The content in this app is fantastic! I love it! However, so many oils are not in it. I understand that companies come out with new products constantly. I’m not expecting every one to be on this app, but come on devs! At least update to include the newer EOs! I’ll happily give 5 ⭐ […]

First of all I would like to mention that this app didn’t plagiraze original content as some of YL distributors think, it is based on books, Reference guide of essential oils which was first released in 1996. Autors research is based mostly on Gary Youngs research and others experts, and if you own a book […]

Had to pay usd $11.99 for this as a Lifetime purchase … it used to be good, but now it’s not anymore. It’s wanting me to pay more money to keep the app on a cellphone I no longer have! I’ve not used the app for Years. I DO NOT WANT IT ANYMORE ! MAKE […]

This app worked well when I first got it, but in the last 6 months, oil suggestions have been disappearing (the topical, ingest or aromatic icon is still there). I reached out to the developer weeks ago and got no response. I am very disappointed in this app as I spent money on it and […]

Not worth the money I spent. 😨 Hello, I bought this app and I’m not sure WHY it’s NOT up to date on everything!? It’s missing several oils I use DAILY, also the information about the oils. It’s also missing up to date information. I should not have to pay for the app when it’s […]

I’ve used app for years because your one time payment of $6.99 regard how many times my phone upgraded. My phone literally died last Monday am, could not activate to turn on. Forced to get new phone… not able to sink my phone for data–forced to manually load each app. I have loved your app […]

While it is a helpful app overall, the newly redesigned version left out a lot of very helpful material therefore the app becomes a lot less useful for example in no longer list the chemical constituents of each oil and feels like it has a much shorter list of different ailments.

Like the other people who reviewed this app, the list of Oils is not loading properly. I’m using the Android version. If you look at the app’s 2nd screenshot (on google play) the oil names are not displaying. It only displays the AT superscript text on a coloured background.

When I first downloaded this app I loved it. So much information and so helpful but recently I updated my app and honestly do not like it at all anymore. On the combination oils it no longer tells which oils are in it and what each one is for. Needs to go back to the […]

I loved this app and recommended it to at least 20 people. I orginally purchased this app then got a new phone. It didn’t transfer so I had to purchase again. Now, they updated and I can’t get info. It asks if I want to report the problem and closes the app.. I have sent […]

I agree with the other reviews on the older version being so much better. A lot of info has been cut out and if I could go back I would in a heartbeat. I’m hesitant to recommend as well. It still has a lot of good info but to remove so much of the original […]

There’s a new version. Oh Yuk. No I don’t like it, It’s not as user friendly, everything is in bits and pieces. Click here, hit this button. close that hit the next button. Pretty doesn’t always cut it. Down graded from 5 to 3. Still I’ve seen some comment that this app was plagiarized. This […]

Easy to use for a quick reference to look up by oil, blend, & symptoms. Lots of great info for YL oils, with some recipes! They only charge you one time, not monthly, for the app. If you tap on the Arrrow that says “Show” in the Oil Blends it shows each oil in the […]

Its outdated and some of the ingredients are wrong. I checked young living and they don’t match their ingredients to what young living says is in it. Also when you type in animal scents after that you can’t see what your typing you have to play the guessing game as to which animals scents product […]

Application is good and very helpful. Just that some of it need to buy or pay a subscription. I just hope that it does not to be paid in monthly or yearly. I just hope you removed the yearly or monthly subscription if you already paid for it at first time you download and use […]

*The developer has reached out. The app has the blend ingredients listed…easier to use now. Thank you! I’m happy to recommend this app again. LOVED the older version of this app and recommended it to several friends who also purchased it. The old version was great! It told you what different oils were in the […]

I’ve just subscribed for a year to access the supplements/ personal care section but I was only able to view once. When I accessed the app again, these sections can’t be accessed again. – This happened still after the 2.0.2 update. The app asking me to subscribe again even though I already have an active […]

I previously rated this 5 star and have been using it happily for a few years – now it gets 2 stars. This latest update is horrible! I used to be able to look up an oil, like T-Away, find out what oils made up the blend, and what each individual oil brought to the […]

This version is fluffy. Hardly any educational content. Old Version – amazing Updated Version – horrendous I feel as though you have downgraded the class of the app. The bubbled oils are annoying. The centering is hard on the eye to adjust to. I feel as though you took away a TON of info that […]

The app itself is excellent. It’s easy to use and navigate to find what you need. The app also allows screenshots. I use it frequently so I dont have to carry around my big, heavy reference guide. My only complaint is that each time I buy a new phone, I have to re-purchase this app. […]
