O app é bom, mas está bugado nas últimas semanas. Eu paguei por um ano e agora que está chegando ao fim (ainda tenho 1 mês) fica dizendo que eu não tenho acesso, um custa para conseguir acessar as partes pagas, toda hora desloga o meu acesso ### 2/5 — Crashes *2026-07-14, version 12.3.1* It was wonderful until the last few months where it continuously crashes. I emailed twice to attempt to get this sorted but nobody replied. ### 3/5 — It was a great app, got nerfed by bad updates *2026-07-03, version 12.3* There used to be so many options, really great rotation(now we can’t even flip the body to view it in a different angle), Apple Pencil control, multiple tabs could be opened for different parts, the text was more appropriately sized, etc. Old version was better overall. And quality of life updates can be made…such as being able to highlight different parts after exploding, changing opacity of transparent parts, two finger and one finger control upgrades, please bring back different tabs so we can open multiple systems in our own way, and allow Apple Pencil support for precise control over tapping thin parts instead of needing to zoom further. ### 2/5 — Probleme *2026-06-20, version 12.2* Tolle Darstellungen, aber die App stürzt andauernd ab. Ich kann mir nichtmal die Strukturen mehr als 10 Sekunden anschauen, wenn überhaupt, bevor die App abstürzt. Hätte für den Preis mehr erwartet ### 4/5 — Price to high *2026-06-19, version 12.2* Can you make the license cheaper ### 2/5 — Purchased, Then Paywalled *2026-06-11, version 12.2* I paid for this app outright years ago and was happy with it. The app has since been redesigned so that previously purchased functionality is effectively inaccessible without a subscription. New features are one thing; removing the practical value of a paid purchase is another. Prospective buyers should understand that a one-time purchase may not remain usable over time. ### 2/5 — Die Aufmachung ist gut, aber *2026-06-06, version 12.2* Die App ist zum nachschauen und zusammenhänge verstehen gut, jedoch fehlt mir eine Lernfunktion (ein Quiz, mündliche fragen…). Außerdem wäre eine beschriftung, die man an und aus machen kann super und nicht nur wenn man das richtige anklickt. Die Videos sind für die Klinik bestimmt toll, aber 1. wirklich schlecht sortiert 2. es gibt nur zu ganz ausgewählten Sachen Videos (sinnvoll wäre für die Vorklinik zu jedem Bereich ein Video das alles aufgreift von Nerven über Muskeln usw.) So bringt mir die App ehrlicherweise nichts, außer man sucht wirklich etwas ganz bestimmtes und will das in 3D sehen ### 2/5 — Kind of a trap... *2026-06-02, version 12.2* app is really cool but there appears to be no real way to cancel subscription. There directions in the support that lead to nowhere. Be careful with this one. ### 2/5 — not working for ipad *2026-05-25, version 12.2* app works great on my computer but not on the ipad. please fix! ### 3/5 — M5 Pro Ipad 최적화 해주세요 *2026-05-21, version 12.2* 5분먼 지나면 발열 때문에 뜨겁고 배터리도 1분에 1프로씩 닳아요 ### 3/5 — Amazing anatomy, frustrating interface *2026-05-18, version 12.2* 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. ### 4/5 — I need it free my dream *2026-04-12, version 12.1* Pls make the app subscription free im a medical student ### 1/5 — I paid for this app years ago and now its is gone *2026-04-10, version 12.1* I paid a lot for this app years ago and got very satisfactory content. Over the years you have improved and added to that content. But now you have changed our original deal to a subscription. I paid for content and did not ask for more but you have taken content from me and held it for ransom. In my mind this is a violation of a contract. In short FRAUD. ### 3/5 — Falta da língua portuguesa *2026-03-30, version 12.1* O app é incrível, a pergunta que fica é quando teremos a língua portuguesa inserida no app? ### 1/5 — Scam! DO NOT BUY *2026-03-18, version 12.0* I purchased this for $45 and was able to access different models. Now, without warning or notifying me, my $45 purchase gives me the same extremely limited access as not even having an account! I cannot access any model besides skeletal and connective tissue, where before I could access all the models. ### 4/5 — App impecável mas 8/10 porque não tem em português *2026-03-17, version 12.0* Caros desenvolvedores, o app é fantástico e nós alunos e profissionais da área da saúde utilizamos como ferramenta de trabalho e estudo. No entanto não ter a língua portuguesa como opção de língua dificulta muito o entendimento. Mesmo falando em inglês a especificidade das nomenclaturas cria uma enorme barreira linguística. Vejo colegas não utilizando o app por conta disso. De qualquer forma o app é muito bom. Parabéns ### 2/5 — Wouldn’t recommend for iPad - Would Recommend for Mac - Here are the drawbacks: *2026-03-13, version 12.0* 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. