Excelente

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2026-07-15*

Encantador este aplicativo estou de boca aberta ainda não tinha conhecido outro igual, o que eu achei ruim é que eu pago custa R$250 e não dá pra dividir o vitalício

### 5/5 — Sharing the love

*2025-12-14*

I absolutely love this app. I’ve already recommended it to someone else who has any interest in meridians and TCM. I wouldn’t change anything about it because it’s honestly perfect, but if there was something I’d appreciate as an optional add on, it would be the ability to purchase channels/maps from other traditions, like the Nadis in Ayurvedic medicine and Sen lines from the Thai medicine tradition. Beyond that, this is an amazing thing, and I’m so appreciative of its creators.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much french learner 24! With pleasure :)
We've added your suggestion to the list of possible improvements for Tsubook. Please note that in view of the large number of suggestions we receive, and the workload involved in developing new features, we give priority to implementing the most requested.

### 4/5 — Klasse Funktionen, aber App Designe / Leistung verbesserungsfähig

*2025-11-26*

Ich mag die App. Finde das so der ein oder anderer Punkt ist nicht exakt an der Stelle zu sehen ist. Die App ist leider nicht an moderne Apps angepasst. Kein vollbild beim iPhone 13 Pro Max und es ruckelt stark. Keine Optimierung für 120 hz. Die Benutzung der des 3D Menschen könnte besser sein. Wenn man die einzelnen Wirkungen eines Punktes schaut und runter scrollt wird gerne mal einfach ein Punkt ausgewählt den man nicht angeklickt hat.

**Developer response:** Hallo Nickjo2, vielen Dank für Ihr Interesse an Tsubook! Wir nehmen Ihr Feedback zur Kenntnis. Wenn Sie sich mit uns über diese Fragen austauschen möchten, schreiben Sie uns bitte an hallo@tsubook.net. Wir wünschen Ihnen einen schönen Tag!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-10-12*

Thank you for creating this great app! As an acupuncture student it is incredibly helpful and easy to use

**Developer response:** Thank you cheettahgurl! We are pleased :)
