4/5Some things are missing.
Got this so I wouldn't have to use the actual book to look us symptoms and what EOs to use. It doesn't always work, recipes missing or incomplete.

5/5Well organized information
Love this app. Guide to the colors symbols etc.- there is a ? mark at the top left above oils and personal care that opens the key guide to letters, colors etc. Also, about 10 or so years ago Rosewood was on hold due to being scarce (endangered, maybe?). Young Living created a blend that when mixed very approximately and proportionally contained a replication of the many constituents contained in rosewood EO. Since inspiration contained rosewood, this might be why other oils appeared on the labels after this blend was substituted for rosewood. I think the blend had geranium, maybe spruce, not sure what else. Idk if there are updates to this app for such, or for new oils as they become available. I know the disappointment when an oil is not in the app. I do like that the app retains a lot of info from the old days that seems lacking in other resources. Also a plus that there are research study references. Searching pub med can bring up many more and recent studies. My teacher taught : if an oil smells good to you, your body is telling you you need it. If an oil doesn’t smell good to you, your body is telling you you really need it! As in, something might need to be brought into harmony and balance, as often an oil starts to smell better, after awhile, for people, than it did originally. Peace be to your days.

1/5Horrible and misleading
This is the first time I have ever left a review for an app. I purchased this app to be able to use it for skincare and recipes. After paying for and downloading the app, I click on the recipes to browse through it and it says I have to purchase another app to access it. Same with the skincare. What a waster of money, as if money grows on trees these days and we can afford to keep purchasing these apps! Don’t buy this app! If I could give it zero star rating I would!

3/5Needs updating
This app has served me well for over 5 years however, there are numerous items on it that Young Living no longer produces. It would be beneficial to have someone go through all of the items to delete those at are no longer available. There’s no sense in researching items that are not available.

3/5Love this...but
Life 5 has been long gone for a few years now. Update to Life 9. Contact link and Report a Bug link in app don’t open and are unavailable. I pay 9.99 for app subscription and would expect the links to work. I do appreciate you’ve updated with supplements. FIX YOUR LINKS FOR PAID SUBSCRIBERS!

- All 4 product sections have been updated for products available from Young Living as of June 2026. - New products have also been added to the Guide section under applicable conditions. - All 4 product sections have also be standardized for uniformity of content and presentation, bugs fixed, and functionality improved. Essential Oils listed for Blends, Supplements, and Personal Care products are all now tappable to take you directly to the individual oil detail page. - A new designation of NCA has been added for products that are "Not Currently Available" with an NCA label showing on the product image in the lists and on each detail page. These are products that have been discontinued or were seasonal products only. Products that are shown as "Coming Back Soon" on the website were not given the NCA designation. Tapping on the NCA label will bring up an explanation window. - Product images were updated to better reflect the type and primary color of the packaging.
