Pros and cons of About Herbs app for iPhone and iPad

About Herbs app good for

Id like for you guys to extend the search function. Instead of only being able to search by name, why not have it to where you can search by use too? Simply have a premade list of uses and when someone clicks on a use, itll show the herbs that are used that way. Other then that, its good.
Provides Research-based Studies to Help Guide decision-making for BOTH professionals and consumers. Thank-you SK!❤️
I am thrilled someone finally made this app, it was very much needed and they did a great job!!!
I cant believe this is the only guide I found!? They have done a great job and is vast and informative.
Honestly love this app. The huge selection of herbs and the detailed information about them is amazing. A+

Some bad moments

I used the app weekly for my studies and out of interest, and am very fond of it. But the newest version makes it useless, since it crashes every time I try to go to a remedy/therapy...
Love this App! Very informative and different than any app I have seen.
I use the website a lot! Now its really just better. I can look up useful facts on herbs a button away. Great info and thanks!!
Great app. Tons of useful info on herbs. Now I can read about all kinds of herbs on the train.
It is a nice app to have on your device and comes handy occasionally.
Good for looking up stuff, but hardly encyclopedic. There are many plants and herbs missing that hopefully will be added in future releases.
