Cannot open the app

I paid for this app and suddenly I cannot even open it. It is disappearing when I open it. I tried deleted the app and put it back on but it’s no hope. It’s quite annoying when you trying to look up for references but it’s not working.

No quiz?

Worth the money

So much information about herbs and their pharmacological applications, along with other information about acupuncture points and a diagnostics section. A very useful app for amateur and professional alike. 👍🏼
