  • Great Reference App!

    This is a fantastic app, and it keeps getting better. The developers are really great, they respond when I’ve had a problem and have listened to user input. Keep up the good work.
  • Excellent!

    This is by far the best TCM app available. Not only does it have complete information on points, herbs, formulas and auricular, but it also has expansions to include Master Tung points, wrist and ankle points and my favorite: quizes. I have contacted the creators of this app several times and each time, they have included my suggestions on how to make the app better. Furthermore, they have a history of updating the app every few months. My only regret is that I cannot give the makers of this app the money I spent on other TCM apps in the iTunes store.

  • BY FAR THE BEST CHINESE MEDICINE APP AVAILABLE

    This app is unquestionably the must have app for TCM students and practitioners. Its value and information exceed the other currently available major TCM apps combined at a fraction of the cost (e.g., BenCao and Points). The app includes information on diagnosis, single herbs, herbal formulas, and acupuncture points (including auricular). The herbs are organized individually, by category, by formula, and formula category. Acupuncture points are organized by channel and also by category. Images for the herbs and acupuncture points are included with a zoom function. The interface is excellent, the app is search enabled, and you can edit and modify information within the app. Combine all of this with a Quiz Yourself add-on that enables you to test your knowledge by indentifying the image, functions, indications, taste, channels influenced, diagnosis, western use, and location of the herbs, formulas, and points and you have an awesome tool for quick review and study at mid-term and final crunch time!!! The developer is also very responsive and diligently works on improving the already fantastic app. Again, if you are a TCM student or practitioner looking for a solid overall TCM app look no further and BUY THIS APP NOW!!!

  • TCM Professions and Students all need this excellent app!!!

    This is an app that all TCM professions and students must have! And it works so great! Excellent format and information! Thank you thank you!!!
  • App crashes

    A LOT. I don't often get to use this app for any length of time because it crashes mid search or crashes at launch. I use the original iPhone. Maybe that's the problem??

    Other than that, it "seems" like it would be a handy app. Wish acu points were searchable in pinyin though.

    Either way it's close to useless for me and I will have to find something else.

  • Great app; almost complete

    Love it. Very useful. Five stars if there were diagrams, especially for the Tung's points. Well worth the purchase, I use it in clinic daily.
  • just wish they made a desktop version!

    this is absolutely my go-to app for chinese medicine! it's got point info, individual herb & formula info as well as auricular acu and it's all integrated and cross-referenced! I can search by any of the above, or by diagnosis or symptom. i just type in 'cough' for example & it will bring up all points, formulas, herbs, ear points, and technical tcm diagnoses that could be used with cough. then, i can click on any of those for further detail. it's fantastic. i've downloaded all the other tcm apps available and while I like ben cao for herbs and acupoints ultimate for points, tcm clinic aid is exactly how I practice. i only wish it had more detail - more detailed images with the the ability to tap on a point for info about it like in acupoints. in any case, the infrastructure is there. i look forward to more more more detail!

  • TCM Student

    For the most part, I like the herbs, points, and the navigation. I feel that the diagnostic pertaining to the 8 principes were very very very poorly done. Most of the hot syndromes were label as cold. I can understand that mistakes can happen but it happens far too often for the 8 p. No effort has been made to correct.
    I wonder if this was done by some programer? A real TCM practioner would take every precautions to stand by his/her work.

    This apps has improved so much! Keep up the good works.

  • Well worth having

    Lots of great material that is easy to navigate. Still shuts down at times, but is overall fantastic and well worth the price.
  • Needs a bit more

    The layout is nice but the function is lacking. There needs to be a way to add personal notes and new formulas. It also would be very useful to be able to link to herbs in formulas, formulas from single herb pages.
