Great app but missing a few features
I love the ease of this app, and overall think it is fantastic and feel very grateful to have this resource. I do wish that it would show which category any given herb or formula is in once you are in the entry, just as you can see the header telling you which section an herb is in when reading the material médica. I also wish that it would save your recent searches into your search history so you could easily reengage with what you were just looking at. Adding these two feature would make this app pretty much perfect. As it stands it is great, but it is a little tedious to use as a study tool because of the lack of those features.

Simply the Best
Best Resource for a Novice
Two huge texts in 1 app
I LOVE this apps. I use this clinically frequently, as a reference.
Awesome
I love this app, follows Bensky knowledge. Easy to search, text is clear and well stated. If I can ask for imporvement: I wish that I can open 1-3 windows for easy comparison of formula or herbs. Also, I would love to have option of highlight the text for me important. Highly recommend!
Review
As an accupuncture student I find this app incredibly useful. In fact- sometimes I wish I hadn’t spent so much money on the accompanying books. The app pulls things up so quickly, I’d recommend for acupuncturists and students alike.
$100+ to access any information
Will never pay that much, all of this info is available for free online.
Excellent app
Great app full of resources well designed ty
Herbal medicine reference book
One of the most complete reference and study guides on the market for Chinese/Holistic Herbal Medicine!
Explanations and commentaries are well written and easy to comprehend by students and practitioners alike. Correlation between classical and modern interpretations are also well thought through.
Job well done!

Very handy and comprehensive
I use this basically every day. Sometimes I will have this open on my phone and on my iPad so I can simultaneously be referencing different herbs and formulas.
Constant Resource
Worth every penny and then some!
Love it!
Great for reference and well updated! Love the search engines
Great Resource!
I love this app and use it on a regular basis in my TCM studies. All aspects of this app are great, but if I had to nitpick: I wish I could see the category/subcategory of single herbs on their page. the only way I can see them, is in the TOC, or if I search the herb specifically. I'm currently in formulas I and when researching the ingredients, it would be helpful to click the hyperlink on the formula page and see the herbal category the single herb belongs to.

Missing bookmarks, highlighting, etc tools
The app content is great. For the price paid it would be very helpful if the developer would add some tools to save favorites herbs, formula, options to write note and comments, highlight or look up the definition. This will make it very helpful.
so so annoying I have no words
Not only this app has black and white pictures instead of normal color, which is so vitally important for Materia medica to recognise the herb, but YOU CANNOT WORK WITH THIS APP AT ALL! Only look, but if you are a student like me you will be in pain unable to copy any herb name for your notes or any piece of text you need. Utterly useless, cannot believe I paid nearly 100 dollars for each of their e-books which were total pain and useless to work with. Big mistake I purchased the app without checking first! Feel like sent my another £109.99 to the bin! Annoyed beyond! Will NEVER NEVER buy anything from this company again. All they care is their comfort, but dont care thats its the most useless, super uncomfortable thing to use and charging so expensive! I will request a refund or write a massive complain about such useless and expensive products! Extremely dissapointed! !!!

Worth every penny
Even if you have the actual books, this app is such an invaluable tool to have. I use it daily. So much faster at looking things up quickly and efficiently for fast reference, but I do love highlighting in my paper books as well. I highly recommended this app to ALL herbal medicine students and practitioners alike. I was hesitant to spend the money at first since I do have the book, but I now have zero regrets. It is a much have for sure!

Very handy

Excellent reference
This app has been an excellent reference and is now my go to in the clinic. Move over Formulas & Strategies and Materia Medica, I’ve got something better!
Very useful
I highly recommend this book to my students and Acupuncturists and herbalist. Best Reference during practice and also help for learning formula and strategy. I use this book to create Question for NCCAOM herbalololgy exams!
Wish I could write notes in the app
Great resource. It’s missing functionality. It would be great to be able to make personal notes for single herbs and formulas.
