I’m very disappointed about this app as it offers nothing new to my current understanding about plants being used as treatment for various diseases. Of course, none of the information found here is useful towards treatment options for people looking for more affordable ways to treatment various illnesses and diseases. Why? Because America has been bought out by the pharmaceutical industry. You think if a drug maker found a way to treat the flu or hepatitis that is 1000 fold cheaper than what’s available in the current market would make that information available to the general public? Of course not! They’d be out of business and neither would they put the money towards very cheap ways to treat diseases because the pharmaceutical industry is business. Research in the United States is business, if there’s no profit motive to be made, why even bother? Welcome to the United States. The country where greed rules over the less fortunate.

For just about every herb included in the app it says, “There’s not enough evidence to show whether (insert herb name) is helpful for most of the purposes for which people use it.” I suggest the app developers look more closely at available and reliable scientific studies.

I came here from their Instagram account. I loved NCCIH’s Herbs at a Glance. It is very helpful. Only Trouble was I had to use my browser every time I looked up something. And it took time to load. BUT this app is even better! I can learn about dietary supplements, safety effectiveness etc. all in ONE app! It also lets me work offline (which is great because my i often don’t have connectivity in my supermarket and tags where I purchase most of my herbal supplements!!!!) thanks for this app NCCIH!

I have used a ton of herb apps as it’s easier to take a phone out into the field then all my books. I have found some apps being very useful but, this app is utterly disappointing. The information in this app is incomplete and seems extremely biased, if I knew nothing about herbs this app would definitely steer me away from using them… unless that is the goal… I would not recommend this app to anyone.
