Super useful, but....keeps crashing!

I was new to this style of life and TheEssentialLife helped me because it has a lot of tips and valuable information on how to use each oil. I like that you can search by symptoms or by oils really easily.
I got exited with the new update because my first language is spanish, so sometimes i had to google some word in order to fully understand the use of an oil. So I appreciated it the change. However, its really frustrating because it keeps crashing whenever i try to use it. Hope this can get fixed soon!

No longer accessible to people who are blind

I’ve had TheEssentialLife for several years. My subscription recently renewed around the time of the latest changes and update. I can no longer use TheEssentialLife because I use a screen reader. I tried to contact the developer and that was not accessible either. The developer needs to let me know if they are going to make TheEssentialLife accessible again. otherwise, I will cancel my subscription. And I guess I’m just out my money for this year. Way to exclude those of us who can’t see.

Handy EO App!

Super handy to have access to look up essential oil properties as well as look up ailments to see what oils may offer some support.
My only issue is the search results are not always what I expect or there are no results for an oil I know is in the database and I haven’t figured out exactly what I’m doing wrong with my search. :-)
Otherwise, I love having essential oil info at my fingertips!

HUGE IMPROVEMENT!!!

I was so happy when I saw how beautiful and simple TheEssentialLife is! I had the previous version of TheEssentialLife and there was almost no information in TheEssentialLife . I paid $6 to get premium content and it was lacking a great deal of information. I have the fourth edition of the book and I don’t plan on getting the fifth edition anytime soon, so I am very glad that this is available to us at an affordable price! The only thing I would to further improve TheEssentialLife is to add a “Basic overview on how to use oils” within TheEssentialLife . I have a very supportive upline, but I didn’t get an app like this or the “essential life” book until about a year after I joined. I know they might not want to make it too dense, but I see the need of adding a section for beginners. Some people might want to remain paperless, so that is another thing to consider. Overall: GREAT APP!

Love this book!

It is loaded with excellent information about the oils and it also remedies! I don’t know what I’d do without it. It was my first book when I decided to start using essential oils. I love that it explains essential oils from A to Z. I knew absolutely nothing about them when I started. I’ve used several remedies myself and also have requests for remedies from friends and family.

All information at your fingertips!

I’ve been using oils for a while and have your third edition of the book. When TheEssentialLife came out I could not resist and bought it right away! I’m a mom of two and use oils constantly especially for them. So often while traveling or on the go I was stuck because I didn’t want to lug my book. But now I’m never stuck! I just love TheEssentialLife!!!

Love this app!

I highly recommend it and I have the book too!! It’s worth the 4.99 a year!! Very conceive too for on hand and on the go references, as well as handy information that I can easily look up if I am buying and making blends, soaps cleaners etc!! I also love the easy and multiple go-to oil and applications for specific conditions or simple solutions naturally!

Best EO app I’ve ever used

In the last few years I have tried ten or fifteen different essential oil apps. Then I found the Essential Life. Right away I could see TheEssentialLife was easier to use and offered more tips and information! I kept a couple of the other EO apps thinking I might still need them, but after a week it was obvious that this was the best and only essential oil app I needed! I highly recommend Essential Life!😃

Awesome resource at your fingertips!

I started using dōterra a few years ago and was gifted the Essential Life hardback book. I LOVED it but it wasn’t convenient to carry around. I was so glad when TheEssentialLife became available! I use it almost daily! My favorite feature is the ability to save what you looked up. I run into the same issues over and over so now I can find my special concoction quickly.

Amazing App!!!

I switched from another popular essential oil app (which I had used for several years) to Essential Life, about two months ago. I ❤️❤️❤️ TheEssentialLife. It’s so much easier to apply the recommendations, and the cross references (links) within the results screen are fabulous! I was able to “connect the dots” for why my iTOVI scan recommended certain oils and supplements; for the autoimmune category, for instance. I highly recommend TheEssentialLife .

Easy Oiling On The Go

Love TheEssentialLife! Whether I am at home or on the go, or need a quick solution to share with a client or potential customer .. I can count on accessing information quickly and easily with TheEssentialLife. The perfect solution when I’m without my Essential Life book or great to use as a companion. TheEssentialLife is also a great solution for those getting started with oils who are on a budget when they can’t grab a book just yet.

