Not blind friendly! Surprise, surprise…

It doesn’t work with VoiceOver, so I almost literally purchased nothing. It’s fun if I want to know that it exists on my phone, but that’s about all it’s good for for me at this point. Please get on this.

Not happy

Purchased this app and it would pause and not let me back out of it. $1.99 gone.

It’s ok

I just started using the app but so far my only complaint is I wish they had as many herbs listed as they do the oil’s. Most of the herbs that I’m looking for are listed in the oil form but they don’t really give a lot of insight on the magical properties for them.

So disappointed!!

This didn't help at all with crystals, essential oils, or herbs. No pictures to show what any of the herbs, or crystals, look like. Nothing about smudging your herbs or how to burn or hang or harvest. I want my 2$ back!!
