Great resource

This is a great tool to have in class. I have the app on my phone and my tablet. I used this more than I used the actual book itself. It was very quick to the point. Few things I would like to see improved: more tests on functions of points in the mobile app in addition to location. I wish the app had a read out loud feature. Maybe work with apple to allow Siri to read the words on the pages? Over great app and very useful for points location.
Must for every student

This app is a must for every acupuncture student. Don’t know how I would have survived without it. The quizzes helped me review points for the boards... and I still use it daily in my clinical practice.
Best Acupuncture App

I’m a licensed acupuncturist- I use this app in my clinic a lot! I have shelves full of acupuncture books ( including this Manual of Acupuncture) but using the app is so much quicker. Having the videos for each point too is helpful at times. I recommend to any and all acupuncture students or professionals.
Need money back or the actual upgrade
Ejclovely
Just downloaded and upgraded this app and when I logged back on it did not give me the upgrade but still charged me $48.99!
Worst upgrade ever

Instead of fixing the issues from the previous broken version (paid in full), this version requires subscription before you can view any content in full!! The lite version you get grandfathered in is absolutely rubbish!! Is this how you reward paid customers? Or is this version just a cash cow to rake in more money?! -Update: review has been updated. The account transfer did not go through when i tried to log into to my existing acct. After contacting the support team, my access is now changed to: “standard”. For Pro level, you will need to sign up and pay a reduced upgrade fee.
Broken App

This app is asking me for an in app purchase option to update to a pro version for a $49? I thought this was sold at $25 for a complete version. The app worked perfectly fine for a couple days & is now blocking out all the text and readings, giving one what’s called a Lite version? Yes, let’s please get this corrected, it would be most agreeable.
Upgrade of the decade

I have owned A Manual of acupuncture app since the day it was launched, and I have used it weekly, if not daily, ever since. This app has been my go to Acupuncture app for my clinical practice and clinical research because of its ease-of-use and detailed description, and my favorite part are the videos which is second to none of any other apps out there for acupuncture. I understand their need to upgrade their app to stay current with the updates of technology. I don’t mind at all paying for the upgrade since I have received my moneys worth years ago. The upgrade is user-friendly, works great on my iPad Pro , As well as on my Samsung galaxy note 9 and they are syncing beautifully. The videos are clear & crisp and they even have a separate tab so you can go straight to them faster. You can add your own notes and the pro edition has a very thorough reference section along with videos of the channels and collaterals and so much more. It took a week for the glitches to get through but it was well worth the wait because of customer service staying on top of the issues. I suggest you upgrade to the pro version whether you are a student or doctor. This app is back to being number one Acupuncture app on Apple and Google play store. Well done MOA team and thanks for your support to our profession.
App is good but...

I have been trying to upgrade to pro for 2 days now and every time I put my fingerprint on the home button it looks like the payment went through but it then follows up with “your purchase could not be completed” however when I purchased an in app subscription to my local newspaper this morning I had no issues. Hope they get it working so I can buy the pro!
A timed upgrade.

I had a minor problem with getting the app started but with the MOA team's quick support, the problem was solved within minutes. Thank you MOA team! The videos are crisp and clear. Brilliant with online edition access. Good features and technology. I am satisfied and have used the previous app for many years. This is a development that is in time.
Won’t let me sign in

I was very excited to see there was an upgrade for this app. Did the registration in the old app, but the new app just freezes if I put in my credentials. Very disappointed that I can’t use this app.
