Pros and cons of TCM Clinic Aid app for iPhone and iPad
TCM Clinic Aid app good for
Nearly perfect, easy to use, exp. for experienced practioners in Chinese Med, buy it
It is a new app and I did a fast look. Seems great... I tried to search for symptoms and diseases had in mind to compare it with my pc softwares.
I am satisfied with the info and the interface. I am a medical doctor and acupuncturist. My suggestion is to add point images ASAP.
Also like what i can see now,keep the bridge of modern medicine and tcm by letting people search for what they want from both ends. Good job so far. I will update my review if anything comes up.
Update: new patch for OS 3 works perfectly. No crashes.
Update: pictures are great. Cant wait to see the rest.
Detailed with search functions. Pictures of ear and herbs. Illustrations for body points. Overall good value for practitioners.
Ive been using this app daily to look up symptoms, herbs/formuals and points! Great search function and has shu points clearly listed. Diagrams are easy to find and points are similar to Peter Deadmans. Great app and daily necessity!
Love it. Use it every day. It is like many reference books in a single app.
This is simply the best, most useful TCM educational and practical app available and given the modest price of $10, you cant go wrong with this one! I recommend it to everyone interested in learning about TCM. The creator of this app is just brilliant!!! I also recommend getting the Quiz module from this app.
Some bad moments
This app used to have have both the CAM and deleted Deadman Acu-point location references. The latest update deleted the Deadman. They dont tell you this. Deadman locations are what is required for the National board exam.
It says it is, but its iPhone sized. If you enlarge it, it is terrible and bitmappy. I feel really cheated.
Purchased the pulse add on app. Its ok, would be a lot better if one can enable the pulse images.
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!!!
Since I have updated to iOS5, this application shuts down very frequently when using it. Didnt 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.
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!
Usually TCM Clinic Aid iOS app used & searched for
tcm app,
tcm,
and other. So, download free TCM Clinic Aid .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
