### 1/5 — Yet another password required

*2017-12-20*

I'm a bit dismayed that, after paying quite a hefty price for this app, I cannot use it without creating yet another account and yet another password. I have quite a few clinical reference apps (including for example Deadman's Manual of Acupuncture, Chinese language herbal medicine apps, and a bunch of western medical apps) and none of them require that after purchase I need to set up another account to use them at all. Frankly I'm password exhausted and just wanted a clinical app that I could start using. As a profession Chinese medicine practitioner I frankly find this insistence on collecting minutia of my personal data unnecessarily invasive. If the app description had included the fact that I could not use without setting up an account I would not have purchased and just stayed with an actual book. I'm going to try to get my money back from this purchase.

**Developer response:** It is password protected not to collect your information, but rather to allow you to keep secure all your own notes for your clinical experiences and comments on formulas etc.

### 5/5 — Fantastic classical CM app

*2017-12-21*

A fantastic app for those needing a quick reference guide to Classical Chinese medicine formulas! Super easy to navigate, very straightforward and informative.

### 5/5 — Amazing. Classics at your fingertips

*2017-12-19*

This app makes looking up Classical Chinese medicine info a breeze. Not only does have Shang Han lun, Jin Gui but also Bian Mai Fa, ping mai fa- pulse texts. 

Great for clinical reference, study. Learn on the go. 

You can add in your own notes for formulas. 

Plus, every formula has the original administration methods + converted to modern measurements...so time saving. 

It's like having all the text books in one handy app... so much value for the price. 

Awesome
App.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2017-12-18*

Amazingly comprehensive, with more features than I put in my own notes. All dose conversions, And immediate references to source text lines. A perfect electronic companion for any practitioner of Shang Han Za Bing Lun and Jing Fan.
