Never had a problem with it . It will be fantastic to have the male and female planes of the head as well. As a digital artist I highly recommend it. **Developer response:** Thank you for the nice feedback and the suggestion! Support Team ### 3/5 — have to log in to apple id every open *2026-07-28* so they switched to a subscription model but still honor my previously purchased perpetual license. However, every time I open the app they say “7 day free trial subscribe” or whatever and I have to exit out of that, click “restore purchase” and type in my apple id password every time I want to use it. EVERY OPEN. This is irritating. **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for the nice suggestion! Kind regards, Support Team ### 2/5 — パスワード *2026-07-26* 購入済みで以前は快適に使えていたのですが、アプリを開く度にパスワードを入れなくてはならず、非常に使い勝手が悪くなりました。 **Developer response:** We value your input and appreciate your feedback.

It’s simple but has enough information for my purposes. However. Recently my access to the app has been limited and it has asked me to purchase a subscription even though I had purchased a perpetual license. I guess they are no longer honoring it? Their website still says "perpetual license, no subscription" so I don’t understand why I lost access, nor why I’m suddenly being asked to pay a subscription fee to access what I already paid for. **Developer response:** It’s unfortunate that we didn’t meet your expectations, and we sincerely apologize.

After updating the app, I lost access to the features I had already paid for and am now required to subscribe weekly. Please restore the permanent license I originally purchased.

I can’t access most of the 3D models anymore because the app is insisting I pay a subscription now. As if I didn’t just get robbed, do they really think an artist can afford to scrape out $5 a WEEK? I really liked this app, but it is not worth that price at all, even for those who have the extra income. I am beyond disappointed. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your experience.

Feel free to contact us at help.anatomy3datlas@gmail.com. ### 1/5 — Warning: prior FULL VERSION purchase no longer restores access after subscription update *2026-08-04* I purchased the FULL VERSION in-app purchase for this app on Nov. 6, 2023, for $19.99 plus tax. My purchase records show a one-time FULL VERSION purchase rather than a recurring subscription. Until the recent update, my purchase gave me access to major app functionality, including the full male/female body models and anatomy sections such as head, trunk, and lower limb. After the update, some content I previously had access to is now locked behind a subscription screen showing $6.99/week or $69.99/year. I have retained screenshots and purchase records documenting the purchase, the content that is currently locked, and the current subscription screen. Apple App Review Guideline 3.1.2(a) says: “If you are changing your existing app to a subscription-based business model, you should not take away the primary functionality existing users have already paid for.” Recent reviews on this app and another Catfish anatomy app describe circumstances similar to my experience, including users saying they previously paid for access or premium features and later encountered subscription prompts or loss of access. I have not independently verified those users’ purchases or circumstances. If you are affected, consider documenting your own purchase history, previously accessible content, and current subscription screen, and contacting the developer and Apple Support. **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback and the time you took to share it. Should you need any assistance, don't hesitate to contact us at help.anatomy3datlas@gmail.com. ### 1/5 — Now it’s Subscription *2026-08-04* Loved using this app for years, entered it today to recommend it to friends and discovered that to see muscles you must now pay a weekly or yearly subscription. If you need it for bones, those are still free, but otherwise I can no longer recommend it **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback. If you have any questions or need additional support, don’t hesitate to contact us at help.anatomy3datlas@gmail.com. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-02* I bought the full version of the app. Now they changed it to a subscription service and want to charge me again. What a scam, I want my money back! **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! If you ever need further support or have any questions, please reach out to us at help.anatomy3datlas@gmail.com. ### 1/5 — I am not paying twice for this app. *2026-07-31* I paid for this app already years ago, and now you’ve just changed it to a subscription model. If you want to charge new customers this way that’s your decision, but those of us who purchased this outright years ago should have been grandfathered into the previous offer. I will not be paying more for something I already paid for no matter how good the app is. If you the developer want to act in such a deceitful manner don’t expect support from those of us who you have betrayed. I’ve given this app a glowing review in the past but I retract everything I said about it because of your behaviour. What a shame. **Developer response:** Your input is valuable to us! If you need any assistance or have questions, please reach out at help.anatomy3datlas@gmail.com. ### 1/5 — Stolen purchase *2026-07-30* I bought this app years ago and now I am locked out because they started a subscription model. This is theft. If you want to start a subscription you can’t retroactively apply it to people who bought it under the pretense of a onetime purchase. I will no longer recommend this to my students. **Developer response:** We're truly sorry that things didn’t go as you had hoped. Your feedback is extremely important to us, and we’re here to help. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us at help.anatomy3datlas@gmail.com if you need support. ### 1/5 — Мразотство *2026-07-29* Покупал полную версию год назад ,и с какого-то члена программа стала платной ,всего плохого разработчикам **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! We’re always here to help if you need further assistance. Feel free to contact us at help.anatomy3datlas@gmail.com. ### 1/5 — Give me back my perpetual license! *2026-07-22* I have purchased the perpetual license and been using it for several years before it recently suddenly started asking me for a subscription to access the full version. I have paid in full price, please restore my access to the full version. **Developer response:** Your input is valuable to us!

Any form can be almost instantly accessed, isolated and clearly defined. Anatomical clarification at your finger tips. A bit concerned however that the app suddenly failed to recognize my lifetime member subscription. ### 5/5 — 예전에 구매 했는데 *2026-07-14* 결제 또 해야되?? 머야 이거 ### 5/5 — Excellent reference for artists *2026-07-01* Excellent reference for artists ### 5/5 — Must have for artist *2026-05-08* Easily the best app for artist. The app is very informative and easy to use. The ability to view and isolate different layers of muscle and have insertion and origin information is fantastic. Highly recommend just wish they would add some animal models. **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind feedback. Support Team ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-11-17* Love it! Very useful app for checking anatomy very quick and has beautiful look :) I would to have more control on navigating the camera also. In any case the app is very good and great to have for character artists! I have a question - can I freely use it to show anatomy examples during live-streams and in post with screenshots of it? Same question for another app anatomy 3d atlas :) **Developer response:** HI! About your requests, please note that the Apps are for personal use only.

Чтоб было понятно где формируется жир. **Developer response:** Suggestion well noted, thank you. Support Team ### 5/5 — Precisa arrumar *2023-12-08* Vou colocar aqui porque não achei uma forma de falar com o desenvolvedor. A nona vértebra torácica não possui hemi-faceta inferior. Precisa ajustar isso. **Developer response:** Please contact us at: support.a3a@anatomy3datlas.com and we will be able to verify the mistake. Support Team ### 5/5 — Потрясающее приложение! *2023-11-04* Приложение очень удобное и заменяет мне таскание с собой томика Бамеса! Единственное, чего не хватает, это возможности изменения освещения 🙃 **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! Note that you are able to change lighting: once you open a scene, tap on Setting and then you can change the background color and the light as well.
