative and insightful. I’m in love, but now I have a challenge for the development team. I’m hoping that the devs can create a function where you can increase the body fat percentage of the model. Some of us use this app for explaining movement and modalities of fitness, and being able to have a size-adjustable model is helpful. First app to make this happen gets all my cash! :)

I’ve been using and enjoying this app regularly for years. With the recent name change (purchased by another company perhaps?), my access was removed, and I was going to be forced to buy an annual membership to retain the access I already had. It is such a superior product I would have done so if need be, but a quick, pleasant interaction with Nicola and my access was restored. I would highly recommend these guys.

It’s by no means a necessity for medical school, but it’s very useful in terms of saving time. Often times skips having to search through a textbook (digital or not) for a chart or diagram in order to locate anatomy; in 15 seconds i can pull up the model, find the specific portion of the anatomy, see what i want to see, and boom, done. I thought I wouldn’t use it much past the A&P courses but I find myself referencing it for nearly every course. Yes, anatomy varies from person to person, but for learning purposes this app is 5/5.

I use this app for medical school and find it very helpful and detailed. I used to have issues with it restarting constantly but that has been fixed in a recent update. I highly recommend this app! Original review (no longer relevant): This app is very helpful for medical school! But every time I reopen the app just a few minutes after using it, it keeps restarting. Please fix RAM management so it stays in the system memory for longer! For reference I am on an iPad Pro 2018 on iPadOS 14.2.

I downloaded this app three day ago and tried 3 days for free. I took my ipad with me to the anatomy lecture to see if it can help. And It did help me a lot. We had a test at the end of the lecture and I wouldn’t solve it if I didn’t have this app. And that what made me think to subscribe to it, even though I hate subscription. But there were some mistakes in the nervous system. As we took in Anatomy lecture, A branch of ulnar nerve should pass through the pisohamate ligament, but in the app it was above it. Idk if this is a bug or intentional. Idk if there are other mistakes in nervous system or other systems because We are not that far into anatomy yet. I hope they revise the app to fix the bugs or mistakes found in it. The app doesn’t show the name of joints like elbow joint, carpometacarpal joint, shoulder joint,...et. I wish there was a layer for body joints. I know they are easy, but that would help beginner in anatomy like me. Thank you.

The app provides detailed models for most of the systems of the body, which is great for a med student or even a doctor. This is much better in comparison to having to have either it drawn on paper or needing to have physical models since it is both easy to take with you and is in 3D so you can see how it would really look. The only problems being that it costs quite a bit to gain access to all parts, and is quite the large app (1.3 gigabytes). Otherwise it’s pretty great all around and has been made by people who know what they are talking about.

The best 3D atlas. Beautifully designed, highly functional. Only quip is that after leaving the app to multitask with other apps (leaving 3D Anatomy up and running in the background), the 3D Anatomy app resets very quickly, causing you to lose your previous session. Most of the time reopening the app will cause a prompt to allow you to resume your previous session but this doesn’t always happen – making it annoying for you to rebuild your last session from scratch.

I am an Internal Medicine Doc and I have been using this app for years. I strongly recommend it for educating patients. With the new atlas feature, and the radiology interface that is integrated into it, make it a must have for learning, reviewing and educating others. I have tried them ALL, and this is the best by far. I wish it did not cost so much for students, but they are obviously reinvesting profits because it just keeps getting better.

I used this app for a few years and can confidently say that it’s a great app for learning human anatomy. Yes, sometimes there were issues, but a simple rebooting fixed it. Whenever I had to continue support, I received prompt response. The only reason I cancelled my subscription was the $99 price (one time, not annual), which is not expensive but out of my budget at this time. I will be back soon. Thank you for the great work

I think it’s an awesome tool. The app however keeps crashing on me, I have no idea why. I also wish that once in isolation mode you could have the option to add more systems to the isolated structure. The tags also have a few glitches but overall this app has great potential. Update: the app support contacted me and were able to fix the issue with the app crashing. I haven’t had any problems the app since. Highly recommend the app

This app was very helpful for my anatomy class. I found 2 errors however 1. The oculomotor nerve courses between the Posterior Cerebral Artery and the Superior Cerebellar artery. The app shows it above the PCA. This is clinically significant because an aneurysm of either artery can cause CN III compression and its associated symptoms 2. The vertebral veins usually pass through the C7 transverse foramen. The app shows it entering at C6 with the vertebral artery. In most specimens it passes through C7

