I recommend it to every single friend I have to keep track of their crystals and their meanings. ### 5/5 — Awesome information *2025-09-18, version 2.0.12* Lots of important information all in one place. Easy to use and the games are fun. ### 5/5 — Good *2025-08-05, version 2.0.12* This app is good if you know what the crystal is, but if you don’t know what the crystal is, it can be kind of confusing because it doesn’t have a scanner that tells you what the crystal is so you’re gonna have to do your own research ### 5/5 — Highly recommend!! *2025-07-30, version 2.0.12* Without this app, I’d be lost! A crystal lover’s amazing tool. ### 4/5 — Great app *2025-07-28, version 2.0.12* Lots of space for information. I just wish there was a way to upload multiple pictures of the same type of stone. For instance, I have multiple pieces of malachite. I’d love to put them all in the catalog. ### 5/5 — My favorite app *2025-06-04, version 2.0.12* I <3 crystals ### 4/5 — A few tweaks would make this perfect *2025-04-19, version 2.0.12* I’m a little concerned that it hasn’t been updated in a year. Is it abandoned? Anyway, it’s a good app that does mostly what I need, but there’s a few changes that would really make it perfect. First and foremost, not a fan of how the in-app camera tanks the image quality. It makes images much darker, and details are lost. Also, multiple photos should be an option. Second, there needs to be more choices for colors, including “grey” and “transparent,” both very common stone colors. And instead of “rainbow” there should just be the ability to select multiple colors. Some UI tweaks are in order. For example, the “close” button shouldn’t be in the middle - that’s just not a thing. Another one is typing in names of stones and such when creating a collection - text should appear directly in the intended location, not in a separate box at the top of the keyboard. If I add a stone to my collection, it should automatically check it off as “got” in the A-Z list. There needs to be more sort options and search results should include stone attributes so a person can look up “love” or “prosperity” or whatever they’re seeking. Finally, there needs to be a way to export one’s entire collection - preferably including photos!! - as a spreadsheet. ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2025-04-18, version 2.0.12* I’m a crystal collector and crystal healing practitioner and this app helps me so much! I’m able to have an easy to reference list of all my crystals- there isn’t a single one I’ve come across that I can’t find in the library. The healing information on each crystal is well written and organized well. This is an excellent companion for any crystal collector or enthusiast!! ### 5/5 — Excellent resource! *2025-04-09, version 2.0.12* I’ve only had this app a short time but it looks very good to me. I’m not sure if I need the extra features in the paid version but what I have seen so far seems so good that I might upgrade just to reward the good work by the developers. A note to all developers. I look carefully at the privacy section of each app I’m looking to get and if I see a bunch of tracking and overuse of my personal data that’s enough for me to avoid that app. This app has the gold standard “Data not collected”. It’s getting so that I hardly ever download a new app that does not say “Data not collected”. ### 5/5 — Highly Resourceful and Informative! *2025-03-15, version 2.0.12* I love this app because it gives me the information. I need to understand how crystals work on a scientific and spiritual level. This app offers more than enough information to ensure the safety and security of each crystal Function in what it can bring when you meditate on it. This is the best app to use when you really wanna know how crystals work. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2025-03-15, version 2.0.12* I am impressed with all the information it contains, and I really enjoy that I can catalog my own collection within it, with each entry linked to the info about the stone. It’s really fun and easy to use. ### 5/5 — My go to Crystals app *2025-02-17, version 2.0.12* This app is awesome! It’s my go to crystals app at home and on the go for basic geological and metaphysical properties and information! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Very good resource for crystal lovers *2025-02-08, version 2.0.12* I work in a crystal shop and am always recommending this app! I recently had someone come back and rave about how much they like using this app and how much they appreciated the ability to keep track of the crystals they buy! ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2024-11-10, version 2.0.12* Ive had it for years and its such a help with my craft. Any questions I have with crystals are always answered in this cute little app. Its showed me some wonderful crystals to add to my collection. Will never stop added to collection tysm for such a useful tool!!!😁 ### 5/5 — I would recommend! (Not paid for or anything lol) *2024-11-08, version 2.0.12* I’ve only had this app for two days and I can see that it is MUCH more useful than the app I previously had! (Crystalyze) it has 512 CRYSTALS… holy shat… I cannot believe how I didn’t get this app before! Here’s a list of the awesomeness u can acquire by downloading this! 1: it goes into a lot of detail about each Crystal and gemstone, and you can easily find that info bc it’s labeled! 2: the search is super helpful! The only fault with it is that (for example) I would tap on ‘past life’ and only one Crystal shows up. Then I’m looking at other crystals and some have ‘past life’… ): even though there is a bunch of stuff locked, all the stuff I was looking for is free! And if I ever want to unlock everything else, it’s a one time purchase of only $7!!! HOW SLAY IS THAT? this app is perfect for beginners and masters alike that want to ✨ cristal-ly heal ✨- is that a term? Well it’s a term now. Well to sum it up it’s a great app for people looking for a free crystal app with basic *and more detailed* info about crystals, not to mention beautiful art *and pictures* as well as the other names used! Hope this helped anyone wanting to get this. -WilloDaWolf ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very very limited in functionality. *2025-06-27, version 2.0.12* No black onyx. Honestly after that I messed around a little and tried to add my collection. Maybe an ID 10 T error on my part? If so, then disregard the rating. Couldn’t figure it out and deleted after I paid for it. ### 2/5 — Disappointed!! *2026-03-12, version 2.1.4* After downloading the app and looking around to see offers, I was unable to close it!! Had to shut my phone down and restart to get the app to close. Also, some things are not available without paying, which I