## Review summary

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- Content organization and currency: some herbs/formulas are outdated or not well organized, and update cadence may be slow.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.
