When I bought this app I didn’t realize that it only works in the vertical screen orientation for iPad. This is extremely inconvenient, as a CCM student who uses my iPad as a small computer in the horizontal orientation. I was sincerely hoping to be able to use this app every day and type all my own notes in at the bottom. Please fix this, and then I will rate 5 stars.
My wife and I both have Bencao on our iPhone's for many years and we use it all of the time. We both just got iphone 7 and we restored them from our last backup of our 6S. My Bencao was on my new phone but it was not on my wife's iPhone. She went to the App Store and it was only for purchase but she already purchased it years ago. Can you please advise how to restore Bencao on her iPhone.
I don't have to lug around a bunch of giant books anymore! Great app for students and herbalists.
This is a fantastic app and I have used it regularly over the course of several years. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to keep up with updates for the new iOS systems. This app has never crashed on me and all of the hyperlinks function as they should. There is definitely a wealth of information within the app in a very concise manner, but there are very few (literally) holes that could be filled in.
Doesn't have anything that TCM Clinic Aid doesn't. Does NOT have a lot that TCM does: herb breakdown, modifications, Western usages, quizzes, etc. Bought this awhile back when had a $100 Apple card and have used it maybe a few times just briefly. The look is outdated and kinda clunky and ugly. Considering TCM covers acupuncture and is less than half the cost, there really is no reason to buy this now.
This is an amazing Chinese herbal application I use it on a daily basis and I find it incredibly helpful and well worth the money.
Easy to search, nice pinyin listing. Would LOVE to see more herbs and formulas but there is plenty there. A very good start.
I've had this app for several years now, and it's not worth the price. It really needs to be updated. It has potential and when I first got it, it was pretty good, but now... Don't bother unless they do a massive update.
This app was excellent when it first came out, but now it needs updating. There are quite a few typos and formatting issues. Too pricey.
I have purchased this app at the high price of $29.99. I few weeks later I found another app that was only $5.99 and that gave me far superior information on herbs materia medica with additions of numerous formula modifications pictures and western explanations, as well as TCM indications. In addition this $5.99 app. also contained points prescription indications, point locations, categories and pictures of meridians as welll as auricular points. For the price of $29.99 I expected a lot more than what the Ben Cao app. offers and I feel that it was a complete waste of my money to purchase this app. I now only use TCM Clinic Aid which is far superior, more comprehensive and cost effective. Do yourself a favor and don't get ripped off.
