Could be more thorough, which would make it an much more useful App! ### 2/5 — Not much content *2016-04-27, version 2.2.5* I opted to pay 99 cents for this over some of the free herb tracker apps due to the "notes" feature. However, the first several herbs I looked up we're not in the database. I'm going to try to get my money back. ### 2/5 — Simplistic *2014-12-02, version 2.2.5* Way too basic. Helpful if you need just the most basic. Does not show any side effects nor contraindications. ### 4/5 — Pharmacist *2014-11-10, version 2.2.5* I think it's a good reference! Helps often for those ones that haven't stuck since college ### 2/5 — Below average *2014-09-20, version 2.2.5* Not enough herbs listed or information ### 2/5 — Grade 6 level *2013-04-16, version 2.1.2* Very limited number of herbs on here and also very brief write ups. Side effects would be something good to list... ### 2/5 — Medicinal Herbs *2013-03-04, version 2.1.2* The descriptions of the plants and there uses are sparse. If you are looking for ten seconds of info then maybe this is all you need. There are no pictures of the plants to aid in identification. ### 3/5 — Basic but free *2013-02-01, version 2.1.2* Good info but very limited, better with pictures or more herbs. Great for being free. ### 3/5 — Good Ap!! *2012-11-17, version 2.1.2* Could use updates and pics though. ### 4/5 — Herbs *2012-09-03, version 2.1* It's great for being free. ### 4/5 — Ya Get What ya Pay For *2012-08-05, version 2.1* Considering this app is free... No one should complain. It contains basic info, which is all it should. If someone wants more info, the should invest! ### 1/5 — Sad *2012-08-02, version 2.1* Very poor information considering the wealth of data available. Just look at the German Commission E data. It's not even a good beginning. ### 2/5 — Okay Start *2012-07-28, version 2.1* This app is OKAY to start. But must agree with the others. It has very little information and no pics. It has the potential to be a very good resource but only if it has pics and quite a few more herbs. Also where the herbs are indigenous too, how to procreate, cut, dangers and dosage amounts. For example herbs like sage are good for you, but if you ingest too much it can make you sick and valerian WILL help you relax so you can sleep but must be given in VERY small amounts... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — When will you update to latest iOS? *2020-01-23, version 2.2.5* When will you update to latest iOS ? ### 1/5 — Not a very good app *2015-04-14, version 2.2.5* On looking at the information , especially on soy , one soy is not a herb at all , so is not used for memory problems it causes meme rosy problems , the info that is given is not all correct , I have yet to look further at the app , to find more wrong info , I. Glad it's not a paid app, please re look at the info you have posted on your app before you tell people what things are used for and correct info as herbs can kill people if taken wrongly ### 1/5 — Missing herbs *2015-02-09, version 2.2.5* This app doesn't contain all the useful herbs out there. Content is not helpful as it could be. ### 1/5 — Medicinal Herbs - very basic *2015-01-25, version 2.2.5* This app is alright for someone who knows nothing about medicinal herbs. It's extremely basic and has just a few of the most common herbs listed. The concept of the app is very good- and with expanding the data base - perhaps also to include vitamins and minerals - this could be a fantastic app! Don't bother with it - unless you know nothing about medicinal herbs, then it might be useful. ### 1/5 — Minimal information *2013-06-12, version 2.1.2* Not much info ### 1/5 — Terrible *2013-02-18, version 2.1.2* Does not even come close to providing all herbs. Don't waste your time with this app ### 1/5 — Awful app *2013-01-20, version 2.1.2* This app could use some work. There is more herbs than that in the world. ### 1/5 — Nothing new or helpful *2012-10-23, version 2.1.2* Under A are 2 items (2!) one being aloe. Does anyone not know what aloe is or does? Glad this app was free. Would never pay for something this lacking in information. Poor and in many cases useless descriptions, no photos. Skip this one there are MUCH better apps out there. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Mike *2012-10-10, version 2.1.2* Firstly some of the information is misleading and or incorrect. Secondly, anyone who references Wikipedia should be shamed. There is little to no regulation of the information anyone can upload to that site. Be aware of inaccurate information. ### 1/5 — Too little info *2012-08-13, version 2.1* App works but has so little information it is virtually useless - with medicinal herbs, treatment based on incomplete information could be more dangerous than non-treatment. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-04-28, version 2.2.5* The best app ### 5/5 — Jeff *2016-08-13, version 2.2.5* Love it ### 5/5 — Herbs *2015-10-02, version 2.2.5* Works for me ### 5/5 — Very good *2015-09-19, version 2.2.5* Very good keep up the good work ### 5/5 — No ads ? *2013-01-09, version 2.1.2* Why under "no ads" is there a Scotia Bank ad? ### 5/5 — Love this app *2012-10-16, version 2.1.2* This is a great tool for learning about herbs. The last update is wonderful there always adding new things. It's great that in the app it tells you the history of the herbs what they have been used for and All the different names for the herb. It is very worth getting. ### 5/5 — :) *2012-08-18, version 2.1* Awesome love this app & very helpful ### 5/5 — Please :D *2011-12-08, version 1.1* Good just needs more info and herbs Hope you do an update, i'll be waiting ### 5/5 — A good app *2011-07-26, version 1.1* A good free app for herbs hope there will be a lot more herbs added ### 5/5 — Great App!! *2011-03-16, version 1.0* Very useful!!!!
