The only thing is I wish i could keep track of what I have in my personal collection and filter by that. ### 4/5 — This app is cool just read this and you’ll understand why I rate it 4 stars *2022-10-04, version 1.0.2* This is a good imformation app just be aware of these things. I’m going to stop beating around the bush some of these crystals are used for…. Intimate passion uses I do not use them for that I’m a child but some people use them for that and I think they can know that information but not on a app that’s rated 12+ a kid my a few years younger than me shouldn’t be exposed to this stuff I SHOULDN’T be exposed to this stuff. Other then the alternative using knowledge about the stones this app is great it tells you how to use the the stones and the stones healing power in a non robotic, humorful tone. Would recommend to people who are adults but for children I would consider my first reasoning. ### 4/5 — I LOVE THIS APP *2022-08-24, version 1.0.2* ok this app has amazing information and I love everything about it but the only reason I gave a 4 star is the lack of different types of crystals This Gives so much information on the crystal of stone but lacks in the amount of stones and crystals. Some crystals I was trying to find didn’t even show up But other then that I completely recommend This app was an amazing helper especially as a beginner witch doing witchcraft in secret bc my family is super religious And I just love this app ### 4/5 — Good app for beginning to learn abt crystals *2022-08-02, version 1.0.2* I found a few crystals yesterday and just happened to open this app for the first time today. The commentary on all the crystals I found felt like the writer was talking directly to me! Insightful and lighthearted. I can’t wait to see more crystals added. ### 3/5 — Have had it 3 years, needs more crystals! *2022-06-06, version 1.0.2* I love this concept, the photos are clear and easy to see (need labels I think to make it more useful) and the writing is unique. However, I’ve had this for 3 years, patiently waiting for new stones to be added for a more substantial library, and none have been added. I think this could be solved by making this app more like a personal library, where we can add our own photos that automatically cut out (like the “rock identifier” app) and our own descriptions! Otherwise, this app becomes kinda useless after you’ve read everything. ### 3/5 — Great! but……. *2022-05-09, version 1.0.2* At first I got this app to learn about crystals and stones. But you can imagine my disappointment when they don’t have a lot of crystals on the app. This would be a five star review if they had more crystals and stones. For example I wanted to look up what Onyx does and they don’t have any onyx on there app. If they can get this fixed I would use it the app much more often it’s still a great app but don’t be surprised if they don’t have a lot of crystals. ### 4/5 — Love the app! Some suggestions… *2022-02-19, version 1.0.2* You should add a feature where you can add stones you like to a favourites folder! And of course, adding more stones, but other than that great app :))) ### 4/5 — Entertaining and Relatable *2022-02-11, version 1.0.2* I really like this app! The way the information is written is entertaining and relatable. Add more stones to make it 5 stars! ### 3/5 — bad words… *2022-02-10, version 1.0.2* I love ALMOST everything but the bad words. I won’t say it but yeah. Please fix this. ### 3/5 — The descriptions annoy me *2022-01-14, version 1.0.2* I like the app. The layout is pretty. But man, the descriptions are really cringey and make it hard for me to take it seriously. I lost it at “stressy vibe”. Feels like I’m reading my Spotify wrapped or a buzzfeed article. ### 4/5 — . *2021-10-01, version 1.0.2* wonderful but… please add that malachite has lead and is water soluble ### 4/5 — Very Helpful! *2021-09-26, version 1.0.2* This app can be really helpful when it comes to identifying rocks and crystals. I used it most recently while shopping at a rock and mineral show. My only complaint is that while searching for some crystals by name, i noticed that they don't have some crystals. i tried searching for onyx and a couple more unique stones and could not find them on this app. would be awesome if they added more!! ### 3/5 — Love it but *2021-09-07, version 1.0.2* It would be nice if there were more stones. No obsidian? That’s not a rare stone. No fuschite? The simplicity is gorgeous and I love that you can search by vibe, but the library needs expanding! ( ### 4/5 — Great !! *2021-09-05, version 1.0.2* I really enjoy this app, it’s very interesting and insightful; Sorting by “vibe” is very convenient, but I would love if a “water-safe” filter was added. It would save me and others a lot of time if some physical or cleansing tips were added as well !! ### 3/5 — meh *2021-09-04, version 1.0.2* app is alright- wish there was more information and more gems because 90% of the crystals I wanted info on- I couldn’t find. ### 4/5 — good info but could use more minerals *2021-08-15, version 1.0.2* the app itself is super helpful and has pretty good explanations and it’s also organized nicely, but they could use add a few more very common ones i noticed were missing, like Herkemer diamond quartz and charoite. they could also add a few more pictures for each crystal/mineral as well. ### 4/5 — lovely but more updates would be cool *2021-08-03, version 1.0.2* this app seams great! beautiful and simple layout with clear information on the crystals. however it is sad to see the last update made was 2 years ago :/ adding more stones would obviously be good but also more features like saving favourites. overall nice app though. ### 3/5 — So much potential *2021-07-17, version 1.0.2* This app is quite informative, with a clean and simple design. However the last update was 2 years ago with a small amt if stones added. This app would be a rather useful tool were it more complete! