This is a phenomenal study tool for point location, not a fast reference guide. Because it's based on the Deadman manualāthe US gold standard for teaching and passing boardsāit's perfect for both quick micro-sessions and deep-dive studying. I also haven't run into any of the performance or buffering issues others reported. Highly recommended for acupuncture students! Know you are loved š¤

No graphics in the new version
Response from developer
Please delete the app fully and download again with good wifi. Allow the initial synch and download to complete, then if you wish you can use the My MoA section to download media for offline use. This should fix the issue.

Good when it works
Response from developer
Please update to v 5.9, which we hope corrects these problems.
Terrible. A previously great app lost to subscription-based capitalism.
Response from developer
Sorry for any confusion but we DO NOT charge any extra to anyone with a previous lifetime purchase. If you use the email address associated with the old app, it should allow you the same access to the new app. If not, please contact us via support@amanualofacupuncture.com and we will help sort this out.
Timeless
Each point profile is richly layered, complete with location, needling technique, actions, indications, and commentary that bridges ancient texts with contemporary application. The illustrations are exceptional, offering clear anatomical guidance while honoring the energetic pathways we work with daily.
What I appreciate most is the clarity and consistency of the layout. Whether Iām refining a treatment strategy, teaching students, or crafting metaphoric patient materials, this manual offers both technical depth and poetic inspiration. Itās a book I return to again and again, not just for information, but for insight.
For any serious student or seasoned practitioner of acupuncture, this is more than a textbook. Itās a companion in the lifelong study of the channels, points, and the healing art they embody.

Thank you for the kind words! We're delighted you feel this way.
100% Downgrade From Prev Version
2) The interface is so large that even on my iPad Pro I canāt see majority of the page, that is extremely inconvenient.
3) The loading time on this one is crazy long.
4) When I go to watch the videos, they donāt close automatically when theyāre done anymore, which I loved. Also if youāre watching it in landscape orientation and exit the video, it will go to portrait orientation and you have to exit the video tab altogether to get it back to landscape orientation.
5) This is just literally the WORST upgrade ever. There was honestly nothing wrong with the last version.
Response from developer
We're sorry you feel this way, but thank you for your feedback - we are working on some of the points you mention, especially loading times, so hopefully you will find v5.9 to be an improvement, and we will continue to work on other aspects as they come to our attention. The old version had become completely unusable by many customers due to outdated technology, so we are committed to making the new version just as good, but with many added featured (e.g. there are new testing options, better synching between app and website, new patient-centred acupressure point location videos, and more). As for free access, this was only ever possible at the 'Lite' level, i.e. with very limited access. This is still possible. New users get a free 7 day trial (although payment details are required). If the user cancels the subscription at any time during that 7 days, they will continue with 'Lite' access after that.
Major Downgrade From the Old App
Additionally, the new app did not transfer over the point groups I had saved in the older version. Since I can no longer log in to the old app, I donāt have access to those groups anymore, and I canāt recreate them from memory.
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback - we're sorry you feel this is now a one star app. We continue to work on improving it and hope you will feel differently soon. We have temporarily reinstated the old app, so if you still have it on your device you should be able to log in. Please copy any important notes/groups as we can't keep both versions active for very long.
A great app, ruined
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback - we are working hard to improve the new app. As for the recurring network failures, this is not something we've seen in our testing, and we haven't had other reports of this so it may be something specific to your device set-up, for example perhaps another service running in the background which is mimicking brief network outages. We will of course do what we can to fix this if we have other reports. Please send a screen recording to support@amanualofacupuncture.com showing the problem and we will ask our developers to investigate further.
Nicely organized
Response from developer
Many thanks for your kind words!
Prefer the old version too
Response from developer
We're sorry you're not currently happy with the new version, but we are working hard to iron out any teething problems. The old version was not working at all for many users. which is why we released the new one when we did. We tested it extensively but could not account for all real-world scenarios. We are now addressing the issues that have come to our attention as quickly as possible. We are currently focussing on the loading and navigation speed, but when this is optimised we will turn our attention to improving the layout. There are many new features and improvements in the new version, so hopefully you will soon love it even more than the old one.
Upgrade
Response from developer
We apologise for any frustration while we iron out the early teething problems. The old version got to a point where it didn't work at all for many users due to obsolete technology, hence we undertook the huge task of rebuilding it from scratch, and hopefully you will soon enjoy it even more than the old one.
Customer support is top tier
