Needs iPad compatibility

When I bought this app I didn’t realize that it only works in the vertical screen orientation for iPad. This is extremely inconvenient, as a CCM student who uses my iPad as a small computer in the horizontal orientation. I was sincerely hoping to be able to use this app every day and type all my own notes in at the bottom. Please fix this, and then I will rate 5 stars.

Bencao disappeared off of my wife's new iPhone 7

My wife and I both have Bencao on our iPhone's for many years and we use it all of the time. We both just got iphone 7 and we restored them from our last backup of our 6S. My Bencao was on my new phone but it was not on my wife's iPhone. She went to the App Store and it was only for purchase but she already purchased it years ago. Can you please advise how to restore Bencao on her iPhone.

Great app for Chinese Herbalists

I don't have to lug around a bunch of giant books anymore! Great app for students and herbalists.

Functions flawlessly, but could use more frequent updates

This is a fantastic app and I have used it regularly over the course of several years. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to keep up with updates for the new iOS systems. This app has never crashed on me and all of the hyperlinks function as they should. There is definitely a wealth of information within the app in a very concise manner, but there are very few (literally) holes that could be filled in.

Die beste TCM-App, die ich kenne.

Dies ist die gründlichste und beste TCM-App, die ich unter ca. 40 anderen als beste empfunden habe. Schaue hier gerne einzelne Kräuter oder Zusammensetzungen von Rezepturen nach. Auch im täglichen Praxis-Betrieb sehr nützlich.
