Tcm Clinic Aid App Reviews

This is by far the most thorough and best app out there if you're looking for a pocket reference guide for all you covered in acupuncture school. Points, indications, contras, herbs and formulas (for CA or NCCAOM), tongue and pulse, it's all here. One especially great feature is if you want to see the ingredients in any formula you click on the herbs and it shows a pic and full information about that herb. Also, if you want to edit or add something in a field you have that option as well.

I started using the free version of this app during acupuncture school (‘09) and found it to be so helpful that I bought the paid version. It’s a great resource that I go to regularly. The updates keep improving the value of the app too. I did have an issue when I transferred from an Android platform to iPhone and the seller was quick to respond and walked me through the process. I highly recommend this app!

How can I adjust the font size.

I don't know how anyone could ever get through TCM school without this app. I use it daily to look up obscure points, double check myself, and now study for boards. It is worth way more than what they charge for it!

Look up points, RX, herbs, pharmacies

It is a wonderful app. It crashes after most recently update. Plz fix the problem and I'll change the rating.

This app has not been working for me for weeks. It starts loading the page then quickly goes back to my home screen in seconds. Very frustrating for a great app that used to work well for me. Anyone else?

Have had this app for about two years and it was great but since latest update it no longer works at all. It crashes immediately upon trying to open it and no way to get in touch with developers...

I too am having trouble opening the app after the update. I love this app & use it everyday in my practice. I hope this gets repaired quickly!

I had problems updating the IPod app, but got help from the developer by the next day, and it was easy with his help to get it up and running. All lost data was restored. The IPad app is well worth the money even if you have this version of the app. I rarely use this on my IPod anymore, because I definitely prefer the IPad version. No problems with the update for the IPad version. I have all of the TCM apps, and this and the Deadman app are the best apps for TCM. Deadman only is acupuncture, but TCM Clinic Aid includes single herbs, herbal formulas, diagnosis, and more. Definitely worth the money.

A superior replacement for a hundred pounds of books. I use this in my practice as my go-to reference, always in my pocket. Herbs within formulas are color-coded for temperature, which is hugely helpful. The in-app purchases are a bargain. My #1 app for making my life easier.

Crashing ALL the time. Please hurry!

I SPENT $10 ON THIS ONLY TO HAVE IT NOT TRANSFER TO MY IPOD!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT A REFUND NOW!!!!!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!! IT IS COMPLETELY DYSFUNCTIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED IN ANY APP I HAV EVER PURCHASED!!!!!! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!! IF YOU ARE GOING TO CHARGE SOMEONE FULL PRICE FOR A PRODUCT THEN YOU SHOULD PROVIDE A PRODUCT THAT WORKS!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE A HORRIBLE BUSINESS!!!

Compare to others AOM apps this very good for the price and they keep up with updates. I use this quit often in class and clinic.

As a TCM practitioner I find this app a fantastic reference while working in my clinic or needing a quick herbal reference. Highly recommended.

Crashed after the install on iphone 4, but started working after power cycling the phone. The application looks great so far.

It has everything

I just love this app so much that I bought this HD version and just use the regular version for my droid phone. I use this daily in my practice and only wish I had this during school. Why carry books when you can have this awesome app on your iPad! There is no other app for TCM out there that compares to this.

Not user friendly and you have to pay for add ons that are not very effective. Has more herbs than point combinations, not nearly worth the price.

Bought this app 3 mos ago and liked it so much i paid for it again when i got my new I Phone. Problem is that half the features that were included in the 1st version i am now supposed to pay extra for! Bad business!

I love this app for iphone, especially in clinic. But it is bitmappy and blurry on ipad, please please make an HD ipad version! thanks!

I don't know how anyone could ever get through TCM school without this app. I use it daily to look up obscure points, double check myself, and now study for boards. It is worth way more than what they charge for it!

Since I have updated to iOS5, this application shuts down very frequently when using it. Didn't they know that iOS5 was coming when they had an update in September? How come nothing has been done so far? One star till it becomes compatible with iOS5.

Not working anymore. Please fix it! Keypad is sideways, can't search and it is freezing. It's a great app, but only if you can use it. Be happy to change the review when you fix the app.

