Essential Oils Reference Guide for Negative User Reviews

✓ Very little informationThis app has WAY too little information to charge this premium!! It would be acceptable if it was free but there is not enough info on ailments to compare with other essential oil apps.Cassholi0Version: 1.2

✓ Good information on oils, needs a reference for symptomsLive the detail of the oils. Would be my go to app for oils, if I could look up the use of oils by symptom..Rockford08Version: 1.2.1

✓ THIS APP HAS NO CONTENT!!!To say that I am disappointed is an understatement! The only page in this app is the cover page, which is set up to be the directory. When I tried to open the five different sections, the pages were nothing but blank lines. This app is a scam!.Loveit13Version: 1.1.1

✓ No longer usefulThis used to have an ailments page you could search by what you need it for. Now you have to read through every oil and blend and there is very little info now on what it’s good for. I deleted it..Cait24abeVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Exactly the same as Doterra oils app!A bit disappointing to see it is exactly the same as Doterra app although interface and content is portrayed to be different. You only realise this after buying. A tad sneaky, I think..DBTHKORDFGVersion: 1.2.1

✓ A little disappointedI like the information on this app but I guess I was under the misconception that it would have information on doTerra Essential oils. Like info on "Breath" or "On Guard". Or at least recommend quality Essential Oil products..Gma2Version: 1.1

✓ Not worth $Other apps for $2.99 $0.99 and FREE have the same or more info! Annoyed I purchased because “top rated”. Pinterest has a lot more info & easier to find! Ridiculous..JawbajonesVersion: 1.2

✓ DisappointedI paid money for this app based on the reviews. It lists oils to use for ailments, then it gives you a few recipes. The problem is, there are always multiple oils in each recipe that are not listed. So, after painstakingly collecting the 6 or 7 oils listed over several months because, let's be honest, oils are not cheap, only to find that you don't have all the ingredients after all, and you even have some that are on the list, but not in any of the recipes. I haven't read one yet that this doesn't apply to. Don't waste your money on this app, unless things like that don't bother you, or you have plenty of money to waste..KPittman7258Version: 1.1.1

✓ Inconsistent search facilitySearches - if there is no exact there is no "not found" message or any indication if the search is actually working. Also searches are hit and miss. Type in "dry" nothing happens. Type "dry skin" and it shows Dry Skin. Type "burn" and it shows many ailments not specific to a burn but likely have the word "burn" in the discussion. Inconsistent..XxxnonickVersion: 1.2

✓ Save your cashPretty good an comprehensive app but not really what I need. Not intuitive search..113356765432Version: 1.2

✓ Just the basicsIt does give a detailed description of many essential oils. But, that is something that can be found quickly on the internet. There are also many ailments included, but only a few essential oils that can treat them and only 1 recipe per ailment per type of application. Often the recipes include essential oils that aren’t listed as treatment oils. Another thing that would be so helpful would be to have specific classifications, such as: calming, energy, antibacterial, antiseptic,...and then a list of essential oils with that property. Overall I am greatly disappointed..LethajoyceVersion: 1.2

✓ Doesn't even openI guess I just wasted 9.99 as this app won't even open.SplashywhaleVersion: 1.0

✓ Does not LoadThe oils tab loads but the uses, blends and extras does not populate with anything.FirebladegriffVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Oils app reviewThis app doesn’t have near enough ailment treatments in that section. It’s not the app I thought I was getting. I’d like to get my money back. Belinda.BelkjVersion: 1.2

✓ Not updatedThe app is not updated when new oils come on the market with Doterra. Getting irrelevant.ValalthoffVersion: 1.2.1

✓ AppalledI cannot believe the poor and dangerous advise this app gives with a complete disregard for standard safety with EOs! I was looking for an app to obtain quick info on EOs when away from quality book access and this is not the app for that! Nothing in the description states that this is a DoTerra app. Completely misleading!.ToriM73078Version: 1.1.1

✓ RefundWhere can I ask for a refund! I did not use this app.Janetr22Version: 1.2

✓ What the actual F***So I’m not sure where the great rating and 1K reviews come from, because this app is HORRIBLE!!!!! I literally thought I’d downloaded the wrong app because this app does not fit it’s description AT ALL. literally be a better use of money by burning it for it’s therapeutic qualities than using this app.Kimmy ;)Version: 1.2.1

✓ Not worth the moneyI purchased this app because I really, really want a good app both to use as a reference guide for essential oils as well as to have a way to keep track of my own oil collection. I chose this one based on the number of positive reviews and the fact that it didn’t appear to be owned by a single EO brand that was looking to sell their own products. Now that I have paid for it and downloaded it, I see that it was not worth the price. It does not include many oils which I myself own or am interested in and it does not have an option to add oils. There are very few blend recommendations and the search options are clumsy to use and require you to wade through the entire oil descriptions. The point of an app is easier ability to get straight to what I am looking for but if I have to dig this much I might as well just be on a free website. There is very little included in the app that isn’t basic information available on any EO website or reference book. The way the app tries to force you to send them emails is also annoying. The app developers claim that they are aspiring to be the best EO reference out there and perhaps they could achieve their goal if they continue to build the oil database and improve the search features but for now it is not worth the price..JenniePennyPiccoloVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Unsafe usage recommendationsThis app has some helpful basic information on individual essential oils, but the usage recommendations are unsafe. For example, milk will not properly dilute essential oils in the bath, nor is it safe to add lemon oil to your water as water does not dissolve oils. Therapeutic room sprays- especially if you will also be spraying yourself- should be made using a proper solvent (such as 100 proof or greater alcohol or polysorbate 80) and a preservative to avoid growth of bacteria or mild. This app perpetuates so much of the unsafe usage recommendations that are readily available through Pinterest and MLMs. I consider myself fairly well educated in this area as I am an aromatherapy student and I have studied many reputable Aromatherapy textbooks including Tisserand & Young’s Safety book..KatPossibleVersion: 1.2

✓ So convenient, use it dailyIt would be great to have different options for titles other than Recipe 1, 2 etc. You have to read every recipe before you know if it is topical, inhaled, or consumed etc. More detail on the uses of the essential oil would also be great. It lists the oils that are good for the ailment, yet the recipes use several oils that are not listed! On the list of oils, it would be great if the most common or retail accessible one could be noted somehow..DJB3SVersion: 1.1

✓ DoTerra appI love the use of the app, but disappointed at some questionable advice. There is really no regulation regarding essential oils, nor an independent body that certifies the quality of oils. When I tried to reach support, it said Support: Subject: doTerra oils - Support. For me, an indicator that the person behind the app works for doTerra, even if only as an independent sales rep. Feeling cheated, because in a review she stated that this is not a DoTerra app. Only three stars for that..SudsySoapsKVersion: 1.2
