Not worth the money
I purchased this app because I really, really want a good app both to use as a reference guide for essential oils as well as to have a way to keep track of my own oil collection. I chose this one based on the number of positive reviews and the fact that it didn’t appear to be owned by a single EO brand that was looking to sell their own products.
Now that I have paid for it and downloaded it, I see that it was not worth the price. It does not include many oils which I myself own or am interested in and it does not have an option to add oils. There are very few blend recommendations and the search options are clumsy to use and require you to wade through the entire oil descriptions. The point of an app is easier ability to get straight to what I am looking for but if I have to dig this much I might as well just be on a free website. There is very little included in the app that isn’t basic information available on any EO website or reference book.
The way the app tries to force you to send them emails is also annoying.
The app developers claim that they are aspiring to be the best EO reference out there and perhaps they could achieve their goal if they continue to build the oil database and improve the search features but for now it is not worth the price.

Good information on oils, needs a reference for symptoms
Live the detail of the oils. Would be my go to app for oils, if I could look up the use of oils by symptom.
Not updated
The app is not updated when new oils come on the market with Doterra. Getting irrelevant
Not worth $
Other apps for $2.99 $0.99 and FREE have the same or more info!
Annoyed I purchased because “top rated”.
Pinterest has a lot more info & easier to find! Ridiculous.

Refund
Where can I ask for a refund! I did not use this app
Unsafe usage recommendations
This app has some helpful basic information on individual essential oils, but the usage recommendations are unsafe. For example, milk will not properly dilute essential oils in the bath, nor is it safe to add lemon oil to your water as water does not dissolve oils. Therapeutic room sprays- especially if you will also be spraying yourself- should be made using a proper solvent (such as 100 proof or greater alcohol or polysorbate 80) and a preservative to avoid growth of bacteria or mild. This app perpetuates so much of the unsafe usage recommendations that are readily available through Pinterest and MLMs.
I consider myself fairly well educated in this area as I am an aromatherapy student and I have studied many reputable Aromatherapy textbooks including Tisserand & Young’s Safety book.

Oils app review
This app doesn’t have near enough ailment treatments in that section. It’s not the app I thought I was getting. I’d like to get my money back.

Essential oil app
Overall nice design. It would be helpful to include the reflex charts of hands, feet and ears in the topical uses area. It would also be helpful to separate the “blends well with” details from the rest of the description. The search is a bit slow and lagging.
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback, we are currently working on an upgrade to improve it.
Save your cash
Pretty good an comprehensive app but not really what I need. Not intuitive search.
LOVE LOVE LOVE
Has every oil you can think of! Easy to do recipes and easy understanding of how to treat things!
I love the app
But please correct “message” to “massage”, just want to let you know the typo error
Very little information
This app has WAY too little information to charge this premium!! It would be acceptable if it was free but there is not enough info on ailments to compare with other essential oil apps
Excellent resource
I have a few different essential oil Apps I use for reference. This App has quickly become my “go to,” and the best resource for in-depth yet easy to understand information on my numerous oils.
I also like it because I find oil information here that’s missing from the other Apps. For example, I was just trying to locate details on the use of Tumeric essential oil and none of my other Apps even had Tumeric listed.
I’m studying to become certified as an aromatherapist so it’s critical I have multiple resources to refer to on some of the less well known oils. Most Apps seem to only focus on the most common ones so I’m grateful to have this resource available.

Just the basics
It does give a detailed description of many essential oils. But, that is something that can be found quickly on the internet. There are also many ailments included, but only a few essential oils that can treat them and only 1 recipe per ailment per type of application. Often the recipes include essential oils that aren’t listed as treatment oils. Another thing that would be so helpful would be to have specific classifications, such as: calming, energy, antibacterial, antiseptic,...and then a list of essential oils with that property. Overall I am greatly disappointed.

Essential Oils Ap
New in the Essential Oil field and really have a lot to learn. This Ap is so helpful, whenever I have a question or concern, it is nice to know I have someplace I can go to find answers. I would recommend you find a DoTERRA source for working with animals as there are good sources who recommend DoTERRA Oils. That’s the only part I would edit so far.

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. I chose the “Essential Oils Reference” app that had “medical” right below it. Some have “health & fitness,etc...”
Happy with this particular App!!!! Thank you!!!!!

DoTerra app
I love the use of the app, but disappointed at some questionable advice. There is really no regulation regarding essential oils, nor an independent body that certifies the quality of oils. When I tried to reach support, it said Support: Subject: doTerra oils - Support. For me, an indicator that the person behind the app works for doTerra, even if only as an independent sales rep. Feeling cheated, because in a review she stated that this is not a DoTerra app. Only three stars for that.

Glad for phone app
I use and study EO’s. I take notes on EO’s in another format and would like to add my notes into the note section of this app using my phone camera and photos. Can you please add an option to transfer photo data, so I don’t need to retype the important information I want to add to the “notes” option. Otherwise, I live this app. Thanks for your help.

Great simple to use
I am really liking this app. Everything is so organized and simple to find and use. There is a lot of information that is very useful.
Response from developer
Great to hear you're having a good experience with our app :)
Essential Oils Guide
I just wish there was a feature where we can add our own blends that we already have.
Response from developer
This seems to be a very useful feature. We are going to add it to following updates