Words can’t express how grateful I am to the exquisitely detailed drawings, and tool, that allow cutaways, zoom, and the full 360 degree rotation of views. Terrific for the newcomer to anatomy, and unrivaled for the experienced health care provider, student, teachers, physical therapists, chiropractors, and the list goes on. I teach childbirth and sex education from the cells outward..system by system.. You have made my job infinitely easier, and I no longer have to rely on my own funky diagrams, slide shows cobbled together, and my haphazard whiteboard drawings. Bravo!!! This is outstanding! Only caveat..... default state to male setting is lame, and 19th century. One should be able to choose at the start of current use, which gender one wants. That is a minor fix, and I am sure it will come soon.

I have to say that I love this app. I have the full version on my iPhone and on my Windows PC. The models are functional and I refer to them often. My only issue is that a one-time purchase of the license is no longer available, as I don’t really need the quizzes etc. that come with the subscriptions. If they could return to the previous model with the subscriptions as well as the one-time offer I wouldn’t be able to recommend the app enough!

Also it needs more detailed features of other organs like: middle ear and tympanic membrane also for nose concha and meatus also for tongue, mouth, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, voice box these things really really needs detailed models in addition maybe a tool to cut the whole body at once without cutting one part at a time. Overall the app is so great and i am going to subscribe again every year till i finish medical school cause it helped me a lot, thank you😊

Hello, I’m currently an echocardiography and vascular ultrasound student, and I was wondering if you could consider adding ultrasound imaging to the app. This is one of the only apps I’ve found that is detailed and presents concepts accurately, which has been incredibly helpful for my studies. Including an ultrasound modality, similar to the radiology features you already offer, would make it even more valuable for those of us in the ultrasound field. Thank you!

A few technical details that I think could be improved: 1) You need trackpad support. It’s been out for over a year now and you have compatibility for trackpads/mice with your other devices. 2) Object selection (when you tap on something) could pop open its window faster. Essential Anatomy was quick as a whistle, this app’s windows lag to load which can be annoying when you’re in a crunch.

I have a new 13” iPad Pro (M6) running iOS 26.2.1. I downloaded the app and tried to sign in. The app opened a small window to elsevier.com. However the window is completely blank and I cannot sign in. I downloaded the app to my husband’s older iPad Pro also running iOS 26.2.1 and there I was able to sign in. Can you please fix this bug? Thx. P.S. I love this app.

This app is amazing the UI is beautiful and simplistic while having a thought out design this is not only the best anatomy app I’ve seen but the best app in general. All the praise for keeping it free.

I kinda do not like it cuz of free trial but it’s pretty good and cool

A little slow to load the different layers at times. But this must be due to how detailed all the structures are.

This is such a wonderful app for learning anatomy. The amount of detail is so impressive- I truly don't know if I would even pass anatomy without it. However, it has been really annoying me recently because after five minutes of usage the app freezes and I have to reload it. I hope this can be fixed soon!

This is the best app ever it has everything I want everything looks real and detailed best app on App Store

How does a company have such a good product AND such good customer service? I’ve been using this for about 5 years and it might be the best app I’ve bought.

Had to redownload before it worked but now it runs smoothly. Impressive features. Understandibly expensive. Would love a one time purchase option.

The best.

I buy this app 3 years ago, cause I’m a teacher, so I can record some video. Now they just told me that they remove this option on my app !!! I pay for something I now they decide what I suppose to have or not !!! Which company will do that ??

Very handy at anatomy class and good for studying

This is an amazing app. I recently had an issue where my purchased content disappeared. The app developer responded to my request for assistance very promptly and resolved my issue.

I love all the contents and how there are actual lectures (divided in detail as well!) which are really helpful for an undergrad student like me. But the only thing is that it gets quite annoying when it refreshes the entire program (and goes back to main screen) every time i open another app - regardless of how long I use (i mean, if I used the other app for an hour or more, I can understand that - but this happens even when I use the other app for only like 2 minutes) the other app. This didn’t happen when I first downloaded it which is about 3 or so weeks ago, so if this could get fixed somehow, this app would be flawless. Thank you!

