Visual Acupuncture 3D 12+

Pretty robust app, but not being updated

Very helpful app with a robust set of features to enable different views depending on the context the user wants, like if you want the skeletal, organ, and/or muscle view of where a point/channel/channel lies. And from those views you can tap on different points, channels, and parts of the anatomy, and it will actually give additional information based on what jive selected, so it ends up being both a decent anatomy app as well as a really nice acupuncture reference.

My most often used feature is to tap the binoculars icon in the upper right to quick jump to a part of the body and all its associated channels and points. Super quick and convenient way to orient and search for areas of interest.

Just overall a very cool and functional app, just wish they were continuing to update and maybe even add a female body as other users have noted.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your feedback!
Yes, there hasn’t been an update in some time, but this app will continue to be updated and supported into the future.
It might take some time for the next update, but more updates will come.

excellent

I have a half dozen apps for studying acupuncture points and this is one of the best. Lots of info on the names of the points, including alternate names, tone marks for the Chinese, and several lamguages. Excellent, precise descriptions for point locations, often with two or more ways of locating a point, plus clear tips. (Many points on the head use the “anterior hair line” as a reference point to measure from, and I have been at a loss for those because of hair loss. Until I finally found in these descriptions an easy way to locate the position of the hairline, much appreciated.) Good search function. My only small gripe is that if I’m going back and forth with another app on my tablet (such as an ebook on my kindle app), it takes several seconds to load each time I go back to this one.

WOW!!! Simply amazing.

This app is SIMPLY AMAZING, and so helpful. I am always looking for ways to make studying Chinese medicine more interactive and fun, and this app is exactly what I was looking for (as far as studying acu-points is concerned). It’s so interactive, and so much fun to use! I always say that someone should turn studying Chinese medicine into a video game. That would be so useful, to make studying so much more memorable and enjoyable. This is an excellent step in that direction. I wish I had this when I was in acupucture school! Imagine how useful that would have been. Thank you, app creator!
