### 5/5 — Helpful app

*2024-07-18*

This is a GREAT app! I’ve never tried using my body symptoms to figure out what type of cannabis my body needs. This app takes a scientific approach and it really works.

### 5/5 — This is exactly what I needed

*2024-07-08*

So tired of spending hours browsing strains online and not knowing what to get. And the effects they promise in descriptions are not really reproducible in my body (you go for creativity but get paranoia instead, you want a little relaxation but then feel tired all day next day and so on), so it always feels like making a random guess, and I’m glad this app at least makes some system out of this chaos. As someone who practices yoga and takes herbs I’m willing to put my trust on the Chinese medicine approach that its based on - and I got much better match than from any other pot quiz I tried!

### 5/5 — Dillon

*2024-05-19*

I’m always lost in our selections of the green stores in Colorado on what do I like to get?It makes sense to get some bodily inputs vs questions clerk asks how you want to feel today;)…I found this app and I felt like I’m with my acupuncturist at a medical appointment! Only Easter&herbalists know the tongue as an indicator of health. Western medicine still underestimates the value of herbal medicinal magic. I sound like a well educated buyer now