I got the individual plan and it’s so wonderful, it helps me study so easily! It’s like dissecting a person!! I want to suggest one change: it would be nice to be able to display multiple gross anatomical regions at once. Other then that, it’s a wonderful app

This app is great! It’s been really helpful for me as someone with very little background knowledge in anatomy. I have one suggestion! I think the dorsal and palmar surfaces of the hamate bone in the hand might be incorrect. Would probably good to fix it. Thanks

There is so much content available! Models are of high quality and information provided is correct. I think this app was well worth the investment - it helped me to supplement material I learned in anatomy lectures with amazing visualizations. I originally purchased this app as an add on to Essential Anatomy 5 - I wanted to be able to see extra features, including: parts, surfaces and landmarks of bones and motion of muscles. (If simply seeing the muscles on a skeleton and reading ORIANS is all that you need, EA5 is probably going to be sufficient). Support from 3D4Medical is quick and helpful. I had similar issues to other uses and was unable to access premium features after an app update, but customer service rep Sharon provided clear instructions on how to restore these features. At times the app can be a bit laggy, and it takes up a fair amount of space. But I am able to run it on my old iPad Air (2013).

Works well on my iPad Air 2. High graphical quality, helpful animations. Full license does not allow viewing of cross-sections, only subscription licenses do. High price, you may want to consider Human Anatomy Atlas.

Great custom service, the feedback is really responsive.

I got this app many years ago and had a fully functional app to see all available components. Following a recent update to 3D Medical 2019, the app would not function properly with the layering no longer working. Contacted technical support and they were very helpful and knowledgeable. My app is now working as it should. THANK YOU!!

This is absolutely incredible, end of story. Buy the full version, you will not regret it.

On a body system level it’s pretty good. But when it comes to organ, tissue, or cellular levels it is nonexistent. I understand that it may be difficult to create an app that goes further in depth, but it would be nice to go a little deeper. For example: the eye. It would be nice to be able to cut the layers of the eye and explore that intricate body part (blood vessels, sclera, choroid, retina, optic disc, fovea centralis, etc.). Instead you are just left with the eye and nothing else to do with it. My point is that it is sufficient for gross A&P but not the fine A&P. At this point it is at best an adjunct for only certain lessons in a textbook. Update: They are starting to add in more detail to certain tissues and structures such as muscle tissue and vascular structures. Locating that information in the app could be made clearer. I am increasing my ratings to reflect the improvements.

Thanks for these great apps!

I have since found out the developer is honest and stands by their product. I did end up buying the full package and I am pleased it comes with everything promised and more. With that being said I have changed my review. This skeleton, muscles and various systems are hi quality models and the ability to dive into the human body is amazing. I have an older iPad the first version with Retina display and they take advantage of the extra pixels. I got this to learn the body and inner systems for class I have to take. For me, well worth the money and I can study on the train to work.

Of course this app is expensive, especially when you have to purchase it individually for every platform, but the quality of the content is outstanding. The esthetics are by far the best for any 3D anatomy app out there. What’s more, the content is getting increasingly accurate, with a meticulous attention to detail. Good job!

Undoubtedly the best looking graphically, as well as feature rich, but slow to complete the full package, by way of male and, wait,,,,,hang on a moment ,,,,,,,,female anatomy. Baffling really.

As the title says, this app is great as far as it’s content goes. It’s incredible if you’re taking an A&P course. However, there are some huge issues that seem to be because it isn’t optimized for os26. For example, the home and back buttons are stuck behind the new floating “x,-,expand” buttons that they introduced with os26. This makes navigating the app in anything other than full screen annoying at best and occasionally downright impossible. I often will just close the app because it’s faster than the alternatives. Second, resizing the app in the new os26 ecosystem simply doesn’t work very well. It refuses to size itself in many ways and often the app will get itself stuck in a layout that no longer fills in the app screen. Frankly, a full rethink of the layout in this new os26 world may be in order, especially considering the yearly price of this app. This thing should be a seamless experience, but it is far from it as of January 2026. The thing is, the app worked much better before I was on os26, which is why I believe it is just a massive optimization issue. There’s also occasional crashes but it’s far from the biggest issue considering how finicky it has become to use the app post os26. I hope this is seen as constructive criticism because the content of this app is truly phenomenal, but the experience of using it has left me frustrated.

