Pros and cons of Modern Essentials app for iPhone and iPad

Modern Essentials app good for

I love the app but I dont see some new oils like petitgrain and spikenard. Will there be an update?
This app has extremely useful for me! Yes, it can improve with the blends but it does pretty good! This is the only app I have paid for this price! I am VERY frugal! I dont regret one bit or cent spent!
Love this app for anyone just starting out using EOs or those who are more experienced.
I find myself using this often when I am away from home or other reference materials or if a friend has a question about a specific oil or condition that may be supported by oils. It is not as comprehensive as the books, but I find it easy to read and follow and great for the first go of information seeking. Does as I have hoped and expected. Essentially you click on an oil and it lists propteries, historical uses, common primary uses, common application methods, and safety data. If you click on a condition there is a brief definition of the condition and then a list (in order of suggested use) of oils to support said condition and brief advice on how to use them. It gives me what I need information wise and I find myself using this app weekly if not more often
I love this app. Its always available when I have a question, or when someone asks me one. The only thing Id change: add a way to make notes on things it doesnt cover, or record oil blends Ive created.
Its got tons of info- oils, blends, body systems, DIY, etc. right at my fingertips. Its a wonderful resource! 1/3/17- just wondering if/when the app will be updated with new oils info (e.g. Spikenard and Petitgrain)?

Some bad moments

THE BLENDS HAVE NO INSTRUCTIONS AS TO HOW MANY DROPS PER OIL. THE ESSENTIAL OIL LIST IS VERY SMALL. ONLY THREW RECIPES TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. DONT BUY!!!
Im furious at this app. I paid money for it and it stopped working. Ive only used it 5-6 times. I had used it twice a few hours ago. Then, I attempted to open it again. It only goes to the first page. It says to tap on the page to open it, but no amount of tapping does anything and there are no arrows or anything else on the page to get it to advance. I looked to see if I needed an update, but didnt need one. I turned my (less than 6 months old) cell off and rebooted. It still wont work. Any time I pay for an app, I expect it to work!!!
Hello I love this app but it needs to be updated! I paid for this app & use it daily but pls update ASAP! I will not give a 5 star till its updated cause I dont think you will pay attention to my review if I give it 5 stars! Thx
Updates from the convention are excruciatingly slow. Cold frozen tar is quicker This app started out good but so many restrictions have made this among the other really worthless apps, they havent updated for a year so dont waste your money.
I should have paid attention to the other reviews but took a chance. Big mistake! It worked the first time I opened it even though it was glitchy... after that some features on the directory no longer appears. Such as the links to actually USE the app. Basically it is totally useless now. A waste of $7 too. Just DONT BUY IT!
Love this app. Its my go to for all my essential oil questions! So convenient to have on my phone where ever I go. The only thing that would make it better is having the quick reference chart thats in the back of the book somewhere like the usage part.
