Really fantastic. Just what I was looking for in every way. Thankyou so much. Definitely worth the price. Big happy face from me! ### 5/5 — Surprised *2011-08-13, version 1.0* I was surprised to get something of good quality well worth the money very in-depth ### 4/5 — It was good *2011-07-05, version 1.0* I thought this was well thought out and definitely worth the buy, however, it would be nice to have some more interactive features such as a moon calendar and pictures of herbs, stones, gods and goddesses. I also felt the 3-D characters were a bit much, and took away from the overall feel of the app ( but that's just me) great job guys, I would love to see some new updates! ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2011-06-23, version 1.0* It's worth the money for me as you can your own info in, but would love to see a community place put in where we could post to each other. ( I have this on other apps) Also to be able to add pictures as a description of an herb isn't always enough. I am mostly happy with what I purchased; it wasn't a waste. )0( ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2011-02-04, version 1.0* I love having this app on my ipod. It's easy to keep at hand, & it's not as obvious to use as my big wooden BOS! I can even read this while out in public.... Well worth the $ I spent to download this. :) It's also great that I can add my own spells & notes, makes it more user friendly. Most of the information contained in the download is correct too. ### 5/5 — Great app *2011-01-07* Really like this app. Great look, easy to use and love the sections on herbs and crystals. I really hope there will be updates though. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2010-12-30, version 1.0* Two things: First, can you make it so we can make the text a little larger? Between the small text size and the font, some of this information is extremely difficult to read. Secondly, some of the herbs I use aren't listed, and I have some uses for herbs you have not included. It would be great if we could add to the apothecary section. Fox these, and it's pretty much perfect. ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2010-12-08, version 0* Has some issues, some of the words get cut off, some of the incantations are a little messed up, and sometimes it just restates what's already been said. Other than that it has some great info, I would recommend it. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2010-12-02, version 0* I absolutely positively LOVE this app!! Im a practicing witch & the alchemy portion is EXTREMELY useful!! I would suggest this app 2 ne witch looking 4 a portable BOS!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not happy *2020-12-11, version 2.0.4* Purchased this app and it would pause and not let me back out of it. $1.99 gone. ### 1/5 — So disappointed!! *2020-10-05, version 2.0.4* This didn't help at all with crystals, essential oils, or herbs. No pictures to show what any of the herbs, or crystals, look like. Nothing about smudging your herbs or how to burn or hang or harvest. I want my 2$ back!! ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-06-16, version 2.0.4* When will you be making any up date. It has stopped working with the newest OS update. ### 1/5 — Won’t even load or let me access the app *2019-08-30, version 2.0.4* To think I paid for it and it freezes and stays on the “initializing spells” black screen. ### 1/5 — Please fix *2013-10-15, version 1.0* This is not working on my iPhone 4S idk why not ### 1/5 — Clunky and counterintuitive *2012-09-03, version 1.0* I wish I could get my money back... The format of this app is great in that it allows you to organise spells by category and neatly compiles the ingredients, method, description, and other important aspects of a spell into their own subcategories, but the interface leaves a LOT to be desired. It only has one orientation, portrait... Also mown as the worst typing position known to man. not only that, but it doesn't let you see what you're typing once the words extend below the onscreen keyboard, and it won't let you scroll down we the keyboard is onscreen, which makes NO sense to me at all... O_o So you're typing blind, until you hit "save" and go back into the tab you were typing in, only to find what you typed was riddled with errors, and have to go back, delete it all, and guess again... Four attempts to enter one spell description later, I gave up. It's clumsy, poorly engineered, and accuracy is nigh impossible. I wrestled with this app for an hour, trying to find enough redeeming qualities to make it worth my money, and finally just quit, with a tremendous "UGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! F*** it." so, developers, if you update this app, fix those problems. The are insurmountable to the user and render the app totally useless. Until you do, it's one star you'll get from this frustrated witch. ### 2/5 — Not Worth It *2010-11-04, version 0* I'm a practicing witch, and this is definitely not worth the four bucks. They need to add on a lot more info. Maybe worth two dollars, though. ### 3/5 — Not blind friendly! Surprise, surprise… *2021-06-21, version 2.0.4* 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. ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2020-10-13, version 2.0.4* 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. ### 3/5 — Not too bad :D *2011-07-25, version 1.0* The info in this app is very helpful, but the layout is difficult and going through all the tabs for one spell is a pain. Consider fixing this... And maybe lowering the price too? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wow this really is a wonderful tool *2020-07-18, version 2.0.4* Thank you for taking the time to make such an amazing app and resource. It’s done so beautifully as well. Really good job you guys. Thank you thank you thank you. Blessed be. ### 5/5 — So excited *2019-04-28, version 2.0.4* I’m a seasoned witch and honestly the asthetic drew me in and made me feel like someone actually got it right. Put in effort. ### 5/5 — Great!!! *2018-10-27, version 2.0.4* Very informative, would love to see more content added! Definitely one of the better reference apps!! ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2018-05-22, version 2.0.4* Definitely worth the $1.99 ### 5/5 — book of shadows *2018-02-21, version 2.0.4* I was wondering if there are plans to get this in the windows store? ### 5/5 — Great *2012-07-27, version 1.0* Its great it just needs a few more spells in it but other than that its very good lots of things i didn't know about till i got this app ### 5/5 — Pretty cool *2012-03-31, version 1.0* This app is a quick and easy guide for crystals, herbs, spell guides, definitions, etc. A bunch of great apps wrapped up in one, love it! ### 5/5 — Good but could be better *2012-01-31* I like the app but I wish that they would make an iPad version so that I can use it in landscape. So please get on this cause a lot of people could use this app ### 5/5 — Fantastic!!! *2012-01-29, version 1.0* I really love this app! It's very handy and has loads of info that is great for when outside! Great to write things down for later!Would really love an upgrade though please? Bright Blessings xXx ### 5/5 — Every Pagan, should have one!!! *2011-10-22, version 1.0* This little program is wonderful. Every pagan should have this. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