Downloaded this app during the first week of PT school and was amazed by its content. However, when I first purchased full access I paid $35, and now a year later it has gone up to $75. I am not sure if I got some kind of special price for at the time but the price is egregious either way. Overhead is minimal for an app like this to run and to justify the price based on expert videos posted is still ridiculous. The experts deserve to get paid fairly, but still charging a recurring fee of a minimal $75 is wild to me. Isn’t this app made for students struggling with high cost of education already? If this is instead made for professionals who already have the means to pay such a high price, then cut out the experts videos and education since board certified professionals no longer need it. To anyone else reading this, there are absolutely other apps out there that still do what this one does. Please don’t feel forced into a subscription for this one thinking this is the pinnacle that nothing else can match. You do not need this and if you are willing to pay this much money for an app like this, I guarantee you are driven enough to find help from somewhere else that has more integrity.

REVISED REVIEW: I am a health care professional. This used to be a good app but certain videos don’t run, and the anatomy models have taken a turn for the worse. They have no phone support unlike Visible Body, their competitor who does. When they did have phone support they didn’t return my phone calls. They keep wanting to make changes to the app to make it better but what is happening is that it crashes more and is less responsive. They don’t seem to know how to leave well enough alone. And the final straw is that they are now a part of a big conglomerate called Elsevier, a loser company that I remember from nursing school. UPDATE and/or addition to previous comment. Just got the 2023 version and they butchered it. Videos/Courses don’t work (play) so save your money till they get it right. Every time they do an update things go south. Very frustrating!!j UPDATE: Well I did call customer no-service and also sent emails about certain course videos that continue not to work. Check my emails and see that there has been NO RESPONSE. You don’t care one bit about your paying customers and you know it. You just don’t like bad reviews so you’re kinda forced to answer.

I bought this as a one time purchase of about $80 a few years ago, knowing that you needed a subscription to get access to cross sectional anatomy. I was satisfied with system based anatomy layers for my professional purposes. One day, I opened it up, and it had reverted to the unpaid version. There was no option to restore my purchase. I contacted customer service, and they informed me that they converted to a subscription based service only, and rescinded all access to the app for me and others like me unless we wanted to buy a subscription. No warning. No apology. No offer to apply my prior purchase towards a subscription. They just took my money and told me to deal with it. It was a nice app, but if they are this cavalier with their customer’s purchases (which are substantial by App Store standards), I can’t bring myself to trust them with any more money. Think hard before you fork it over. If you buy a paper anatomy textbook, you’ll own it forever. If you buy from these clowns, they will obliterate your purchase on a whim under the auspices of “updating content.” So ridiculous.

If you’re an artist looking for a 3D anatomy reference to draw from and learn the skeletal / muscular structures you’ll be disappointed to find that in order to simply add the ability to see the muscular system, you’ll have to add all of the app functionality at $99 / year. It’s unfortunate as this app is one of the best on the App Store and would be an amazing resource, but is highly over priced for this use case as 75% of the functionality is unnecessary. 3D4Medical, you could pull in an entire market segment of artists looking to use this app as an anatomy reference tool by simply adding the ability to purchase only the additional muscular system layers. I’d happily pay $20 one time to add this layer, but have zero interest in paying $99 annually when I could stock my bookshelf with all of the best artist’s anatomy books for the same price without having to pay again next year to access their content. I get that you’re a software company and you need a subscription model like every other software company, and maybe you’re covering all of your bases by targeting the cash flush medical industry, but maybe, for those of us that are trying to bring some beauty and perspective to the world, you could throw us a bone and add an artist tier, or just allow the ability to purchase the muscle system a la carte for a one time fee. I would then be able to actually use this app and I’m sure would give it a higher rating. Update: I just purchased and installed their Muscle System Pro III app which is a good resource for learning the muscle structures and how they connect to the skeletal, however it’s an older app and the functionality feels antiquated / cumbersome, especially in comparison to this one. I still feel it would make more sense to enable the user to pick their functionality (in a new version of the app) based on their need and pay accordingly.

I really like the idea of this app, where you can look at different structures and pay close attention to nearly every little thing in the body. However I really hate that every app you turn to instead of giving you the option to flat out buy the content, requires you to pay a subscription. I would much rather pay $100 or $200 for an app such as this one as opposed to slyly paying the company $35 for one year, $75 the next, and so on. It feels tacky, and most of all, it will end up costing the user much more than if they had simply bought the license offered previously. My guess is that the thinly veiled disguise of “versatility” given by the developers is no more than an excuse to grab as much cash from the pockets of desperate college students. I will search for different applications that give you the option to purchase their product, as opposed to merely renting it. It’s a shame, I really did love this app...

