Judgment

The various aspects of this software are rated as Poor/Average/Good/Very Good/ Excellent

1. Repertorization - Excellent. Very Powerful, Feature Rich, and Easy to Use.

Suggestion - More modern repertories would be a welcome addition.

4. Design & Ease of Use - Excellent. Probably the BEST!

5. Navigation - Excellent

6. Additional Utilities - Very Good. The best package!

Verdict

Hompath Classic 8 is an excellent software. It is among the best and most innovative homeopathy software available. It is very feature rich. Qualitatively and quantitatively it is very much complete. The only issue was with modern repertories and books. The ease of use makes it the best homeopathy software. The add-on utilities are an excellent resource of information and help. No other software provides such amount of information and tools bundled with the main software. The software not only helps in clinical practice but it also teaches a lot. It is the most user-friendly software available and is helpful not just for the ripened homeopaths but also for beginners, students and researchers. We think nobody is going to regret buying such a software.

Final Verdict

Most user-friendly, feature rich, easy to use, powerful and value-for-money homeopathy software!
