### 3/5 — Might change rating

*2026-09-01*

Until this app is updated with more brands including middle eastern brands and more niche brands, I consider this app for a casual or beginner in the fragrance hobby.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. MaxManScents is designed for a wide audience, from fragrance beginners to experienced enthusiasts.

If you’re an advanced fragrance collector, I recommend exploring My Library, where you have full control to add and organize your existing collection, fragrances you previously owned, and scents you’re interested in trying or buying.

The app also offers a rich set of tools for evaluating, filtering, comparing, wearing calendar, and managing fragrances.

### 3/5 — Middle eastern mishap

*2026-08-09*

So why can’t we add Middle Eastern brands like Lattafah or any other brands that you don’t have on this app

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

The app offers several ways to add any brand, including Lattafa and other Middle Eastern brands, to My Library:

1. Manual – You can manually add any brand and fragrance.
2. Search – You can search for a fragrance by correctly typing Lattafa or any other brand name.
3. Scan Barcode – You can scan the barcode on the fragrance package to find and add it.

You are not limited to the brands already available in the app.

### 3/5 — It has potential

*2026-06-29*

I like how it has a library of what scents I own. I wish that you didn’t have to manually enter information like what seasons it is suitable for. I also think that being able to give the app an event then having a scent recommended would be great.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. My Library was created to give users full custom control over their own fragrances. Since each user may have different personal impressions, ratings, and experiences, they can decide which season or occasion each fragrance works best for.

It also works together with the Wear Calendar, so you can track what you wore and even plan fragrances in advance for specific days or events.

For scent recommendations, the Tested, Advisor, and Collections sections were created exactly for that purpose — to help users discover fragrances based on occasions, seasons, and different needs.

I really appreciate your suggestion and will keep improving the experience. Before leaving a rating, I encourage you to send me feedback, feature requests, or suggestions for improvements. I work closely with my users and always appreciate their involvement.

### 3/5 — Tuff

*2026-01-24, version 2.5*

YOU HAVE SEEN ME

### 3/5 — Price

*2025-12-07*

I would love to see the price of the cologne, but overall a good site. Although so much blurred out if you don’t pay.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review! For all “Tested” colognes, the app shows price as a relative parameter, which is currently the best way to provide context across many fragrances. In the newly released 2.0 version, the "Library" feature now allows users to add any fragrance with a numeric price or a price range, giving you full control and detailed information.

### 4/5 — Good but

*2025-11-11*

I like it I just wish they had more cologne

### 2/5 — Decent app

*2025-09-09*

honestly not a bad app limited on what they have tested but has most of what you would be looking for when it works but i swear everytime i try to use it its like broken or down

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! If the issue is still present, we recommend doing a clean install. Please completely remove your current version of the app and install the latest available version from the App Store. This should help resolve the problem.

### 3/5 — Glitch

*2025-05-22*

App glitched so uninstalled and deleted everything.

### 4/5 — overall good app

*2025-04-19*

overall a good app and useful but why do i need premium to see the pros and cons like thats doing a lil too extra

### 2/5 — Was nice until it wasn’t

*2024-12-27*

Liked the app until I ran into the fact you have to pay monthly to even use it. Would rather watch ads/pay a one time fee. Pricing is too high for what you get.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I’m glad to hear you initially enjoyed the app. I understand that subscription pricing isn’t for everyone, but it helps me continue improving the app and providing high-quality, detailed content. The free version is designed to provide a preview and give you an understanding of what the app offers before committing. I truly value your input, and I’m always working to make the app better for everyone.

### 3/5 — Has potential

*2024-12-03*

I like the app appearance an everything. But everything being locked behind a subscription is kinda crazy. You can't even see most of the colognes without paying. That part should be removed. Everything else is fire

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad you enjoy the app’s overall. The subscription model supports continued development and quality. I’m always looking for ways to improve, and your input is appreciated as I work to enhance the app further. Thank you for your support!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Okay

*2026-09-10*

This app would be better if it told you the notes that are in the fragrance

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! All tested fragrances in the app already include their fragrance notes. You can find them on each fragrance’s detail page.

### 1/5 — Vibe coded, subscription based trash

*2026-08-26, version 2.31*

Do not waste your time

### 1/5 — Great app (but only if you pay)

*2026-08-06*

Has a ton of really good features and information on fragrances but you can’t use them or see any of the useful information unless you pay. App is practically useless if you aren’t paying for it. Aren’t even allowed to use it to keep a digital collection with more than 5 fragrances if you don’t pay. This app would be great if the majority of the app was actually free to use but 85% of the app is locked behind payment.