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not one stone identified correctly. *2021-06-20, version 1.0.2* Keeps giving me an error message of one . thing or another. I went all the way in the backyard, in the sunlight, still can't identity an Amethyst. I tried everything. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2021-01-01, version 1.0.2* Very limited amount of crystals ### 1/5 — Cant submit stones to be added *2020-12-15, version 1.0.2* Would love to be able to see more stones added. Willing to help with this myself, but the app doesn’t even have a submit suggestion button... ### 1/5 — Don’t understand *2019-10-12, version 1.0.2* I have bought the app and when I go on it nothing pops up except the logo☹️ ### 1/5 — Stone *2019-03-25, version 1.0.2* This is one of the worst apps I’ve ever seen. You use the magnifying glass & put in a stones name and nothing comes up. Click on the balance and it shows you pictures instead of the name of the stone you have to tap on the stone and then I’ll give you the name. This would take forever to find what you’re looking for really bad app. Wouldn’t recommend this app to anybody. ### 2/5 — Hasn't Been Updated in Forever *2022-06-12, version 1.0.2* This could be a very unique app, none that I've seen anywhere else like it. But it looks like it hasn't been updated since 2018? And their IG has been inactive since 2019.... The stones displayed are limited and the description are very "Buzzfeed"-annoying. Doubt this app will go anywhere at this point, but if it does, please write intelligent, informational descriptions and include some of the more commonly found crystals. But, yeah. ### 2/5 — More stones *2021-06-19, version 1.0.2* I wish it will show the different types of the stones there is. Like the raw and the crystallize ones and also show the difference between fake and real. It would really help. Thank you so much. ### 2/5 — Not many crystals, not clearly named *2021-05-19, version 1.0.2* This app has maybe 20 crystals listed, all the most basic knowledge is presented. Severely disappointed. I gave 2 stars because the images for each stone were aesthetically pleasing, but don’t waste your time with this app if you have any knowledge of crystals. It’s no benefit. ### 3/5 — I like this app but needs more *2022-07-08, version 1.0.2* I like this app and use it often, a great source while in a rush, but it needs more! More crystals and stones, more attention! It makes me sad this hasn’t been updated in years ### 3/5 — MORE PLEASE!! *2022-06-09, version 1.0.2* i love this app, simple and beautiful. but there are many more stones i would that i would love to be able to click on. give us more <3 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great job on the game! *2023-03-24, version 1.0.2* This is an amazing app. It’s helped me so much with my craft. But I would reccomend adding more crystals every so often! Some people have had to resort to research online which online cannot always be correct. ### 5/5 — I think the writing shines brighter than the stones! *2022-09-20, version 1.0.2* The minimalistic layout maintains the visual focus on the stones, which are, of course, elegant eye magnets. It is the high quality writing, however, that makes this a stand out addition to my phone. Each stone is accompanied by a concise but thorough description. The app cultivates a positive vibe in just a few moments. Don’t be stingy! Share some gemstones with your friends! (It’s easy with the share feature) ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP *2022-04-04, version 1.0.2* This app motivates me so much to buy Crystals so THANK YOU❤️ (Btw you can buy Crystals on Etsy!) ### 5/5 — Add sapphire *2022-02-09, version 1.0.2* Please add sapphire ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-12-28, version 1.0.2* So a just got back into stones and stuff and this helped me alot! ### 5/5 — I love it 😩! *2021-12-19, version 1.0.2* I love y’all humor , the app entirely is so perfect , I’m at a loss of words :). ### 5/5 — Greatness Abounds *2021-09-30, version 1.0.2* I love this app so much, can’t wait for more additions to the library. It’s so beautiful, well executed and well written in its simplicity. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2021-08-27, version 1.0.2* I love the images and all of the information in this app, I have learned a great deal from it already and pulling out every time I find myself in a crystal shop. It would be great if you could create a section where we can log our own collections, or favourite the gems we love. The layout is gorgeous and I’d hate to see that change but this really has the potential to be an amazing app. ### 5/5 — Good but a few problems *2021-08-18, version 1.0.2* I like this app but I had a suggestion. Could you maybe add Turritella, Rainbow Hematite, Black Chalcedony, and Tourmalinated Quartz? I bought them at the umbrella factory in ri and was looking for the identification. Or a description. That would help. This app is good with the selection of crystals they have and the quality/service of the app but it would help if there was more selection. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-06-22, version 1.0.2* This app is amazing I love it so much and it really helps. I do have a few suggestions though, there should be some crystals that people don’t know about like crocodile jasper which is known to be super helpful with plants. This is overall a great app and I love it so much --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
