  • Excellent! A must have for TCM field of study.

    This app has been an amazing tool for school and in clinical use. There are easy quick searches for points and videos of how to locate the points. This app. is one of my main resources for my 3yr diploma of study in Acupuncture. I also purchased the textbook to compliment the app. But now with the upgrade - you only need the digital version! I also want to say that the 2 times I encountered an issue with the app - my problem was validated and resolved quite quickly!

    I recommend to any student or current practitioner of Chinese medicine.

  • So helpful in clinic

    I bought the original app in 2012 when I was a student, I use it all the time, I love the videos. The updated manual of acupuncture app is awesome, it replicates the book, the detailed commentary on each point, when you want more information is so helpful. Thank you!
  • WOW, and not in a good way.

    The app used to be good, not amazing but good and did the job. I am currently an acupuncture student so I paid the $25 and now half the time i either cant log into the app after every new update that’s suppose to “fix issues” or it’ll crash. It’ll happen either on my iPhone or my iPad. Literally at the moment i can log into my iPhone version but my iPad is not letting me log on at all. Please fix ASAP as i use this app (or try to when it works) on a daily basis.

  • Brilliant App

    I highly recommend this app I use almost everyday it I has detailed and clear information. The support service is first class very friendly and helpful too.
  • The best resource you will ever need!

    Without a doubt this is the best resource you will ever need or want. I have tried many apps over the years to see if any come close to this, but this truly soars above any. Clear and concise videos supplement the text and drawings better than I have seen anywhere. This is the ideal guide to support training and just wish I’d had something like this 40 years ago. It will continue to be a valuable resource in any practice. Well worth 5 times the price! They have maintained the app in all Apple upgrades too which is a true bonus and their support is quick and spot on! Well done!

  • Total BS

    I’ve had the old app since it first came out and it’s worked for me for years. With my latest iphone update a couple days ago the old app no longer works properly. I downloaded the new app but I can’t log in. Why not just upgrade the original app. Total BS.
  • Needs improvement

    Giving 5 stars because it is still an excellent resource but, I keep getting logged out of the app which is inconvenient when using in clinic or to when you want to look something up in a moments notice. It is slower that the first version.

    The updated version offers more but the convenience and speed seems to have been sacrificed.

    The website is great as well but response is slow. Also I have noticed some photos on website do not match the point that is being displayed.

  • Good content but buggy

    Love the content. Same as book plus videos.
    However. It asks for my username and password every day. The point info pages often do not scroll down. I have to navigate away and come back for the point information to be fully loaded.
    The book is less convenient but way more reliable.

    Developer Response

    @Bados44, thanks for your feedback. We've had a lot of trouble dealing with issues thrown up by the latest iOS update. However, we think we're now on top of them and will be releasing another update very soon. As for having to log in each time, please make sure you're not closing the app after use. If you leave it running in the background you shouldn't have to log back in very often. We've tried to improve this further in the new update.
  • Great reference and help for students of the study

    Thank you for making this app. I use it as a student and I can reference things so quickly which helps me study more efficiently. I wish the search engine was a bit more forgiving when it comes to looking up symptoms of specific organs and key words to help find the channel point I need. Maybe talk to Giovanni on getting an app. :)

  • Broken

    Bought the app and now no access - and it keeps saying me email is wrong when I try to reset my password - so frustrating.