I loved this app, but as I took a break from my iPad for a while and returned to the app, I could no longer have access to the full version! I could have sworn I bought it, and I know for a fact I used it on this device, as I showed my friends because I absolutely adored this app. Perhaps I instead downloaded a trial? But everything I had is now gone. Edit: I updated the app and found all of my stuff has returned. Thank god <3 I love this app. They added a female pelvis, but I truly hope that a female model will come soon. The male body should not be the default. On a side note, my device keeps insisting I restore my purchase, it does it successfully, then I have access, but it goes out and then I have to restore again. At the moment, it keeps saying it restored but hasn't given my models and app back. I currently cannot use the app because of this. Every part of the female pelvis refers back to what that is to the male anatomy, but the male anatomy does not do the same. The male body is displayed as the default, and the rest of the female anatomy is not even available outside of the pelvis. This is lacking and incompetent for an app on human anatomy. And during the search, male-specific parts do not have a male symbol, but female parts do. Please fix the glitch, add a female model, rephrase sections to be more professional and competent, and organize the sex-specific organs so that I might actually be able to learn properly from this app.

I put the following review up weeks ago. I’ve changed my review from 4 stars to 2 since the company is clearly too busy to address paying customers concerns related to functionality. “Regarding functionality, there is nothing else on the market which is comparable. You’ve made a truly great program. The only downside is that we are on what...iOS 12 now, the iPad’s split screen functionality has been around since iOS 11. Having to move back and forth between screens is cumbersome, especially when you have to wait for the app to reset and reboot after being off of it for some time. I want to be able to view origin, insertion, action, and innervation pdf tables in parallel with the app. Then look up what I need to using the app (all on one screen). Now to save time, I find myself using two devices at once since the app isn’t coded for a split screen. I find myself using the program less out of sheer frustration.”

As a PT student, having a visual 3D model with the ability to save screens for easy recall to what I’m studying is great. However, I feel like the quiz feature could be revamped in a way that allows for more customization. Like, interacting with the model for identification and then needing to give OIAs customized for whatever text you’re using. Then come the bugs. When the app is windowed, it’s just as bad as the PC version. It can’t simply just be resized without throwing a massive fit about it and will crop toolbars off the page. It also freezes as soon as I use my apple pencil, which defeats the purpose of using it in the first place, which is to not have to zoom in every single time I want to click on a structure. And then sometimes it just straight up freezes for no reason. I don’t understand how these bugs haven’t been fixed yet.

First of all I think its a complete lack of care/respect that the app switched to be a subscription based app that costs 50 dollars a year…There are much better and cheaper anatomy apps out there. My problem however is that after my subscription automatically renewed (something i wanted to avoid but didn’t) the app has worked much worse recently. It is slow, i’m constantly logged out, and the latest issue is that it wont let me log back in… I have deleted and redownloaded the app, clicked on “i have a profile” and when i get to the part where they supposedly send me a confirmation email, the email never comes and thus I cant even login to use the 50 dollars i spent on this app. I have checked my trash and spam. no email to be found.

This app was great, I repeat was. It functioned very well when I first got it. Fast forward two weeks and I realize I really enjoy this app, so I decided to buy the anatomy one pack for 10 dollars and the ultrasound pack for another 7 dollars. Soon there after the app kept foreclosing every time I would watch the videos! I can't watch anything, sadly it seems I wasted 17 dollars on an app that doesn't even function properly. I love anatomy and if this app did work properly i would give it 5 stars and most likely sign up for the membership, but like I said the app doesn't work and it's a real shame because the makers did a great job with all the details but it's pointless if the app always forecloses. If this can be fixed I will defiantly will change the review and rating but until then the app is basically useless:/

This used to be a one time purchase, but now it’s an annual subscription. $100 a year? It is not worth $100 a year! Your responds shows you only want a recurring paycheck from me without much new in return. Thankfully, there are other anatomy apps that are just as good, if not better and I only pay once and get updates for life. This business model you have adopted will end up biting you in the end. Many other companies have done this, and it was disastrous, both for the company and for the poor souls that fell into the subscription trap. So I paid my $100 to another developer and got the same functionality I would have paid you $100 for ... one time. Thankfully I was able to find another app to fill my needs for an Anatomy app. I guess you didn’t need the money.

