Funktioniert einwandfrei. ### 5/5 — Trigger Point Helper *2026-02-09, version 6.6* I do A LOT of deep tissue work on athletes, and it helps to use the app quickly to refresh my memory of places to focus. ### 5/5 — I use this at least once a week. *2026-01-25, version 6.6* 65. Highland game heavy athlete. Rock lifter. Sandbagger. Known as “el monstruo” at the quarry. Martial ages since age 8. Incurred a lotta damage. This app helps a lot if you’re are or have been foolish or just are unlucky in love, life or physics. ### 5/5 — Helpful.., *2026-01-11, version 6.6* Great go to tool !!! Perfect and handy!! Wonderful refresher!! ### 5/5 — Helped Trendously *2025-12-19, version 6.6* This has really helped me figure out many sources causing my plantar fasciitis that even my doctor didn’t know about. Somehow my podiatrist was only thinking the sources coming from the foot and not all the way up to my calves. I’m also seeing tight places that could be causing my TMJ. Very worth it. ### 5/5 — Been using this helpful App for 15 years! *2025-12-16, version 6.6* This app has come in handy so often. I refer it to all of my new hires immediately upon hiring them! ### 5/5 — Educational and Helpful *2025-11-21, version 6.6* I got this app back in 2009 when I was going through school and I still use it. Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Helpful *2025-11-07, version 6.6* Very helpful little tool to have in clinic for patient education or personal review! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-10-10, version 6.6* I truly was blessed awhile ago to meet someone who used this app to help me with my pain management. And I second guessed it at first and didn’t use it but I started getting pain again and took the time to learn about the human body. And this app brought me back to my high school days learning about the human anatomy. Thank you for the knowledge that our creator have blessed you guys with. I’m impressed. Even with the new update videos wow. Great job! ### 5/5 — Use this app constantly *2025-10-08, version 6.6* I have been using tpt for many years, and love this app! ### 5/5 — Hands down, best APP on the market *2025-09-16, version 6.6* I have been using this APP for years! It’s the most used app next to Duolingo. ### 5/5 — Highly Recommended!!! *2025-09-08, version 6.6* Been using this since my university years about 16 years ago and this app is a useful now as it was then. You can tell they’ve put a lot of work in making this easy to understand. If you’re looking to better your understanding of Trigger Points and how to apply them this is the app for you. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-08-23, version 6.6* I have been a massage therapist over 12 years and I use this app for reference. It’s a great tool to have in your pocket ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-08-22, version 6.6* Even my physiotherapist is loving it 👍 so simple to use and it works ### 5/5 — Muito bom!! *2025-08-10* Vale cada centavo investido! ### 5/5 — So helpful! *2025-08-07, version 6.6* This is well broken down and categorized, and the Videos are also very helpful. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Fantastic. Well- organized and easy to use! *2025-07-21, version 6.6* No clutter here (what a breath of fresh air)! Wish more app designers knew this concept. Just started using it to work on a variety of aches and pains and it has already helped with my jaw pain after working on 3 trigger points. Love it and wish I’d found it sooner! ### 5/5 — Very Helpful *2025-07-04, version 6.6* I appreciate the quick and easy access to the information I need in a middle of a treatment. ### 5/5 — Great product and value *2025-06-10, version 6.6* Use frequently and works great, excellent resource for self maintenance and body work! ### 5/5 — Extremely helpful! *2025-05-27, version 6.6* I turn to this app every time I have an unsolvable ache or pain - and it works! Love that I am able to help myself work through problem areas. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 日本語表示の仕方がわからない。 *2023-10-10* どなたか教えてください😭 ### 1/5 — Not being maintained. Does not display properly on iPad Pro 12.9” *2021-08-09, version 6.1* I used to like this app, but it appears that it is no longer being maintained and updated. It’s been a while since I used it and went in recently to look up an issue, and the images no longer display properly on the screen. I see that the last update was over a year ago, so the app is obviously not being maintained and updated. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — 为什么没有中文？ *2020-12-19* 在中国不用中文？？？当所有人都是8级英语啊？ ### 1/5 — バグる *2020-12-09* すぐにバグる 動かない 操作できない。 ### 1/5 — 图片有遮挡，显示很不完整，无法看全面，赶紧修复升级，否则用户全跑了。 *2020-09-22* 图片有遮挡，显示很不完整，无法看全面，赶紧修复升级，否则用户全跑了。 ### 1/5 — 我要退货，英文一字看不懂呀 *2019-03-03* 怎么办？求翻译。 ### 1/5 — 什么时候升级成中文 *2016-04-28* 为什么没有中文版。 可不可以翻译一下。 英文完全没有用。 一点都看不懂。 ### 1/5 — Totally confusing *2015-04-04, version 3.0.1* It does not even explain the dead basics: 1. What IS a trigger point? Is it the bit that hurts? Or something else? 2. What is a "referral muscle"? The muscle that contains the trigger point? Or some other muscle that could be the true source if the pain? Are the list of muscles a list of likely referral muscles? 3. What are the likely treatments? This glaring lack of straight-forward explanation of even the elementary basics, makes one wonder about the mental state of both the programmers and the other commentators that rate it so highly. It needs to radically alter the presentation so that it does not make it a struggle to decipher what it tries to explain. Absolute waste of time. ### 1/5 — Poor *2013-05-29, version 2.4* It's not a good application to buy just incomplete and insufficient informations. ### 1/5 — 실행이 안되요~ *2010-12-08* 실행이 안되요~ 안되는거면 결제취소해주세요~어서 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-08-11, version 6.6* Great for figuring out pain and referral pain trigger points ### 5/5 — Best App, used it for years now *2026-08-08, version 6.6* Amazing app that means I can treat injuries, aches and pains super fast. Incredibly helpful to locate where the actual pain is coming from which I can then share with my physio. ### 5/5 — Super appli !!!! *2026-07-27, version 6.6* J’adore très pratique pour les massothérapeutes ! ### 5/5 — Great resource! *2026-07-17, version 6.6* Love this app! Use it as a resource at a personal trainer, not stepping out of my scope of practice, but to help clients define their hot spots, do self-myofascial release, and develop a plan for strengthening weak areas. ### 5/5 — This is a perfect app. Five stars is too low. *2026-07-14, version 6.6* This is an amazing way to learn about trigger point therapy, or an amazing resource for people who already know something about it. In my opinion this is quite possibly the best in the App Store. Everyone should get it immediately. If every person in our society had it on their phone society would be much more pain-free in life would be generally better ### 5/5 — Very Useful *2026-07-08, version 6.6* This app is very Useful and User Friendly. It is set up just like Travell’s Trigger Point books, but fits in your pocket. You can search by area or muscle. I use it in my acupuncture practice every week. ### 5/5 — a practical and no fuss app *2026-06-12, version 6.6* wish more apps were built exactly like this one, well a lot of them started off like that but are so bloated that they’re now useless (like google search engine for example) but this app gives me nostalgia it just works so well exactly as intended ### 5/5 — Saved my life *2026-06-12, version 6.6* Cured years worth of pain in a week with this app ### 5/5 — Best Trigger Point App *2026-04-23, version 6.6* I have had this app for years! I was trained in the Travell and Simons trigger point technique many years ago. As a former massage therapist who still loves to do trigger point to help others this app has come to my aid many times. I love it and highly recommend this to anyone looking for the perfect resource to apply trigger point therapy! It’s like looking at the charts or posters but better in 3D! Thank you to the creators for making such a valuable resource for those of us trained in body work and those who’d like to learn! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-03-11, version 6.6* I’ve used this app over many years and love it. Easy to use. It’s moved effortlessly from old to new phone and across different operating systems. Highly recommend. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