get, but I didn’t see where that was noted anywhere. It would have been nicer to know which items were free and which ones required upgrade. ### 2/5 — Too many bugs *2025-12-17, version 2.0.12* This used to be a decent app until now. My entire collection of hundreds of stones is now deleted. Also the app freezes CONSTANTLY. I’d rather pay for something reliable. ### 2/5 — Difficult to use *2025-03-19, version 2.0.12* The layout of this when using filters to find the suggested stones is hard to navigate. I tried to filter and app says there are 11 matches. When I tried to click to find those matches there were no options. Should this buggy issue be corrected, I would reinstall and pay the premium at that time. I could also suggest a diety section. This area is dedicated to which diety are associated with which crystal. Thank you for developing this for us! I know critical feedback isn’t always ideal, but it does help with development of the app. ### 2/5 — I don’t know anymore *2023-09-15, version 2.0.12* Updated: I’ve just updated to the paid version of this app only so that I can create my collection of all crystals that I’ve acquired so far. To my disappointment, I was only able to add 10 crystals to the collection, which is only a very small part of the gemstones I own. Apparently, you can create groups of only 10 crystals each. My problem is, I could create “letter” tags, so I can organize my crystals in alphabetical order, but I have more than 10 crystals of some of the letters, so this isn’t going to work. I only need to add all my crystals and gemstones in alphabetical order to my collection in one single group. I’m asking too much for $7? I should’ve read the app description before I paid, but I didn’t even think that there could be a limitation to the number of crystals you can add. I don’t think I can get my money back. Oh, well! Original: I’ve recently gotten into crystals as my new hobby and was trying to find an app to gather some information on gemstones, so I ran into this app, which I’m using everyday, and came to realize it’s the best of all I’ve tried. It has all information I needed, plus some more…and it’s free! I’m not even asking the ability to identify crystals to be added, which may add a subscription to the app😁…..I’m just happy and grateful the way it is. ### 2/5 — Could be better *2023-03-20, version 0.2.3* I’m giving this app 2 stars because it would be a lot easier if I could just take a picture of my crystal or gemstone and have the information I need quicker rather than having to scroll and look for the exact picture ### 3/5 — Confused and frustrated *2025-01-11, version 2.0.12* Why is there no titanium quartz? It’s extremely abundant. I just paid 7 dollars for this app and you said you can unlock more if you pay extra. How can you be missing this gem? ### 3/5 — Shirley *2023-04-19, version 0.2.3* I use your app for many rocks I can’t remember and many times your response is wrong. That upsets me. ### 3/5 — I love this app! *2023-03-05, version 0.2.3* All in all, so live this app. I just wish there were a way to filter by all the metaphysical tags they use. Element, numerology, planetary association and a couple others I believe are listed but not used as tags which would be very helpful for some of what I do. ### 3/5 — Best app for crystals *2021-01-15* Only 2 things this app is lacking. I really wish you could see the ones you have checked off as owning and the ones you have wish listed directly from the list view rather than having to click on the profile. Or be able to see the lists of each separately. I also really wish you could upload a photo of your own specimen to keep cataloged under the profile. If there is any way to make that happen there would be plenty of happy people out there! Would also be nice to be able to suggest ones not on the list directly from the app or create your own additions. having real photos would be cool too. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A great app 🙏🏼🤩✨ *2026-08-31, version 2.1.4* This app is really enjoyable and intuitive. The only downside for me is it’s not optimised for text to talk. A very useful accessibility tool. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2026-08-30, version 2.1.4* This is a well established and wide range interactive app. It gives in-depth and visual information on a wide variety of crystals and minerals. There is a moon cycle tracker and quizzes. It’s fun, informative and free. Best app out there and not ripping anyone off with astronomical prices. ### 5/5 — Love this app!!! *2026-08-25, version 2.1.4* Honestly, I'd be lost without this app. As a crystal enthusiast, I cannot remember the benefits of each and every crystal. This app is precise and informative. Couldn't ask for more ### 5/5 — Good app, good info, minimal pressure to pay *2026-06-24, version 2.1.4* Basically what the title says. It’s a useful app that works well. It doesn’t use infuriating pop up ads to pressure you into paying for the premium version like most apps do. It is easy to navigate, it has good info, and I like its simple aesthetic. It is not visually loud or overstimulating. Just a functional little app. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-04-23, version 2.1.4* I love this app. It is so easy to use. I can keep track of all my crystals, correspondences are all at my fingertips and customer service is above and beyond. They even responded to my concerns while away on vacation which was a wonderful surprise and so appreciated. I can’t recommend it enough. So grateful. ### 5/5 — Best Organization *2026-01-14, version 2.1.3* This app is everything I’ve been looking for! WELL WORTH a one time payment for all the features! I can safely say this is my favourite app! I’ve learned so much! I love being able to have all my crystals in a collection! And the random buttons are so fun! ### 5/5 — Best Crystal App *2025-11-08, version 2.0.12* This is the best crystal app! Have tried a ton, and I didn’t find what I needed. This one has a quick reference guide to the geological and healing info that I have as seeking! ### 5/5 — Very useful *2025-11-07, version 2.0.12* I can find any crystal and learn their metaphysical and normal properties. I can click the checkmark if I have it and a heart if I want it. I'm gonna go broke! It also has a very good sorting and filter guide I use all the time! ### 5/5 — Great App for. Newbie *2025-10-26, version 2.0.12* This is the best app I’ve found so far to help me learn about crystals in a quick, easily accessible way. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App! *2025-10-11, version 2.0.12* I love this app for organizing and keeping track of my stone and crystal collection! So many great features and well worth the very reasonable price to upgrade so that I could add my own photos.