Oh look, 1 year later, and despite MONTHLY promises that a full female model will be available (Nov 2021, you say? So… where is it?), Nothing. And not even a passing mention of the possibility or plan of a homunculus that more closely represents the global human norm. Elsevier purports to be one of the best providers of scientifically accurate and cutting edge educational materials, and yet they perpetuate this outrageously outdated and harmful perception that white maleness is the standard and most important model of humanity. Our students and our patients deserve better. Previous review, still depressingly relevant: This app has many lovely and useful functions, as noted elsewhere. I rate it 1 star because it persists, years after initial development and in this day and age, in presenting the human norm as a white, blue-eyed male. This is not simply socially problematic. The research literature is extremely clear about the many and varied negative impacts of treating every human as European Male. Three years ago I contacted customer support to find out if and when there would be a female homunculus. The response? Working on it, but it’s just so complicated, and we want to get it just right. The ultimate result? A pelvis (and now a thorax, presumably because boobs), displayed out of context with the rest of the anatomy. Just a floating pelvis. Because that remains all women are to the medical field? Reproductive organs? Come on. And way back in the late 90s or early aughts, thoughtful folks were already creating artistic “averages” of human features. Guess what they looked like? Spoiler alert, they were not pale and blue-eyed. This app is presented as a cutting edge teaching tool for professionals and students, as well as a tool for teaching our patients. But it continues to cling to and teach outmoded and deeply flawed assumptions about the “human norm”. I will not pay for any subscriptions through this app, will not be using it in teaching my students, and will not recommend it to my peers. I strongly suggest that folks look elsewhere for a digital anatomy reference that doesn’t perpetuate harm.

I’m very good of continents and other stuff, but I don’t really know about human body has one organs and two complicated when I used to have it. I only remember how complicated it was and I think it used to be stuck when I was playing it. I wish it was better, but I think there was only the issue with my old iPad. We only have the iPad 10th generation well writing this review I’ll re-download and hope it works, but I think I’m not gonna re-download it because I’m afraid he’s going to do the same thing again but thanks for the graphics and the cool 3-D motion in how smooth it is!

Just had a nice view going with cranial nerve 9 only for it to only be erased because I apparently chose to look at tongue model rather than add tongue feature. UI leaves much to be desired… added too many features before it was as intuitive as other apps… Needs a quick dissection feature to remove parts quick. Too many popups and different menus/model types… could be 5 star very easily if the interface was more simple and intuitive as a default and progress was saved when app was not used for extended periods.

Taking notes on the screen with the pen feature is horrible. The majority of your marks don't show up and it lacks any semblance of fluidity. There is A LOT of delay if your writing shows up at all!!! It would benefit having an eraser tool as well with the pen feature by using a simple tap of the apple pencil to toggle between pen and eraser. Also, a white pen option would be of great benefit since the background is black.. A highlighter tool would be very beneficial - especially for highlighting things in the information boxes. Despite this flaw, the graphics and details are top-knotch.

I have used Complete Anatomy for several years and it has been my favorite app for referencing anatomy in school and in the clinic! I recently started my first year as a DPT student and was looking forward to using this app on an iPad Pro I had purchased for school, but I no longer have access to the content I paid for several years ago. I am prompted to enroll in the company's subscription model. Since I paid for an individual license years ago (a fairly large sum), I expected to be able to continue using this application. Please help me with this issue, I have loved this app but I cannot justify enrolling in a subscription model when I have already purchased the app!

This app is extremely faulty and rarely actually works the way it was intended. If you click on a model to move it or try to move some text, the entire model disappears and forces you to close the app to try again. I would rather fail my medical school classes than be constantly burdened by the terrible programming and subpar customer service. Update, I have been emailing customer service and there has been absolutely nothing done to fix these issues and many more of my classmates have begun experiencing them as well. It is incredibly unprofessional and it’s clear the company does not have a dedicated IT department to fix bugs.

