Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: nTube at none against Complete Anatomy for iPhone's 6. nTube also leads on iOS requirement (8.2 vs 18.0). Complete Anatomy for iPhone's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (3.7K vs 4). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Complete Anatomy for iPhone holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Complete Anatomy for iPhone has 3.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of nTube's written reviews are positive against 56% of Complete Anatomy for iPhone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

nTube ships an update every 20 months, Complete Anatomy for iPhone every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
