## Description

Tsubook is a comprehensive mobile application designed for practitioners and students of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture, shiatsu, kinesiology, tuina, and related fields. It serves as both an instant reference book and a practical toolbox, providing detailed information on meridians, acupuncture points, and diagnosis areas, all accessible in a convenient 3D human body model.

The app offers a free version featuring 14 TCM meridians, Masunaga's meridians, and the 361 main acupuncture points with easy-to-locate 3D views and descriptions. Users can upgrade to the paid subscription for advanced content including bones, muscles, organs, extraordinary vessels, over 600 therapeutic indications, and detailed point categories with multilingual names and traditional Chinese properties. Endorsed by leading shiatsu and acupuncture organizations worldwide, Tsubook supports practitioners in enhancing their understanding and application of TCM techniques.

## Review summary

Users praise Tsubook for its helpful learning tools, especially the 3D map and comprehensive meridian/point content, ease of use, and strong value for study. However, many notes focus on licensing: much content is locked behind a paid license, with some frustration over unclear terms and missing points. It’s a solid TCM reference when upgrading, but the free version and access model can be a drawback for some.

- 3D map/visualization of points and meridians
- Easy to use and intuitive; strong study/reference tool
- Detailed explanations about points and channels for learning
- Affordable with useful free content; license upgrade adds full access/value

### Cons

- Free version content is limited and much is behind a paid license, causing frustration
- Incomplete coverage: missing extra acupuncture points
- Some users find explanations hard to understand or not fully intuitive
- Licensing/ownership concerns; unclear license terms and authorship
