User Reviews

Reviews praise the app as a comprehensive, portable reference for TCM with strong study tools and value, but cite update-related instability, readability and organization issues, Tung point naming without numbers, and some cost concerns.
Pros
  • Extremely comprehensive reference covering herbs, formulas, acupuncture points, diagnostics, tongue and pulse, and more, making it a robust pocket resource.
  • Excellent for on-the-go use and practice; quick, organized lookups across points, herbs, formulations, and pharmacies.
  • Quizzes and Q&A features provide a valuable study tool to reinforce learning and exam prep.
  • Good value for money; packed with content and useful features at a price lower than many textbooks.
  • Responsive support and ongoing updates help keep the app relevant for students and practitioners.
Cons
  • Update-related instability: crashes, the app failing to open, or freezing after updates.
  • Readability and UI issues after updates: small fonts and poor contrast can make herbal information hard to read.
  • Content organization and currency: some herbs/formulas are outdated or not well organized, and update cadence may be slow.
  • Master Tung points are listed only by English/Chinese names rather than by numbers, slowing point location.
  • In-app add-ons can feel pricey or not very useful, making the overall cost feel less favorable for some users.

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. 👍🏼

I used this app on Android and was much more helpful and accessible. I don’t know if the app change on IPhone, I don’t have access to quizzes and Master Tung points.

I purchased this app with the hopes that it would be a great quick reference for Master Tung’s points and I was actually surprised at how robust this app is. It really is a must for any acupuncturist as it is one of the best reference sources that I have seen. There is so much to remember and having quick access to so much is convenient and greatly appreciated. The only gripe I have is the Master Tung points are only listed by either their English or Chinese name and not by the numbers, which I wish was an option and hope it will be in the future as it will make it faster to locate the point I am in need of. Overall though this app is well worth the $25 I spent (purchased the Tung points options and Tongue Dx)!