Old version of IOS(v.10) on older IPad(ipad air 2). It's the complete anatomy 2019 version. I havern't used it for a long time. Now that I try to use it, I have a problem. It's a functional restriction. Before that, all the functions were available. So I checked and found out that I weren't logged in. Every time I try to log in, Alert message "Oops! We can't find what you are looking for. Check your internet connection and try again.. " But the wi-fi connection is good. So the internet works fine. Currently, I can't log in and I cannot be used properly due to functional limitations. And I cannot used purchased lecture. What should I do ?

Personally I understand that money needs to be made somewhere in order for this app to even be here• however, I think it is unfair and completely disturbing that in order for an uneducated person to become educated that they need to pay for it. Especially if they cannot afford it. Setting people up from the very beginning. Born to work and die. Only the rich can live a full and extravagant life. If you’re not rich, you’re in survival mode doing anything possible to stay afloat. Very sad because I was very excited to get this app so I could teach myself something I was never taught in school. disappointed:(

You made me sign up for a full ahh account promising a 7 day free trial and after I went through the hassle of creating an account it has the audacity to say it’s only 3 days? That’s some bullshiii false advertising

Purchased this app back in 2017, however I can no longer view the same things. Now I need a subscription to view the same things that I purchased and could view before.

His app boasts a free 3 day trial for all the different anatomical layers however you can never get past the verify email tool. Please reconsider this process as it is very misleading. Deleted the app and paid for another developers tool.

App works great on my computer but not on the ipad. please fix!

I’m an Osteopathic student a few years into my studies - I just got an iPad Pro 13” (M5, 1TB, 16GB Unified Memory) mainly for Notes and Complete Anatomy (which I was very excited about). However, after downloading the app onto my iPad and previously using C.A. On my MacBook Air, here’s some things you should know IF you’re considering the transition like I was: If you want to use C.A. On the iPad, you CANNOT use a keyboard trackpad (e.g., ESR, Logitech, Magic Keyboard) to zoom in and out of the C.A. Model like you would on a regular trackpad for MacBook air’s/pros (Previous Mac users know this is bringing your index and middle finger together, and swiping up or down on the trackpad to zoom in and out, OR alternatively, pinching or expanding the fingers together). You can ONLY use your fingers to zoom in and out on the actual iPad screen (not trackpad) when using C.A, however you will be able to rotate the model 360 degrees in C.A. With the TRACKPAD AND your FINGERS on the screen (imo, you should be able to have the option to do both). Secondly, you CANNOT use the trackpad to click on the “Active Features” (e.g., Tabs, Tools, Save Screen, Settings, etc.). Utilizing the trackpad and clicking will NOT work. I’ve taken videos and will be sending them to their tech support. Again, you can ONLY select these “Active Features” if you’re using your fingers on the actual iPad screen (again, imo, it’s great to have the ability to use your fingers to select and scroll and zoom on things, but you should be able to do both if you want to revert to using a trackpad). Thirdly, C.A.’s “Close (Red “x”), Minimize (Yellow “-“), and “Expand full screen” (Green) in the tab bar is located right in the TOP LEFT corner where C.A.’s “Tab”, “Home” and “Undo/Redo” Buttons are. So trying to select these aren’t impossible, but difficult, and frustrating as you can mistakenly or accidentally select green, yellow, or red buttons (closing, minimizing or expanding the app) when your intention was to really open up another C.A. Tab, or select Home, or hit the Undo button on C.A…. To me, it’s been a complete turn off from switching my C.A. Use from MacBook to IPad, and it pains me to say it, but I’ll be returning the iPad and going back to my C.A. Use on the MacBook.

This app used to work very well with great image quality and interface however with recent updates it has started lagging it’s absolutely unuseable on iPad

Context: I’ve used this application prior to it’s acquisition by Elsevier. I should have purchased the atlas model when the opportunity wa present prior to the acquisition. It is what it is Problem : Signifiant lag and performance issues that require loading of the assets to animate motions. A source of internet appear to be required in order to simply have the application animate movements and motions of the muscles and joints. Overall, this application is a far cry from what it once was. Solution: Especially on the iPad Pro or any iPad with a sufficiently powered processor, the assets should be downloaded onto the iPad for seamless use of the application without delays or hiccups . Overall, very disappointing . Furthermore, the application FAILS to demonstrate all of the movements capable by particular muscles. For the amount of money Elsevier demands from this yearly license, the least they can do is provide accurate movements for their models. It was the gold standard in the past. Hopefully a competitor shows up, does it well and offers superior performance to this overpriced pos. It’s also filled with bloatware "courses" on anatomy. This is rich when they don’t list all known muscle movements

Can't progress passed the title screen. It crashed right after upgrading iOS version

Very disappointed. right when I need it most, it bails out on me and stops loading lectures. Fix problem asap.