This app used to work now it is crashing upon opening. Update did not fix the problem.

This is a great mobile app but the updates or potential to buy them is long overdue. The herbs and formulas are unorganized, outdated, and more. I am willing to pay to have a major update especially how helpful and useful this took is while I am in school. Thank you

I'm an acupuncture student & I did this very useful. One problem I have is the search. Seems like I can't search the point without the pinyin input. If the search part of this app improves, 5/5 for sure ^_^

Loving the app. So useful for quick reference while I am studying! Happy to have it!

Crashing!!!!!!Can't open the app since update 24 hours ago. Who do I need to contact to fix this?

There is no better TCM app.

Mine crashed too and I haven't been able to open it for months.

Just graduated from TCM school, took CALE and Nationals and used this app nonstop throughout. It is very well organized, easy to search, comprehensive and frequently updated to address any problems. I love how it is easy to customize and ow you can choose to see only CALE or Nationals herbs/Rx. Seriously, I cannot recommend this app more highly for students and practitioners.

love the app but it has been crashing far too much since the most recent os5 update. please do something about this! is use this program daily in the clinic.

It is not perfect, but so far the best app for practicing acupuncturists and students as well. I use it all the time in my practice. Very helpful app. It is updated regularly and works fine with my iphone4.

I just wanted to say how much I love this app. It has such a wealth of information, and it is so accessible. I only wish I had an iPhone whine I was in school, and that I could have started using this app a to help me during my school years. Regardless, I find it very helpful as a practitioner, and have been recommending it to all my practitioner friends.

Best app I have ever seen and I will be convincing every fellow student to download, so you're welcome lol :)

Love this app, however it is crashing after the iOS 5 update. Please update ASAP. Thanks for your work.

After the last update I cannot open the App. I was using it without any problems but the last update made the App worthless. Please fix it soon. Sometimes I wonder about download the updates.

I have been using this app almost daily for years. Great reference with good search function too. Regular updates make this easily the best CM app out there. I've been practicing 8 years, and really appreciate the depth of info in TVM Clinic Aid

Perfect to study Chinese medicine herbs. Just wrote a long review but Apple automatically deleted it permanently without giving me the option to save it after telling me the user name was taken.

After new update the letters are so small can't even see. Otherwise the app itself is great.

Is this compatible with the iPad!!!

Text is black on dark gray background. It's hard to read the herbal information. Please update soon

Upon update it crashes!!!! Ugggghh!! I'm on 4.3.3

Best acupuncture app ever and cheap!!!

As a practitioner, I find this a great reference to use on the go and love the Q&A section!

This app has everything a student or practitioner could want. Good details on most points, patterns and disharmonies. Fantastic overall.

Are you a TCM student who doesn’t know what resources to invest in? Choose this! TCM Clinic Aid is indispensable. It’s FULL of information; it’s well-organized; it’s not a million dollars! I use this all the time. I used to check all the information in CAM, ACT and Deadman, but realized I didn’t need to keep doing that because the information is dead on. I had a question and emailed the tech support and they responded right away (pointing out nicely it was my error not theirs :) So this is all to say, if you are thinking about getting this app you probably should. Also, I added the quizzes recently and I LOVE them. It’s so helpful with remembering point location and herb indications. Having the quizzes at my disposal whenever also means I’m studying more.

App worked fine for viewing up until the update. Updated and now I can't do anything. The whole thing crashes and disappears immediately.

Had not worked since upgrade. They found problem and corrected. Very helpful!!

I have contacted the developer about organizing the order of organs in the treatment protocol section. Order of organs are in alphabetical order which confuses the user. Faster use would be better if the developer was more aware of the order of organs and relationships so that finding points is fast and easy. Several glitches, app does not alway respond. Over all app is a good tool. Developers listen to your customers!

Purchased the pulse add on app. Its ok, would be a lot better if one can enable the pulse images.

I love how it doesn't open anymore and I lost all the custom data I put into it.

I'm an acupuncture student in my third year, and this is by far the best reference I have used thus far. The layout, the pictures, and the functionality of this app makes it the best acupuncture reference for iOS. Well worth the money!! And if you have any issues, the devs get back to you right away!
