### 1/5 — Careless

*2026-01-22*

The developers don’t care about their customers: the response is 2 (!) years late!
Also useless for the eyesight challenged customers as the dark theme makes letters indiscernible.

**Developer response:** As I explained to you via email. The images would have no contrast in a dark background. I'm sorry. But not every app can have a dark theme.

### 2/5 — Achtung zusätzliche Kosten

*2026-01-10*

Die App ist ganz ok, unfair ist allerdings, dass man zu den 19,99 € für bestimmte Optionen noch monatlich zahlen muss, dann kann man gleich die bessere App von iaomai wählen

**Developer response:** I understand what you are saying but cloud services generate recurrent costs and it wouldn't be viable with a one time payment. Besides that, those services are optional. It's just how the internet works nowadays and I either pass on the costs to you or I go bankrupt and remove the app from the store. Also, most of the app is available forever after the first purchase. It's not like you pay twice for the same thing. It's for different things. We buy a tv and still pay for netflix. Same here. The app is a platform for other specialized services.

### 4/5 — Dúvida

*2025-08-07*

Comprei mas qdo troquei de celular tive que comprar novamente. Por que?

**Developer response:** Olá, desculpe a demora em te responder, são muitas mensagens. 
Entre em contato por email, por favor, pra eu te ajudar melhor (support@tcmpoints.com).

### 5/5 — Great acupuncture point visuals

*2025-05-29*

Daniel was great at responding to an inquiry of mine.  Appreciate the app in my practice as sometimes I send pictures of points to my patients for their understanding.  
Great app great service.

### 1/5 — Betrug

*2025-02-06*

Ich habe die App vor ca. 2-3 Monaten gekauft. Bis jetzt funktionierte gut. Jetzt kann man kein Notizen finden und nichts mehr hinfügen. Dafür muss man ein Abo abschließen!! Es gibt die App ( Shen) wo man das gleiche Abo Preise bezahlt aber viel besser aufgebaut und hat man keine versteckte Preise wie bei diese.

**Developer response:** The annotations feature relies on third party cloud servers that have monthly costs. I can't do anything about it. Maybe Shen app is cheaper, but it's far from better (or safer). Shen app is a cheap copy of this app. The Acupuncture Assistant was the first app for acupuncturists in the world. It's 16 years old for a reason. There's a higher purpose behind it.

### 1/5 — Ruim

*2024-11-09*

Serve p nada

**Developer response:** Dezenas de milhares de clientes discordam de você. Se você não é acupunturista, por que não pede o reembolso? Você pode fazer pela própria App Store. Por favor o faça. Será um prazer.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-11-03*

A first class resource.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2024-02-10*

I rarely leave reviews. This is an excellent app.  I love that it shows the bone structure too, that is the traditional way of locating points that I was taught.  This app is pretty feature rich as well, for example, nice search function. Thanks, keep up the good work!

### 1/5 — Péssimo

*2023-05-27*

Comprei achando que podia usar aa anotação de para colocar tipos de tratamento,e outros, tem que se tornar vip, isso é só pra privar dinheiro . Quero meu reembolso entrei em cor ato assombrei fiz a comprar e até hoje nada . E-mail não responde .

**Developer response:** Olá. Eu respondi seu email, mas sua caixa de entrada estava cheia e as 3 tentativas voltaram. Sobre pagar pelo serviço online, infelizmente não tenho como oferecer gratuitamente pois o limite grátis que eu tinha acabou. Eu tinha um ano de serviço de nuvem grátis e passei gratuitamente pros meus usuários, mesmo tendo trabalhado pra desenvolver o acesso pelo app. Mas quando eles começaram a me cobrar $1 por usuário, tive que repassar o custo pra quem quisesse usar. Não tem como eu assumir $1 pra cada usuário, todo mês, sendo que eu recebo apenas uma vez pelo app. Eu iria à falência em 2 meses. Compras vitalícias não pagm custos recorrentes. Espero que entenda e reveja sua avaliação. Você claramente usa o app como ferramenta de trabalho e ele tem lhe sido útil. 1 estrela é injusto e convenhamos, $1 dólar por mês não paga nem um café hoje em dia.

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2022-09-23*

This app helps me a lot finding the acupuncture points with very good images and helpful notes. Also I like how the meridians are sorted, it makes it so easy to learn.
