User Reviews

Users widely praise Eastland Herb as a portable, comprehensive reference for Chinese herbal medicine with fast search, clear explanations, and clinical value. Many rely on it daily, appreciate cross‑device access, and view it as cost-effective compared with physical books. Common criticisms focus on missing annotation features (highlighting, notes, and favorites), price/value concerns, and limited reading controls (font size and copying/annotation options). Overall, it’s highly valued for study and practice but would benefit from improved interactivity.

Pros

Portable, comprehensive two-volume reference (Materia Medica and Formulas & Strategies) in one app, replacing heavy books.
Fast, powerful search and easy-to-use navigation for quick lookups.
Clinically useful and well-structured, with clear explanations; aligns with Bensky knowledge; great for study and practice.
Cross-device portability—use on iPhone and iPad, even simultaneously for reference.
Strong value for money; cost-effective compared with buying the physical books.

Cons

Lack of annotation tools (no highlighting, notes, bookmarks, or favorites) despite frequent requests.
High price and mixed views on value; several reviewers feel it's too expensive or not worth it.
Reading/interaction limitations (no font size adjustment; inability to copy text or easily annotate).

Recent reviews

I love the ease of this app, and overall think it is fantastic and feel very grateful to have this resource. I do wish that it would show which category any given herb or formula is in once you are in the entry, just as you can see the header telling you which section an herb is in when reading the material médica. I also wish that it would save your recent searches into your search history so you could easily reengage with what you were just looking at. Adding these two feature would make this app pretty much perfect. As it stands it is great, but it is a little tedious to use as a study tool because of the lack of those features.
