Hard to make an inventory list with some oils not listed and no way to add to my list. ### 3/5 — Good *2020-12-11, version 1.3.1* Although the app is helpful it does not have all the oils listed. You should be able to at least enter one w a blank filed to name for shopping purposes. ### 3/5 — New oils missing *2020-11-24, version 1.3.1* I have just taken stock of my oils and I have about 10 oils that doesn’t come up on the list. It would be awesome to update the list when new oils comes out for example Hinoki, lemon eucalyptus, lemon myrtle and Summer Savory. ### 3/5 — Update required *2020-11-22, version 1.3.1* It is a good app to be able to keep track of what oils you have but it’s outdated. I have many oils that aren’t listed. Like Basil. It would be good to have it updated or be able to add your own oils ### 2/5 — doTERRA just gave up on this app *2020-08-21, version 1.3.1* This app would be great if they’d actually update it. Half of my oils are not even on here. I wouldn’t mind paying for the premium if it was up to date with the oils that doTERRA carries. ### 2/5 — Adaptiv *2020-08-10, version 1.3.1* I want to see what the free version is like and noticed Adaptiv isn’t listed. Before I invest money, how current is this? ### 3/5 — Ok but could be better *2020-08-07* I would give the free part of this app 5 stars IF they had all the oils listed. Would really love to see them add all so you could put them in your inventory or on your wish list. I was hoping for 1 place to list all my oils but this is just not the case with this app. Many popular oils are not even on the list here....sad... hope they update soon with the rest of the list.... this COULD be a great site.... ### 3/5 — Missing some oils *2020-08-04* I have Basil, Citronella, Clementine, Green Mandarin, Kumquat and Red Mandarin. None of these are included in the oil list. ### 2/5 — Was ok, but... *2020-07-10* I liked the app because it had a lot to offer (personal oil inventory, wish list, usages, etc). I decided to upgrade to the paid version to get access to the recipes. As soon as I paid for the upgrade (monthly only, thankfully) it stopped working. At best it takes forever to load every time I open the app (and when I say forever I mean like more than 5 min). In addition, all the info I had entered before was gone. I want to like this app again, but it need a lot of improvements. ### 3/5 — Could be better *2020-06-03, version 1.3.1* This is a nice app to help keep track of what oils you have but they do not have a full list of the oils offered by DoTERRA ### 2/5 — WHY DID I PURCHASE THIS? *2020-05-01, version 1.3.1* I was excited about this app and happily purchased. Little did i realize it didn’t work. It’s fine to look at the oils & recipes but you can’t copy these to your favorites without writing it down first then rewriting on the favorites page. This should be fixed so you can use the app it should be easy to move between screens. ### 3/5 — Love it almost.... *2020-04-24, version 1.3.1* Although this app has most of the Doterra oils it does not have all. I also wish it would sync my inventory to all devices - it does not. ### 1/5 — Very Disappointing , sorry *2020-04-21* I was so excited to find this , I recently signed up as a Doterra wholesale customer. I assumed there was an app included but no. Found this, you can only look up an ailment, etc.. but you CAN NOT see what oils are recommended to use for it!! aka their ‘ recipe’ Only if I pay $30 more dollars ( I just paid an awful lot buying a kit to get started ) & now they want even more $. Sadly its also true that each day’s suggested’ recipe ‘ also can not be fully read ? DoTerra should include full use , especially if you’re already signed as a consultant . 🤦🏼‍♀️ ### 1/5 — DO NOT PURCHASE THE PREMIUM *2020-04-19* The free part of the app is great, but the premium is a HUGE waste of money. The guide for ailments is limited at best, even some standard searches like "sleep" yields no results. The recipes page is not user friendly at all. To find recipes you have to know the exact name (who is going to think to search "geranium-hyssop gargle") rather than just being able to search for general topics and then receive a handful of related recipe choices. Instead you basically have to scroll through hundreds of recipes one by one to try and find what you might need. Many recipes are in there two, three or four times, and they even have a whole section of "recipes" that describe how to diffuse or inhale single oils. Please don't waste your money on this. For a $30 purchase it should be significantly better. If it was a $5 annual subscription, it would be worth it. I do recommend the free portion of the app, but as one user already reviewed, the info they choose to highlight on the front page (whole useful) can't even be clicked on to read the whole thing or to even be able to enlarge the text which is at times too small to read. ### 4/5 — Missing Inventory Oils *2020-04-18, version 1.3.1* Good app but missing quite a few oils to add to inventory list. Would be great if they could all be added ### 2/5 — Not happy *2020-04-17* I am so disappointed with this app. I purchased the premium. 3 out of 5 searches result in nothing found. The description states “hundreds” of ailments are addressed. I have counted exactly 169. More than just a few “oil uses” have none listed. The home page shows some great teasers with Specific oil benefits and stats that can only be partially read. And lastly, I read in the App Store that I can turn off auto renewal under the settings for this app, yet the app doesn’t even appear under my settings page. I feel duped and can’t even find a contact number or customer service link. I clicked on “app support” in the App Store and it took me to another Essential Oil app. ### 1/5 — Brutal *2020-04-14, version 1.3.1* Pass on this, barely works. ### 4/5 — Update *2020-04-04, version 1.3.1* Can you let me know when you will update the oils in inventory? So many new ones not on there. Basil is missing too ### 3/5 — Missing new oils *2020-03-15, version 1.3.1* You have a comment that you put in the new oils. Well I don’t see Birch, Celery Seed. Etc. so when can we expect to see the full line of oils? It makes the app less useful. Also could use a way to say I have 1 and 1/2 bottles of some oils. To always count as 1 full bottle does not help me keep my inventory, clear and under control. ### 1/5 — This is a subscription! *2020-03-15, version 1.3.1* $$$$ needed to access what is free elsewhere! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I can’t sign up *2023-05-12, version 2.0.0* I can’t sign up email for newsletter or allow notifications I press and nothing happens ### 1/5 — Scam!!!! *2023-01-12, version 2.0.0* I have this subscription and it does not work!!! Can’t access any recipes at all. Says I need to upgrade and I am upgraded. ### 1/5 — Claim *2022-09-21, version 1.3.1* Greeting! I subscribed for a year and it does not allow me to access anything ### 1/5 — I purchased the upgrade *2022-04-29, version 1.3.1* And it doesn’t work. It keeps prompting me to upgrade again, but obviously won’t work because it’s already been upgraded. So it just won’t unlock the paid features. So it just takes your money and doesn’t deliver. ### 1/5 — Not good *2022-04-24, version 1.3.1* I have paid the year membership and when I try to access it, it says to upgrade. Then I can’t access my membership to manage it. ### 1/5 — Don’t purchase - bait and switch *2021-01-29, version 1.3.1* I spent the money on it and now I have to subscribe to their monthly plan for the oils recommended. Bait and switch ### 1/5 — Very disappointed! *2020-09-19, version 1.3.1* I wish I would’ve read the reviews first before I paid for a year subscription. This app is not even updated and is missing a lot of oils. They don’t even have an inventory list of their Personal Care products, Supplements and Vitamins. To me this was a total waste of money. Plus it doesn’t sync to other devices. I want my money back! ### 1/5 — Misleading *2020-09-09, version 1.3.1* You don’t get access to this info without playing a hefty fee. Very misleading and disappointing. ### 1/5 — Better information found by googling *2020-07-24, version 1.3.1* Not very useful. I found more information by googling recipes. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2020-05-18, version 1.3.1* They don’t even update for the new oils. Use the free but don’t buy!!! The free isn’t that great either. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this app *2020-01-30, version 1.3* I love this app, they do need to update the EO lists, as DoTERRA has expanded their product line, but overall this app is exactly what I was looking for and is a tremendous help! ### 5/5 — Highly recommend *2019-05-28, version 1.2.1* Use and love the oils on myself and all of my clients!!! Firm believer in the oils. Wish more people believed and would use them. This doterra essential oil reference guide app is awesome and a lot cheaper and handier than the book! ### 5/5 — Great tool *2019-05-27, version 1.2.1* This doterra essential oil reference guide is a great reference source! These guys are not trying to sell any particular brand, just information!!! VERY HELPFUL!!! The fact that I prefer Young Living Oils is my opinion. Which EO company you use is your choice!! Remember it's a Free App!! ### 5/5 — Very Helpful *2019-05-27, version 1.2.1* I use this doterra essential oil reference guide app daily. I would love an option to create a wish list. Another great option would be a place where I can create a daily (morning/noon/night) routine list. ### 5/5 — Less than 24 hours later it's a favorite *2019-05-27* I love this doterra essential oil reference guide app and I've only had it for less than a day. I only wish that there was a way for people to get in contact with each other so they could talk about oils as well as sharing blends. It would be a great way for people to share other oil information and teach newbies how to get started! Otherwise love it. Great look, easy to use, fun to look through... definitely recommend for oil enthusiasts! ### 5/5 — Works well *2019-05-25, version 1.2.1* This doterra essential oil reference guide app working is really simple and informative. It does what it supposed to do. I needed the detailed info for doTerra oils. And i got it ### 5/5 — Love it so much *2019-05-25* This doterra essential oil reference guide app is awesome!! If you need clear and concise information on essential oils without having go through tons of books, then this app is the one. In this day and age not everyone has enough time to remember what each oil does and their benefits, so perfect if you want to the point information. I also love the fact that they have their own store, so they know what they're talking about. I will definitely be buying from them in the future ### 5/5 — Easy to use and very informative *2019-05-25* One of my friend recommended this doterra essential oil reference guide app to me and i found this app very useful. Who would have thought there is an oil to help with weight loss... i have just started with a personal trainer and is inclined to buy the recommended oil as added help. ### 5/5 — This app has it all!! *2019-05-24* Every question you have ever had about essential oils is covered in here. I'm not new to essential oils and I almost didn't get this app because I thought it was superficial. I was wrong. It covers from basics to little details. Every essential oil user should have this doterra essential oil reference guide app ### 5/5 — Excited App *2019-05-24* 43. An App that's not just for doTerra or Young Living Even though when you try and email support, it shows that it's a doTerra rep or somebody. There are a few apps very similar, even with the same name and design, however, those app refer to having info on doTerra and Young Living. So, I believe I got the right app for all Essential Oil lovers and not navigated toward doTerra and Young Living. chose the "Essential Oils Reference" app that had "medical" right below it. Some have "health & Fitness, etc..." Happy with this particular App!!!! Thank you!!!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
