### 1/5 — Needs work

*2013-11-06, version 2.1*

I was really excited to see this app! But as soon as I got into it and clicked an herb, I saw the information in the background but there was a loading symbol. I couldn't scroll or do anything with any of the information! :( please fix!! I really want this app!!

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2013-01-20, version 2.1*

The app just lists herbs and sends you straight to Wikipedia (we all know this is the gold standard in information) when you select it.  Better off googling it.

### 1/5 — Bad since update

*2012-10-01*

You can ONLY view with an Internet connection not offline

### 1/5 — That's all?!

*2012-09-06, version 1.0*

Only 96 herbs and No mention of cannabis..  Only the most potent cancer fighter on the planet.  Here in Colorado, our herbal information is far more sophisticated.  Instant deletion for app maker ignorance.  All the most important information has been left out.

### 4/5 — Great, but...

*2010-08-12, version 0*

It would be nice if you could search based on what they do. Just a suggestion.

### 1/5 — so what

*2010-07-03, version 0*

Honestly, I was expecting a little more from this application.  Yes....it is only one buck but, why not include some info on how it is used, preperation, and dosage or amount to prepare for theraputic effects?  Come one...make some updates!

### 3/5 — iPad version please

*2010-06-17*

I have just looked at a few of the herbs and uses, and they match with books that I've read in the past, would like an app that fit the iPad better, nice use of pictures, liked the ability to scroll through information.

### 5/5 — Easy and simple

*2009-12-27, version 0*

If you like herbal remedies, this is a must have app. Very easy and simple to understand.

### 5/5 — Simple and Elegant

*2009-12-25, version 0*

A great reference app without all of the hogwash that slows things down. LOVE IT!
