If this worked I give five stars. ### 2/5 — Not great *2024-04-03, version 2.0.0* I have the Aroma Tools Modern Essentials App. I’m not sure why they discontinued it for new users, but it is by far a better App than this one. This App is missing really critical information such as oils recommendation for treatment diabetes. It also hasn’t been updated for 2 yrs. Not a fan. ### 2/5 — Slightly useful, but still a rip off *2022-08-28, version 2.0.0* This app is a great concept but is a scam and a rip off of BitToast’s Essential Oils - Young Living app. I gave it 2 stars because the addition of the doTERRA information might be helpful for some, but everything else about the app is clearly stolen from BitToast’s. Also, the daily features have never actually loaded for me, and neither the website nor email address listed in this app’s description actually exist. ### 3/5 — Inventory Problem *2020-09-16, version 1.2.1* I was so excited to see dōTERRA and Young Living oils in this app, buy them I was so disappointed to find there are only single oils in the inventory and shopping list. What about the blends? Or maybe just the capability to add items that are not on the list? ### 3/5 — Not what I was looking for *2020-04-30, version 1.2.1* Can’t remember if I had to buy this or not. Helpful, but not what I was looking for. Wanted to go more in depth on some oils ghat weren’t here. ### 2/5 — Unidentifiable symbols *2020-02-23, version 1.2.1* Can not find a legend for the symbols used to identify each oil. That makes the symbols useless ### 3/5 — Could add more oils *2019-09-05, version 1.2.1* Was putting my oils in so I had a list on the go but there isn’t any wintergreen missing a lot of oils! ### 2/5 — Had potential until *2019-08-20, version 1.2.1* Not every oil available is listed I refuse to pay a monthly fee for an app that can’t at least give a full few days free to see if it’s worth it. Needs to be able to select multiple oils at 1 time to add, single oils take forever to add. Sorry, not worth a monthly fee- ### 2/5 — Pricing is ridiculous *2019-01-30, version 1.1* Looks like a great app but recipes are not available without upgrade which is $5/month or $40/year instead of a one-time fee. That's ridiculous for a quick phone all. Anyone serious about essential oils has all the books and this would just be a quick reference. Way too expensive for what it is. ### 3/5 — Not complete app *2019-01-21, version 1.1* I really liked the idea of the inventory. However the listing oils is very light. I have more oils them listed. A bit disappointing. ### 1/5 — Paid upgrade required *2018-12-27* To view recipes you need to pay for the upgrade. Very disappointed. Looks like an interesting app ### 1/5 — Need to upgrade for content *2018-12-14, version 1.1* This app promises but you have to upgrade to get most content. Not helpful. ### 1/5 — Upgrade required *2018-12-04* To see the recipes you must upgrade. I can look up a condition but can't see the info. Poorly done. Deleted it soon after it was installed. ### 1/5 — App keeps shutting down *2018-11-02, version 1.1* Every time I click on something The app closes. I am very disappointed as I paid for this app. Please fix! ### 4/5 — Great resource but would like to add custom oils *2018-09-23, version 1.1* I love all the essential oils this app includes and the info on each I am using it to keep my inventory but I cannot add oils not in the list. Also I would like to add my inventory or carrier oils so I can keep it all in one place. I hope they add these 2 features. I also wish the list of oils would mark the ones I have in the inventory so I can quickly identify which ones I am missing and want to buy ### 1/5 — Not happy *2018-09-21, version 1.1* I was told I could cancel my subscription by turning off the auto-renewal but do not see that option anywhere in the app. No settings or anything. I emailed the developer, using the email given and have not heard back. So, it looks like I am stuck paying monthly whether I like it or not. ### 1/5 — No unsubscribe button *2018-09-13, version 1.1* I feel sad because I accepted a free trial which I don’t want to continue. I have been emailing the support team with no responses, and there is no way of unsubscribing from the full mode in the app. Can the creator please email or message me, I really need some help with your app. Sorry for resorting to a public post but I haven’t had the option... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 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 — Cancellation of yearly subscription *2020-04-19, version 1.2.1* This app required me to put in cc information before I begin the 3 day free trial. I have tried to cancel the yearly subscription after a day and there wasn’t a way for me to do so. I sent a message to the developer and haven’t received a response. ### 1/5 — Where’s the homepage content? *2020-01-29, version 1.2.1* I’ve downloaded this app and the home page content is missing. Would love the recipes, tips and oil info. Please bring that back! Will increase to 4 or 5 stars! ### 1/5 — 👎🏻 *2019-08-28, version 1.2.1* Don’t buy this app. Trying to stop the subscription ( over $ 45 per year ) and find impossible to do it 👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Useless without paid upgrade *2019-06-29, version 1.2.1* Don’t bother with this app. It’s not at all a good reference for beginners to essential oils. With the free version, you can lookup different ailments, but all you get is a descriptor of the ailment, no recipes or suggested oil combinations to actually address the ailment. You can add your own ailments. You can add your favorite essential oils. But doing so just creates an unnecessary list with no support for addressing the ailments with the oils. I’m not paying for this when there are numerous other apps that are far more helpful while remaining free to use. ### 1/5 — Pyramid scheme *2019-04-26, version 1.2.1* This is a pyramid scheme, don't join it. ### 1/5 — Won’t do anything *2019-04-04, version 1.2.1* I was so excited to find this app, it had great reviews, but I can’t get it to do anything and the worst part is that I paid the 4.99 to get it. ### 1/5 — App won’t open *2019-04-03* I’m unable to open the app, as it just keeps spinning! I’m hesitant to spending $10 upgrade as am not sure that will work either! Does anyone else have this issue as well? ### 1/5 — Switch & Bait *2019-01-04, version 1.1* Just downloaded this. Was excited after reading description and “good reviews”. I should’ve read the one-star reviews. I looked up an ailment, clicked on recipe only to learn you need to buy a monthly subscription to access it! With the price they’re asking for the subscription, I’m sure there’s a better app out there with a one time fee, not subscription based. Rip off. ### 1/5 — $40 a year subscription? No thanks! *2019-01-04, version 1.1* Yes, that’s right. I downloaded the app and looked up a condition. The info was blank, but said it could be opened with a “premium” paid version. When I clicked on the link to purchase, it came up $4/month or $40 annual subscription. I looked through a few other oils and ailments and was not impressed. I will look for another app or use my book or phone app that cost $6.99 one-time purchase and has more info than this app. Very disappointed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Functional and comprehensive *2020-03-10, version 1.2.1* This has everything you need, with lots of info about all the oils you are ever likely to use. The only disadvantage is that recipes are disabled unless you take out a subscription. This would work out pretty expensive long term. However, you can find recipes elsewhere and add them to the app in the form of notes, which can be attached to individual oils or individual conditions. Your notes are conveniently listed together as a separate menu, so can be easily found and accessed. The note-taking and search facilities are truly excellent, and this gives you the foundations for a useful and flexible app that can be added to over time in a much more useful way than simply marking “favourites”, which you can also do, which creates useful shortcuts. All in all, an excellent resource. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2019-07-04* Have only had this less than a week and I upgraded. Just not impressed how expensive it is. ### 5/5 — HIGHLY RECOMMEND *2018-09-08, version 1.0* This app is full of excellent Young Living Oil information! ### 5/5 — Useful App *2018-09-08, version 1.0* Tons of information!