I think we should be able to at least open the mannequin mouth. There are a ton of important structures there that we can only see on a opened mouth. For Denstists would be awesome.

Several years ago I paid in full for this app. At the time, it was costly for me but I purchased it anyway because I needed to reference the muscular layers. I was recovering from a back injury and felt that an anatomy app would help with my recovery. Recently, the app developers decided to change the structure of the app and make it a yearly subscription locking me out of what was something I had previously paid for. I feel robbed. Very dishonourable behaviour.

English no longer available after the latest upgrade! No menu available to change language.

I’ve seen this being requested for a few years but still no portrait mode?

How can I delete all of my information from the app after trial? And does it automatically take money from account after trial?

Was looking forward to using this app, the free version is nice, but wanted the full package but when trying to log in I kept getting a bad gateway error, very upsetting. I’ve tried everything from deleting the app to restoring my iPad. Help

I can not access any material on the app it keep on popping up that something is wrong and i need to relaunch the app

Where is the female model???

I paid for the app in full in 2017. After an app update it now doesn’t recognize me and wants me to log in for a 3 day trial! Is this a money grab.

I’ve used this app for months as it really helps for school, not perfect, but great for visualizing how everything fits together. I went to use it after the update and cannot access any of the content I paid for, as they now try and make you pay for the year. Used to be a great app... now just a money grab... sorry guys not acceptable

Laggy after the most recent update.

This is the best anatomy app out there so far - great graphics, tons of detailed info and great tools to work with within the app. I have all versions of this app to run on my Mac, iPhone and iPad since I don’t usually have all my devices at the same time in one location, I find it convenient to have the app on different devices even though I had to pay for each version, but it’s worth it due to the high caliber of the app (well, except the iPad version). Once you’re registered, you can synchronize the app across the different platforms which is another feature I like. The reason why I’m giving this app a “3stars” (for now) is because of the iPad version. I purchased the iPad version after I’ve had the Mac version for a few years, so I was looking forward to the iPad version because I thought that it’d be more convenient to use due to iPad’s ability to rotate. Unfortunately, this app iPad’s version is unable to do what should come naturally with iPad apps - the ability to rotate!! It’s just so awkward and very frustrating not to be able to rotate the model vertically, especially since the model is best observed/studied when displayed vertically, and as a result, I haven’t used the iPad version as much as I’d like to. I’ve been told by the customer service rep that the developers are working to fix this. I’d advise people to wait till they figure out how to fix the rotation problem before purchasing the iPad version. Stick with the iPhone version for now since there seems to be no problem with rotation on that platform. The best feature that I love with the newest upgrade is the AR feature. It’s really fun to use and I prefer to use it on the iPhone because of its ability to rotate. I can’t wait to use it on the iPad once the problem is fixed, hopefully soon, then it’ll deserve the “all stars” rating😉

Hello, This is my second time writing a review about this app and its inability to run the purchased content without crashing. I have had this app for months and chose it because of the lecture add-ons and other features and has not delivered on its promises. The app has some bright spots, but this has become beyond frustration and has me ready for a reimbursement for all that I purchased associated with this app. Unsatisfied to say the least.

I love it, being able to see the action of the muscle and isolate one structure from others etc, but when I load all the systems it crashes so that’s a downfall, especially when you want to try and do a virtual dissection.

Honestly, I regret paying $35 for this app since day one. It’s never worked properly and lags wayyy too much. Now, with the female pelvis update, I can’t use the app at all. It loads to an empty skeleton and that’s it. No settings around, no option to touch anything. I paid $35 for a photo of a skeleton. I’m sure the information it should would’ve been very informative. Had it been a working app.

While the words for the origins and insertions may be mostly correct, the actual image on the model doesn’t always represent what it says. For example, vastus medialis originates on the medial lip of the linea aspera (which the app says) but shows it no where near the linea aspera, rather on the anteromedial surface of the femur. I’m also having a problem where I’ve been trying to use the O/I view for the skeleton and after I click on three different locations the app freezes and shuts down on me. I haven’t really run into any other complaints so far. However, a radiology view would be interesting and cool.
