### 1/5 — Nothing more than an e-book could provide.

*2023-02-21, version 1.5.1*

With all the great reviews I thought this would be better. I have enough reference books, both hard copy as well as electronic, so this did not impress me at all.  I wish I had seen when the last update had been made before I purchased (hint: It has been quite a while) as it would have saved me the $6.99. Lesson learned.

### 1/5 — Unable to see content

*2021-12-27, version 1.5.1*

I just purchased this app yesterday as reviews looked great and engagement seemed high.
However after opening/loading the app, I did not see any content. When I switch tabs (from oils to blends) I eventually get content for ONE of the categories. This makes me wonder if a) the whooping prize of $6.99 is justified and b) if this app is still being improved on. At this point I would not recommend this app.

### 1/5 — Misleading app

*2021-01-10, version 1.5.1*

This app is worthless. I bought it with the intent of knowing what oil to use for what issue. This has been taken away and is no longer available on this app. Waste of money!! Company just keeps saying they are reformatting the app. Well, they have been reformatting for over a year and this option is still not available. Do not waste your money! There are better apps out there!!

**Developer response:** Hello TinyTotsEmbroidery, Thanks for the feedback. Any questions or suggestions please contact us at support@cauim.co

### 1/5 — I used to love it, now not at all!

*2020-08-30, version 1.5.1*

This app used to be my go-to for help with ailments. Now the whole ailment section is gone. Please fix! I paid for this when it was the best essential oil app. I hope it will be fixed soon and not a total waste of money.
 I think I sent this review when I first realized the ailments/recipes were deleted. I was hoping after the revamp that it would bring those back. But it hasn’t so here’s another 1 star rating. PLEASE BRING BACK THE AILMENT RECIPES!! THAT’S WHY I PAID FOR THE APP!!

**Developer response:** Hello Sagriff, Thank you for the feedback. Sorry for the inconvenience, we are reformulating the app’s experience.

### 3/5 — Missing oils

*2020-05-19, version 1.5.0*

This is a great app, and so handy to have and look up the oils and the blends, and what they are good for. 

I just looked up Jojoba, and it’s not included. It makes me wonder how many others oils are missing from the list. Including all oils will help oil users in their selections as they continue to use YL oils.

Also, as another reviewer pointed out, it would be helpful to have a list of ailments and the recipes suggested for each. This, again, will help the consumer make the most out of their use of YL products.

I recommend that that you keep updating and developing this up. 

Thank you!

**Developer response:** Hello Bogdel, Thanks for the feedback.

### 2/5 — Search function doesn’t

*2020-05-16, version 1.5.0*

The search function within the app does not function.  This app would benefit from a cross-referencing capable/key word search function, and definitely needs more specific info about the best uses for each oil.  
Needs improvement.

### 1/5 — This app use to be so much better

*2020-02-06, version 1.5.0*

I bought this app when it had some of the greatest resources for ailments and much more guidance and information than they do now. Why did you take the best part of your app away? I wish I could get a refund to buy an app that I can actually use.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2020-01-28, version 1.5.0*

How long until the app is reformatted/reformulated? I read reviews and then later realized I read reviews from a year ago or more. Had I searched for reviews from the last few months I would not have purchased this app. How do I go about getting a refund?

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2019-12-17, version 1.5.0*

Not what I expected from YL. Sadly this was $6.99😳 wasted. This feels like an app from 10 years ago. Not easy to search ailments, oil descriptions are very technical and they're are no suggested uses or recipes. I see most responses for over the past year are "...we are reformulating the app"🤷‍♀️

### 1/5 — Ailment section

*2019-10-30, version 1.5.0*

I bought this app just now under the impression you void search various ailments to find an appropriate oil for. I get the app downloaded and there aren’t any search options for an ailment. I wouldn’t have paid the money for the app if I had have know your couldn’t search!
