Pros and cons of Meridian3D app for iPhone and iPad

Meridian3D app good for

Would be a good thing , so far ... But : Please adjust the wrong leftsided SI Points ... .... they are changed and disordered !!! - (...in comparison to the right side,which are correct) !!! And many other little inconveniences and bugs : (( Please update and correct , it was not a very cheap APP !!! Thank you Dont let die your baby ! It coul be a very nice program!! ; )
For quick reference this is exactly what Ive been looking for. This is as close as you will get w/o the doll. You wont be disappointed. Only thing is I wish hed list it under both meridian & acupuncture if hes going to call it that instead of just acupuncture--makes it hard to find.
Once I figured out how to work it , it was Awesome Help menu at the very beginning so its a-lot better +. Info on SI10 SI14 points need switched
This is a great app that enables you to see all of the primary meridians three dimensionally which is unique to this app. Only drawback is that not all of the points are in their accurate location.

Some bad moments

I was very pleased with the app, but unfortunately there seems to be no support for the app, as the feature where you can touch the points and you get the information about the point does not work anymore. There is also no possibility to get in touch with the developer. I use iPhone 4 with iOS 6.
I purchased this app earlier this year and loved it. Very easy to use and accelerated my learning curve. However, since I upgraded the iOS on my iPhone 4S, this app has not been working at all. More specifically, touching a point on the mannequin does not work like before. Ive deleted the app and did a clean reinstall, twice, to no avail. Its unfortunate. Will be looking for another acupuncture app.
This app should be free. Very lame graphics! I wish I never purchased. Dont waste your time you will be sorry.
Yes, unfortunately I own this app. Its just Not worth the money! Doesnt even deserve the one star Im being forced to rate this. Oh well! So I just flushed $16 down the ...No big deal right? Spend your money elsewhere, youll be sorry if you dont.
This app could be 100% better. Since update, touch to teach feature where you touch the dot an the description appears does not work. Contacting the developer is impossible. No email or support group to suggest change. I do find this app useful in locating points however it doesnt work well when I have to use move from the main screen to find a point in the bookmarks.
I spent the money hoping to get a good study tool but instead I get a less than satisfactory product. The most important feature, the tap to indicate point does not work. I find myself flipping through menus more than trying to memorize and identify points. Its really irritating and there is no way to contact the manufacturer to fix it! If they fixed this than I would say its worth the money but right now its all just a bunch of colored dots on a model.