### 1/5 — Designer only pay to play

*2026-05-11*

This app does not have a good base of colognes to add to your collection. Only “Designer” brands that would limit you to like 4 colognes. Then why the heck would you need an app?

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review.

You can add any fragrance brand and name to your collection by using the Advanced option. The Basic option was created to simplify the process for beginners by allowing them to search and import from tested fragrances database.

You can add up to 5 fragrances to My Library, allowing access to rich functionality for managing your collection. For larger or more serious collections, Premium access is required to add more fragrances.

I am continuously adding new tested fragrances, more brands, and new features to improve the app.

### 1/5 — Not even updated

*2024-12-26*

Useless app. Buggy.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I update the app regularly to ensure everything runs smoothly, and I take feedback like this very seriously. If you've come across a bug, there's an option in the app to report it directly to me, and I'll do my best to fix it as soon as possible.

### 1/5 — Needs to be better

*2024-11-24*

Where are all the other colognes? Honestly trash app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for using my app! The app features highly valuable and unique fragrance reviews, added only after testing and wear. New fragrances are added monthly.

To find your cologne, I recommend using the search feature to explore the full database. If you have a specific request or a recommendation, feel free to reach out via the app by navigating to Profile > Feedback. Your input is always welcome!

### 1/5 — Charged me $5 just to download and try out the app

*2024-08-17*

charged me $5 just to download and try out the app. There was no warning I was to be charged. I never purchased anything and the app still says to upgrade. L

**Developer response:** The app is FREE to download, and no charges are made just for trying it out.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2024-05-03, version 1.3*

80%-90% of the app is blocked by a pay wall

### 2/5 — Add perfume to your library

*2026-01-05*

You can’t add perfumes to your library with all the data that the app has you have to manually do all of the profiling yourself

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. I understand that manually profiling fragrances can feel tedious, especially when you expect all data to be pre-filled. The main goal of manual profiling is to give users full control over how a perfume is represented in their personal library, performance, and impressions can vary greatly from person to person. Library was created for this exact reason.
There’s no database for these details, it’s all based on personal experience. The app is built for perfume lovers who want full control over their collections, and automatically filling in this information isn’t possible. The entire app is focused on delivering insights you won’t find elsewhere, with reviews and content based on real expertise rather than generic data.

### 2/5 — paywall

*2025-09-21*

decent app but you basically cannot see anything without having to pay for a description. You cannot see the performance or longevity and only really the seasons you can wear it in which is more of a useless feature.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! I understand your concern. The app is built around detailed fragrance insights, including performance, longevity, and more, but these are premium features since they come from the in-depth research I’ve done myself. The free version is meant to give an introduction to the app (like seasons and occasions), while the subscription unlocks the full experience. I’m always improving, and your feedback helps me make the balance between free and premium features clearer.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-21*

I love this app. It told me what fragrance to buy for school and I’ve gotten very good compliments and a lot of people noticed my fragrance. However, there are some fragrance lineups that I think deserve the spotlight, like Murdock London. such a good app recommend buying.

### 5/5 — W app and customer support

*2026-07-06*

Fantastic app love the fact that I can keep up with all my collection because i forget sometimes what I have

### 5/5 — Love this

*2026-04-04, version 2.19*

Love this

### 5/5 — Expanding

*2025-05-15*

Really nice and tidy app but maybe you could include a larger range of fragrances

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-04-15*

I’m a fragrance content creator and this is right on to what I would pick for my Sotd

### 5/5 — More cologne!!

*2025-01-23*

I like the app very simple. Hopefully there are going to be more colognes in app later on

### 5/5 — good but could be better

*2024-10-17*

This is such a good app but could be better. Some ideas are not making people pay for the all the colognes but pay for the extra features about the colognes like how much to spray or other extra stuff about it.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2024-07-31*

just add alot of more fragrances and it will only get better

### 5/5 — I have a good idea

*2024-05-05, version 1.3*

I like how you put how many sprays for each fragrance also add a feature that lets people know where to spray the fragrance and also if a fragrance could be sprayed on clothing

### 5/5 — Add

*2024-05-01, version 1.3*

Can you guys add Luis Vuitton fragrances?