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sucks. *2026-08-25, version 12.4* You can barely do ANYTHING if you don’t have a subscription. I downloaded this app for fun and it thinks I’m a whole sergist(I don’t know how to spell it.). ### 1/5 — Not good on ipad *2026-06-25, version 12.3* It keeps crashing every minute ### 1/5 — Tradução *2026-06-18, version 12.2* 200 por ano e não tem nem tradução 🤡 ### 1/5 — Não compre *2026-06-12, version 12.2* Falta bastante detalhes e o gráfico de guardar imagens não é nada bom, não vale o preço. ### 1/5 — Stürzt wiederholt ab *2026-06-10, version 12.2* Lerne mit der App beinahe unmöglich. Ständig stürzt die App. Bei dem Preis sollte man mehr erwarten können. Aktuell würde ich sie niemandem weiterempfehlen. ### 1/5 — Not exactly *2026-05-26, version 12.2* It is free, if you want about 10% of the content. After that, it will cost you. ### 1/5 — App fechando sozinho *2026-05-20, version 12.2* Após atualização app no iPad está fechando sozinho ao abrir ele já fecha já fiz de tudo e não funciona por favor verificar isso urgente ### 1/5 — Problem in import image from gallery *2026-04-23, version 12.2* There is no done button coming after selecting the photos ### 1/5 — Queriam me cobrar de novo. *2026-04-17, version 12.1* Eu me escrevi no app e usei um código que a minha faculdade ofereceu para ter acesso a versão completa do app. Usei por 3 dias na versão completa, e dps eles queriam me cobrar novamente, sendo q eu usei o código da faculdade!!! App horrível. ### 1/5 — Horrible and Expensive *2026-04-14, version 12.1* I may have considered paying the money for the app if it was not so horrible. The sign in is clunky at best and that is when it works and does not redirect you 5 or 6 times. Then while using the app it will randomly drop what you are doing to make you sign in 3 or 4 more times. Horrible much better options out there that are not $119 a year. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 환불 *2026-08-09, version 12.4* 결제가 자동결제가 되었어요 앱 내에서 cancelled 버튼을 뒤늦게 눌렀는데 신용카드 결제 알람이 이미 떴어요 혹시 확실히 환불된 것을 파악할 수 있는 방법을 알 수 있을까요? ### 5/5 — Stupendo *2026-03-28, version 12.1* App perfetta sopratutto la parte 3D ,anche se non italiano è perfetta così :) ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-02-26, version 12.0* especially for head & neck ### 5/5 — Cannot sign in *2026-02-05, version 11.7.2* 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. ### 5/5 — Can i use my face model *2025-12-08, version 11.7.1* Can i use my face or others face photo and adjust height / shaped For surgical planning ### 5/5 — Português do Brasil *2025-12-07, version 11.7.1* Quero assinar a aplicação, mas, apenas quando chegar a versão em português do Brasil! 😢🙏🏻🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Extremely helpful, some small mistakes *2025-11-09, version 11.6.1* 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 ### 5/5 — LA MEJOR APLICACIÓN DE ANATOMÍA *2025-11-09, version 11.6.1* Esta aplicación es la mejor del mercado, habiendo usado todas. Máxima precisión en las piezas anatómicas y en los detalles. Por poner una propuesta de mejor, falta detalle en el sistema nervioso, con posibilidad de ver diferentes cortes, posibilidad de elaborar modelos en los que llevar a cabo las vías, etc. ### 5/5 — La meilleur application *2025-10-22, version 11.6* Franchement, je suis bluffé par Complete Anatomy — c’est littéralement mon bébé. Je pourrais plus m’en passer, c’est devenu indispensable pour mes études de médecine. Je tiens à remercier et féliciter toute l’équipe pour cette appli incroyable. 🙏 Et comme je fais aussi des vidéos en médecine, si jamais vous cherchez quelqu’un pour en parler ou représenter votre produit, ce serait un vrai plaisir pour moi ! 🎥❤️ ### 5/5 — 애플펜슬 오류 *2025-08-11, version 11.4* 펜슬로 모델의 근육이나 뼈 신경 등을 터치하면 선택이 되지 않아요. 손으로 터치하면 선택이 되고 설명이 나오는데 펜슬로 하면 안되요 펜슬로 회전이나 이런건 됩니다. 13인치 M4 재부팅 앱재설치 다해봤습니다 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
