Latest reviews of Medicinal Plants and Drugs app for iPhone and iPad
The app always crashes when you try to look at Solomons Seal and St. Johns Wart. I actually emailed the developer about this long before writing a negative review. Why hasnt anyone fixed it? Also, the info for the plant cleavers is such crap. It gives you the definition for the friggin kitchen utensil, not the plant. It doesnt seem like any care went into writing this app. I will change my review if this app ever gets updated. For now, dont waste your money.
Why are the pix of only a portion of the plant? Why only a flower and not leaf or a pic of the entire plant?! Also, theres no definitions of the medicinal terms. Support goes to an iOS app developers site with nowhere to get help for this app. The "i" button in the app gives a disclaimer of liability rather than any help or definitions. Basically this app is a pretty regurgitation of many older printed herbal guides.
This app has some good info, but is incomplete; it doesnt even have common food-grade herbs like sage or cardamom. Also, there are ads, which are unacceptable in a paid-for app. Ill probably delete it and try a better one; save your $$.
I loved this app until the GCP popup ad prevented access! Every time the app opens the popup appears and wont go away when I hit the big red X in the upper right corner. Instead it opens the app store. (I tried to contact Space-O support but they want too much personal info just to send an email.) So, the Space-O programmers are cutting customers off from their own herbal app! What good is a great app if it wont open to use? I guess they want us to quit using it. OK, Im deleting this crazy app right now and will be sure to avoid Space-O apps in the future!
Well made app. Clear and concise information. Please add more content.
