Great App. A few tweaks would be helpful

Essential resource for any student of Chinese Medicine. I have found two major issues, which I hope the app developers would consider resolving in future updates:

1. Font size on the iPad app: the font is extremely small and there is no way to enlarge it. I do not use the iPad app as a result. Please address this issue.

2. It would be helpful if the Chinese names for the channels would be included, such as those for the Extraordinary Vessels, Governing Vessels, etc. Many teachers use the chinese names when referring to these channels, and without even a reference to these names in the MoA, it makes it difficult to navigate. The points all have english and Chinese, so it would make sense to have the same for the channels.

All in all, a fantastic resource.

Amazing. Replaces (and goes beyond!) a 15lb, $120 book!

MOA has been my go to reference for acupuncture points since before there was an app, and I love that now, Peter Deadman’s classic is ON MY PHONE.

I just don’t understand how people nit pick with the interface (which has gotten better over the nine years in which I’ve had the app), but to each their own. And whatever they’re charging these days is peanuts compared to the price (and weight!) of the original time.

If you’re an acupuncture student or practicing Chinese medicine person, I highly recommend.

The Standard tool for all TCM students

The app was amazing in helping me learn for acu points 1/2 and beyond. The testing helped me really get familiar with point location and the overall design and function of the app is amazing. Truly a must have resource for any student of TCM or even those that are just curious about the subject. Can’t thank you enough for making the book into this format!
