### 1/5 — Horrible.

*2013-03-19, version 1.2*

The app stopped working and there is no way to contact the developer. The vital points section is weak. I have martial arts experience and I can tell you, many points are left out and others although they may be decent strike points, they are not "vital" necessarily. The vital points should have reflected the same Chinese system, not Japanese points that don't relate to the chart. Nice attempt, not worth the money unless a good upgrade is made.

### 1/5 — Waste at this point.

*2013-01-14, version 1.2*

Fancy right? Not worth the $16 at this point, especially if you are trying to learn anything actually specific and helpful, like the point numbers! or the translations.  That would be a helpful app. not something that one can find on the internet for free.  I for one will investigate a way to get a refund... for JUST the meridian. yes fine. but just look at the models that you find on google... or bing if your into that kind of thing.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2013-01-13, version 1.2*

I spent the money hoping to get a good study tool but instead I get a less than satisfactory product. The most important feature, the 'tap to indicate point' does not work. I find myself flipping through menus more than trying to memorize and identify points. It's really irritating and there is no way to contact the manufacturer to fix it! If they fixed this than I would say its worth the money but right now it's all just a bunch of colored dots on a model.

### 2/5 — No way to contact support to suggest changes

*2012-11-07, version 1.2*

This app could be 100% better. Since update, touch to teach feature where you touch the dot an the description appears does not work. Contacting the developer is impossible. No email or support group to suggest change. I do find this app useful in locating points however it doesn't work well when I have to use move from the main screen to find a point in the bookmarks.

### 4/5 — Great but not completely accurate

*2012-09-09, version 1.2*

This is a great app that enables you to see all of the primary meridians three dimensionally which is unique to this app. Only drawback is that not all of the points are in their accurate location.

### 5/5 — AWESOME

*2011-02-05, version 1.1*

Once I figured out how to work it ,  it was Awesome
Help menu at the very beginning so it's a-lot better
+.  Info on SI10 SI14 points need switched

### 1/5 — Big Mistake! Stay Away!

*2010-11-30, version 0*

Yes, unfortunately I own this app.
It's just Not worth the money!
Doesn't even deserve the one star I'm being forced to rate this. Oh well!  So I just flushed $16 down the ...No big deal right? Spend your money elsewhere, you'll be sorry if you don't.

### 5/5 — One of the best...

*2010-08-16, version 0*

For quick reference this is exactly what I've been looking for. This is as close as you will get w/o the doll. 

You won't be disappointed. 

Only thing is I wish he'd list it under both meridian & acupuncture if he's going to call it that instead of just acupuncture--makes it hard to find.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2010-05-14, version 0*

This app should be free. Very lame graphics! I wish I never purchased.
Don't waste your time you will be sorry.
