Love this app - use it daily. Extremely helpful!

### 5/5 — La mejor guía para poder usar los aceites esenciales

*2025-05-18, version 1.5.9*

Me encanta pero está teniendo problemas no puedo ingresar

### 3/5 — Buena, pero sin actualizar

*2025-04-18, version 1.5.9*

Me gusta mucho, llevo años usándola, pero lo malo es que ya no han actualizado nada y hay muchos aceites nuevos que me gustaría consultar y pues no hay forma. Lástima! Ojalá que actualizaran.

### 3/5 — Precisa atualizar

*2025-04-02*

Procurando por óleos tanto do Brasil quanto fora, que foram lançados a muito tempo e aqui não tem as atualizações. Estou decepcionada. Não pretendo pagar-+ 1 ano

### 5/5 — Du génie !

*2025-02-26*

Practical, complete, helpful. ✨

### 4/5 — Getting better

*2024-10-06*

So far so good, however, I have some oils not listed because they were specials. Is there a way to enter these into my inventory?

### 2/5 — Funktioniert nicht mehr

*2024-09-23*

Leider funktioniert die Suche nicht mehr

### 2/5 — No actualiza aceites

*2024-06-26, version 1.5.8*

Pago por la versión completa y no actualiza a los últimos aceites. He tenido que comprar el libro más reciente para poder consultar éstos.

### 1/5 — Not full access even though paid for app!

*2024-03-20*

Really not cool when you charge $4.99 for an app and then don't have full access! Where they still want you to buy a monthly or yearly subscription on-top of paying for an app! 

I have the hard cover book at home and thought it would be handy to have this on my phone. But it isn't! :( 

Please make it free and subscription or pay for the app with full access! 

Thanks

### 5/5 — Почему перестало работать приложение?

*2023-03-06*

Классное приложение! Но перестало работать приложение несколько дней назад
