The back button blends in with the background and it takes a minute to find. You can’t read the responses to questions because apparently the font color is white. I do like being able to keep inventory and write my own notes. I expected more (maybe a video) for the different application areas and types. Definitely not worth the $7. There should at least be a free trial. If I could get a refund, I would want it because I highly doubt that I will use it. ### 3/5 — Won’t even let me make an account *2020-09-30* Hi developers please assist. I just purchased this app & it won’t let me sign up. It says internal error (500) Thank you for your support ### 2/5 — More options *2020-09-01, version 1.3* Shut have more mix options for essential oils.. ### 2/5 — Needs to be updated *2020-08-17, version 1.3* Needs to be updated ### 4/5 — Nice app... but not Dark Mode compatible *2020-08-17* Needs to be updated for iOS dark mode. Can’t see some of the navigation buttons. Text in Community is invisible. ### 3/5 — Subpar *2020-06-23* It’s alright but it doesn’t have all the doTERRA oils on it. Spend the money and get the Essential Life app, it’s honestly not even that much money. ### 2/5 — Not very useful *2020-02-11, version 1.2* This app does not allow user to search by ailments. There is a one year promise to improve usability, but no apparent improvement. ### 1/5 — App crashes *2019-12-18, version 1.2* I spent 6.99 for this, and can’t use it. Requires sign up and login. Can’t sign up because the app crashes. 😡 ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2019-12-17, version 1.2* Downloaded the app, tried to creat a login account and the app kept kept dumping me out of it. After 5 or 6 times of trying I gave up. Wasted $6.99! ### 1/5 — Doterra App *2019-12-16, version 1.2* I purchased this App for my Iphone X and it dosnt work, cant even open the App. Very disappointed. Please give me a refund. ### 1/5 — Downloaded app but it doesn’t work *2019-12-15, version 1.2* App keeps closing won’t let me create a profile. Frustrating to pay 6.99 and it doesn’t work ### 4/5 — Great app *2019-10-07* I love the app for the quick reference it gives me, TU it would be nice if I could search for an oil for a particular problem. As it is I have to search through everything to find what I need. ### 3/5 — Still Waiting *2019-08-26, version 1.2* When I first downloaded this app, it was a favorite, but without the health portion to help know which oils go with what ailment, I find that I hardly use this app anymore. ### 1/5 — Can’t search by ailment!?! *2019-08-04* Can’t look up by ailment??? Seems silly, only reason I purchased it😞 ### 1/5 — Not worth the price *2019-07-23* Unfortunately they changed then app and it is of little use to me. Don’t buy! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2019-07-16, version 1.2* Cannot search mode symptoms to find an appropriate oil to use. Ex. Acne or headache ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app is not accessible *2024-06-23, version 1.4.4* For those of us who use voiceover some of the features of this app, do not work. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2021-03-13* Why do I have to create an account to use the app? It appears to be simply information about DoTerra essential oils, and the AppStore page shows no in-app purchases. I can’t imagine why the developers would require me to create an account, as there is ready available information via a basic search online. The info in this app is surely not unique. So since I don’t randomly sign up for things (certainly with no reason to do so), I’m out. App will be deleted. ### 1/5 — Unessential oils :( *2020-08-17, version 1.3* Why in the hell do I have to sign up and log in to use this? Disappointed, and deleting this unnecessary personal invasion. ### 1/5 — Ugh *2020-08-17, version 1.3* Requires you to give email to start app. Likely to be spammed to buy more MLM garbage. The only essential oils are Motor and Cooking. And peanut. ### 1/5 — Isn’t it strange all the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ occur on the same day *2020-08-16, version 1.3* Developers that choose to display BS feedback screw up the feedback system for everyone. Instead of posting false feedback, try improving the app. ### 1/5 — Total rip off!!! *2020-08-08, version 1.3* Very unhappy with the basic info, for 7 dollars. I wish I could get a refund. Not all as informative as I was hoping for ### 1/5 — Not worth the $$ *2020-03-21* The price is inflated for what the