Pros and cons of Acupoints Ultimate 穴位 app for iPhone and iPad

Acupoints Ultimate 穴位 app good for

Does what it says, nut a couple of improvements are needed. It would be nice to be able to zoom out as well as in from the starting view. The initial view is bit too tight for my taste. Also, a very nice feature would be to allow tapping a point to bring up location and indication information, rather than having to use the search function exclusively. Finally, how about adding some pattern differentiation? It would be great to have sign & symptom listings for a number of patterns of disharmony, grouped by Organ, for instance. Oh, and one other thing. Put the traditional uses of the points in your information. For instance, Id like to see something about GB20 releasing External Wind. Thats not too much to ask for on a $10 app.
In medicine,this cupoints is very exactness, evey point could saw cleanly. This show that devoted a larege painstaking effort . i do appreciate your hardworking!!
i cant understand how some one say that this app cannot zoom in and zoom out, really stupid complain! every one know that zoom in and zoom out on iphone is the basic thing for apps! i do think that they just say something to asperse. even the first even the first version can zoom in and zoom out, let alone the version 3.2...
i really have benefitted a lot from it, no matter for my health or my medical knowledge. what i appreciate is that the developers are very responsive, and they have amended some points imformation HN Chonggu and HN Qianzheng. i do support it.

Some bad moments

This app is expensive and hard to use Tcm clinic aide us a much better design with herbs included for way less money. Acupoints ultimate is not worth the money.
I read the reviews of previous customers before making the purchase however am really disappointed. A waste of my 18 dollars. You cannot zoom in or zoom out, thus making it difficult to see the meridian all in one page. Also, there are some meridians (kidney meridian) that is not consistent with what I have been taught in my TCM classes which renders this application highly unusable for me. In fact, I will delete it since the meridians are not numbered the way I learned them. The search function is also not user friendly. I consulted a fellow colleague and they suggested Points. I should have asked him earlier prior to making this purchase.
Has lost zoom function - 2 fingers on screen now closes app, even tried re-downloading. Used to be a great app, please fix.
