Upset and inconvenienced

I had the original subscription which was a hefty price (don’t remember the exact price because I bought it last year) but since I enrolled in school I told my self that it was a worthy investment. I had access to all the systems. I’ve been off since March and now when I go back into the app I am only given access to the large intestine meridian. I just bought the standard edition for an additional $28 and I still only have access to the large intestine channel. Today is one of the few days I have off between school and work-I REALLY WANTED TO CATCH UP on some of my school stuff and I guess now I can’t. P.s. the app is asking me to pay more to go pro but then why only have a standard subscription if you are only going to restrict a buyer to one organ system just like in the lite subscription?

Hi, we're very sorry to hear about your experience. This is a fault with the upgrade mechanism which unfortunately affects some customers, and we are building a new version to fix it. In the meantime, we help all users who contact us as soon as possible, usually within 24-48 hours, so your message must have gone to the wrong place or somehow not turned up.

Upgrade through web instead of iPad

I tried to upgrade several times through iPad and it never worked even though I was charged. Then I tried it on MOA’s website and it worked! So pay through the web and you’ll have full access on iPad immediately.

Amazing. Replaces (and goes beyond!) a 15lb, $120 book!

MOA has been my go to reference for acupuncture points since before there was an app, and I love that now, Peter Deadman’s classic is ON MY PHONE.

I just don’t understand how people nit pick with the interface (which has gotten better over the nine years in which I’ve had the app), but to each their own. And whatever they’re charging these days is peanuts compared to the price (and weight!) of the original time.

If you’re an acupuncture student or practicing Chinese medicine person, I highly recommend.