app does. I would love a refund. ### 1/5 — Misleading description of app *2020-01-27, version 1.2* This app is marketed as independent from doTerra and as “ a comprehensive guide of oils available etc”. But in reality it is a guide featuring only doTerra single oils and blends. No mention of any other oil that is not on the doTerra catalogue. So, no Palmarosa, no May Chang, no Tagetes, no Ho Wood, no carrot seed, no Camphor..... the list of omissions is quite extensive because indeed the list of DoTerra essential oils is quite limited. Very disappointed as there are so many books on EO that call for the use of essential oils that doTerra does not sell and I thought this app would cover them too. ### 1/5 — Not working in iPhone 11 *2019-12-19* Purchased app and unable to sign up to use it. Keeps shutting off when I go to create an account. Phone is and iPhone 11 and software is up to date. I’ve also contacted the app developers about this and they have not got back to me. Extremely annoyed I’ve paid money for an app that I can’t use. ### 1/5 — Missing “Condition” Info *2019-12-18, version 1.2* Until the “Condition” is listed (which you might click on and have helpful oils listed as suggestions) this app isn’t helpful to me at all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Health, energy, clear mind & great support *2022-12-22, version 1.4.4* 😁👍 ### 5/5 — Hi e syou forget to it lol e e *2021-07-18, version 1.3* Y yoes sß de ### 5/5 — Essential oils app *2020-06-10* I enjoy all the information on this app. I can learn the Complexities ond history of oils. I especially like knowing How to apply the oil for a specific need. Thank-you ### 5/5 — Dissatisfied *2018-12-12* When I first got the app I loved it however now that they have updated it and removed the section with ailments I will most likely not use and delete it. The whole reason I’ve been using it was for that one feature. Now the app is basically useless. Very disappointed. I hope they bring that feature back soon. ### 5/5 — Best EO App Ever! Priceless 💙❤️ *2018-10-08* I’m a doTERRA essential oil wellness advocate. I use this EO reference guide on most every day since purchasing it a year ago. I’ve shared it with my clients, friends, & family. I know offhand about 6 to 8 people who’ve purchased upon my recommendation. They also swear by it, & use it daily. I have tried 2-3 other essential oil Apps, & not one of them even comes close to comparing to this one! It’s an amazing resource, loaded with a wealth of knowledge about essential oils. It provides detailed descriptions of what each oil is made from, how they are distilled, their uses, benefits, safety methods and the ways in which you can apply them or how to use them aromatically. The first 4-5 months that I had this App, I used it every day & multiple times a day. My clients believe that I’m a well versed, oil genius because I can provide them answers on the spot anytime they call, text, or face to face questions. I studied this app there early in the beginning and as I stated I used it so often that I don’t have to go into the app as often, however I still use it about three times a week; and when I enroll a new client, I usually end up using the App every day again for the first week or two of enrolling the new member. I highly recommend this App to anyone who wants to learn/educate themselves on EO’s or is a Wellness Advocate who is educating others on their oil journey! :) ### 5/5 — Finally! *2018-02-13* I have paid for other doterra essential oils app only to be dissapointed, but this one actually has accurate and useful information and is easy to use. Totally worth it! ### 5/5 — Essential *2018-02-09* It's so easy to find the information on my doterra oils in this app. It is missing some of the newer essential oils, but still a great resource. ### 5/5 — Happy with it *2018-02-09, version 1.0* Nice easy to use and most importantly it has detailed information on all the doterra oils I use.  ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2018-02-08* This app was exactly what I was looking for! It is so much better than the other doterra essential oil apps that disappointed me ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2018-01-01* This free app is Fantastic! It lets you record what oils you have and then when you search for a recipe, it highlights that you have that oil! It does what some of those paid apps do, but better! Thank you for this app and it can only get better! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
