1. 2/5Amazing app but it loses sight of its consumer base

   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.

2. 3/5Great but isn’t Playing Nice with iPad OS26

   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.

3. 5/5Best app for medical students

   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!

4. 5/5It’s not a subscription (revised)

   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.

5. 2/5Too expensive for Artists

   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.
