User Reviews for Bencao: Chinese Medicine Herbs

Worth the big bucks!

Actually I am just a consumer who wanted to know more about TCM in an easy to use format. I am so pleased to have this a reference when I go for my acu-treatment. I am not a student or practioner but I like to be well educated about my health and what's going into my body. I wish there was a place to document my treatments and how I felt while on specific herbs/formulas . Then it could provide me a more personalized health history of my own Tcm experiences. Simply more places to take notes really would make it even better! Love it and am learning just for personal enrichment everyday! Thx so much!!

Good app just needs tweaking to be great

This is perfect for info at your fingertips. Great clinical tool. Needs to be able to let the user add herbs and formulas to the app that are not in it. I use a lot of herbs and formulas not listed. Other apps allow that so should be here since this one costs the most. But very great tool. With the addition of what I said above this app would be excellent.

Amazing

I'm a second year student and stumbled across this application. This has been an amazing help. I've showed it to several other students and they are also impressed. I have already suggested that there be a way to add your own formulas like for Dui Yao and your own creations. They are working on it!!! Test questions would be great too.

Best just got better!!!

Best formula app out there by far!!! Well worth the money for students & acupuncturist, or for the layman who just wants to learn herbs!!! Better than carrying around a huge book and the best part is you can add your own notes and comments. My favorite app on my itouch!!! Will use it for years to come. Only one thing I would suggest to this already perfect app is have the chief herb highlighted or in red. That would help to study for state boards or Nationals. Awesome job on the colors and easy to use search data and the updates makes it even better than great!!

This is a must-have for any student or practitioner of TOM

A friend at school recently turned me on to this app. I'm so glad she did. It has really changed the way I study herbs. Now when I'm in class, and a teacher mentions a formula, I look it up right away on my iPhone. If there are herbs in the formula that I'm a bit rusty on, I click on those to go right to a screen with info about each single herb. I can even add notes to both single herbs and formulas. Another useful feature is the ability to highlight which formulas are on the CA State Board exam. This will be very helpful for studying purposes. My only complaint is that it's not yet possible to filter/sort formulas based on whether they're on the State Boards, but I emailed the developer about this and he responded promptly and said this would be a feature added in a future version. Fantastic!

Handy App

This is a great boon to me as I am going overseas to volunteer in a health clinic and am glad to have reference material that fits in my pocket. It is so difficult to lug around a huge materia medica. However, it would be even more handy if there were a way to add herbs and formulas to the application. Everyone has some formulas and herbs that are not commonly used but handy to have for quick reference. Especially when away from one's library. It would make this app 5 stars for me.

Great app for Chinese Herbalists

I don't have to lug around a bunch of giant books anymore! Great app for students and herbalists.

Bencao disappeared off of my wife's new iPhone 7

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.

Needs iPad compatibility

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.

Functions flawlessly, but could use more frequent updates

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.
