### 1/5 — Ridiculously priced

*2025-06-01*

Not good for the price

### 3/5 — Unable to isolate muscles

*2025-01-21*

Minimal info about iliopsoas. Difficult isolating muscles to determine anatomy. Difficult to see layers

### 3/5 — Still some glitches

*2024-05-18*

Overall good but there are still some updates and details that need addressing. Eg. There is no needling demonstration for the subscapularis muscle.  The safety overview has been uploaded in both the safety and the needling sections.  I’ve found a few similar issues in and around the app.  Some attention to detail is needed to get it fully functional.  Then it will be great!

### 1/5 — No sound on videos

*2023-02-14*

Looks promising but cannot get sound to play on any video.

### 5/5 — Very useful tool

*2023-02-08*

I was very happy with the speed, efficiency and patience with which my problem was dealt. Absolutely love the App, great aid to my work. My best wishes and gratitude to Simeon and Paramjot.

Next to none technical support team. Thanks a lot Jonathan

### 5/5 — An excellent app and resource

*2022-09-14*

Brilliant app for anyone interested in trigger point work with videos of one of the “Founding Fathers” of trigger points, Prof. Gerwin. If you’re a professional that uses dry needling, it’s well worth fully unlocking the app to gain access to needling and safety videos and for the amount of content available. It’s a multi-volume text book in your pocket that’s interactive and is excellent value for money on that basis.

### 5/5 — Loved the new UI

*2022-05-28*

New upgrade looks much better and educational video contents is super helpful.

**Developer response:** Thank you

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work properly

*2021-11-23*

I think this looks great but when downloaded there is no sound and when watching a demo video I am unable to come out of it unless I remove the app from my phone each time. Very disappointing

### 5/5 — Great app with useful content

*2021-01-12*

I am really enjoying this app, it has some very useful educational content related to Pain maps, Trigger points.
Thanks

### 1/5 — Want to try? Waste of time

*2020-07-08*

Wanted to test the app... went through registering and email verification only to see it wants me to pay $20/mo only to get 7-day free trial to test it out. What is this nonsense? I need to test and see what it is I’m paying for!!!!!!