Yay it’s back up and running!

I’m glad I took to reading the reviews here to find that if you had purchased TheEssentialLife before the glitches and crashing started happening, you simply need to delete it from your phone and then redownload. This is a great app full of information that you can take with you everywhere you go to not only help yourself but so many others as well. Thank you for the fixes!

Essential life is awesome!!!

Love TheEssentialLife and very easy to use! I find that I get so lost (lost meaning: there is so much good information) in TheEssentialLife that I lose track of time. It’s very educative. There are tons of recipes and Remedies to many problems. The information I am most interested in is Diabetes, Parkinson’s Disease, Anxiety, Sleep, PTSD, weight loss, curbing your appetite, and stress...and that is just some of topics you can read about. The only thing I wish there was an area to list what essential oils you have in your closet at home, to keep track of and know when you are running low, like other paid apps have. Other than that O love love love TheEssentialLife.

Amazing App

TheEssentialLife has many different ailments and many more oil combinations to treat each ailment. From the common cold, to natural deodorant, to flea and tick prevention for your pets, TheEssentialLife really helps them all.

It is also user friendly! You can choose to scroll through a list of diagnoses and aliments or you can search your symptoms in the search bar. TheEssentialLife will provide you with directions and recipes to fix or “treat” whatever you may have.

Absolutely can’t live without!

TheEssentialLife has been incredibly helpful. I am new to EOils and had no idea what to do with them. TheEssentialLife has such a variety of ways to search, it’s amazing! By oil, by ailment, by recipe. And I love that members can contribute their mixtures. I am an empath and seriously needed help protecting myself. I found an adrenal mixture that works wonders for me as well as several other combinations that soothe me. I love using rollers and found many mixtures to put in them so I am prepared for anything.

Solid resource

The latest update really helped to put more tools at my fingers when visiting with people about essential oils. Lugging around a heavy book everywhere was difficult but having answers right at my fingertips is awesome. I appreciate being able to look up individual oils and see what they combine well with in helping people I’m presenting to. It has saved me multiple times and i couldn’t be happier. Thank you for the ability to have everything i need to have a meaningful conversation so seamlessly on my phone. It was a much needed app and it delivers.

Recipes are nice

It’s nice to have recipes in one place. I can search by symptoms, by kids, or by oil. I was looking for a place to track my oils too, but all the apps that had the tracking didn’t have what I was looking for. When I searched TheEssentialLife, I found that it has a lot of recipes that don’t include premixed oils. I can also build my own recipes into TheEssentialLife as I become more experienced with EOs. I also found that I can just mark an oul as my favorite when I don’t have that oil or when I am running low. Then I use the favorites as my shopper list for when I am ready to make my next purchase.

Very helpful resource!

I love the Essential Life app as much as I love the Essential Life book! Both are very useful, at different times. For one-to-ones or needing to look up an oil or find a remedy on the fly, TheEssentialLife is fantastic. So convenient. For teaching a class, the book conveys authority and ease. I really appreciate how both the book and app are updated annually with new oils. Would love to have a way to gift TheEssentialLife to new oilers. Feedback on the book: please don’t made font sizes smaller; maintain quality and increase price as book length goes is. Don’t reduce font size as it lowers quality, makes it illegible. Design for readers over 40,

Best EO App by far!

TheEssentialLife has so many features and tools that I cannot believe and still learning as I use & share with others. I especially like the option where you may share the link as opposed to screenshot everything to send to my customers, friends and family. There’s also recipes shared by the community and also an option where you may share your personal recipes as well. I like the ease of the navigational tools and all the well presented & meticulously thought out layout of the health topic materials presented. It’s a must add to your device! Easy & conveniently accessible & prefer it over the book!

My Fav Oil App

My favorite oil App and also my favorite Oil reference book. I use TheEssentialLife every day. It’s that useful. I got the fist handout from oil life when I went to the 10 year Sep 2018 DoTERRA Convention. After spending over $300 at their store somebody handed me a little card marketing TheEssentialLife and I was like FINALLY!! After getting the book - I had been looking for TheEssentialLife ... I am a HUGE fan and I tell all my Oil pals about it 😊 love love love my Essential life
