Features of the Modern Essentials App
Click on image to enlarge.
 There are numerous ways you can use this app to find the information you need. From the home screen, you can look up a condition or an oil by either using the search bar at the top or by tapping on the figure to the left. Just tap the figure in the area you are wanting information for, and scroll through the menu that pops up to find the appropriate condition. The “Search” button on the bottom of the screen will bring you back to this page. |
 If you click on the “Conditions” button on the bottom of the screen, you will be taken to the conditions page. This represents highlights from the Personal Usage Guide section of the book Modern Essentials and contains the primary (red) and secondary (orange) recommendations. Scroll through the conditions by spinning the thermometer at the top of the screen. You can easily hide or view the thermometer by tapping the blue bar at the top. |
 By clicking on the “Oils” button on the bottom navigation bar, you will be able to look up information about a particular single oil. This section represents highlights from the Single Oils section of the book Modern Essentials. Spin the oil bottle at the top of the screen to look up a different oil. You can easily hide or view the oil bottle by tapping the blue bar at the top of the screen. |
 The “Usage” button will take you to a series of pages providing basic information about the topical, aromatic, and internal applications of essential oils. This section contains some information provided in the Science & Application section of the Modern Essentials book. Under the Topical section is information on Massage, Direct Application, Reflex Therapy, and Auricular Therapy. The Reflex Therapy page and Auricular Therapy page contain their respective charts. |
 Under the Aromatic section is information about Diffusion, Direct Inhalation, and All-Day Aromatherapy. Many of these information pages in the Usage section contain pictures or videos to demonstrate the topic. The Internal section includes information on Oral Application, Vaginal or Rectal Application, and Cooking. Included on the Cooking page is a recipe for Luscious Lemon Bars! |

Where do I go to purchase the Modern Essentials App?
Download the app today from iTunes (for Apple devices) or the Google Play Store (for Android devices).
Now you can have key information from Modern Essentials with you wherever you go!
Any chance the app will also be updated to include the new oils from last year and this year??
Hi Tiffany,
We’ve built a completely new app that is now available in the Google Play store and should soon be available in the App Store. It includes the new oils along with new functionality and additional content. It’s called Modern Essentials® Plus and you can find it for Android here.
So, if we previously purchased the app, we are unable to get the updates without purchasing it again?
Hi Mary,
Because of significant changes we made to the app and changes made by the app stores we were only able to release this as a new product rather than as an update to the existing app. Also, because of the way the app stores work, there is no way for us to tie this back into the previous app so it is necessary to purchase again.
I bought some oils as a gift and would like to purchase the app for her to download on to her iphone. Can I do that from my phone and then send her the purchased app?
Hi Raina! To send the app as a gift simply open the app in the App Store click the button with three dots at the top of the screen and select “Gift App” from the available options and complete the required information.
Apple makes gifting this awesome app so easy – how can I gift to my new team members using Android devices???
It doesn’t look like you can gift an app to a friend through the Google Play store. Unfortunately, the only thing I can think of is sending a Google Play gift card.
Is modern essentials app available for windows PC ?
Victoria, it is not currently available for windows PC.
When will this be available. I have a SurfacePro 4 and would love to have this app.
Melinda, unfortunately, we don’t know an exact timeline for when this app will be available on a windows device. I’ll let the app developers know of your request.
Is this app going to be updated with the latest oils? The most recent oils I have on my version is from 2015?
There should be a update for the 8th Edition of Modern Essentials (2016). Unfortunately, we don’t currently have any news on the 9th Edition update of the app.
Hello!, I have been using the app for a couple of months and I love it! Unfortunately, it is blocked since yesterday and I cannot enter . Where to ask for help?
You can email our app support at [email protected] or try contacting the app store (Apple App Store or Google Play Store) that you purchased the app from.
I was charge twice for downloading the app on my phone. Can you help?
Unfortunately, that is not something we can help with. You will need to contact the app store you purchased the app from (the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store).
Can you please develop the app for windows mobile as well?
I have passed your request on to our app developers.
I noticed that we can modify the name of the blend on the app. I figured that out (hold down the name on the main menu), but after I modify the name and press enter, it disappears by the time I go back to the menu again. What am I doing wrong?
Hmm…that might be a glitch. I’ll pass this information on to our app developers. Thanks for informing us of this issue!
Are I phones IOS compatible?
Yes
Hi,
I purchased the app for my iPad and love it! I would like to download it on my android phone as well. Can I download my original purchase to two devices or do I need to purchase it a 2nd time? Thanks.
Because Android and Apple use different operating systems, you will need to purchase the app that correlates to each operating system. So, because the app you purchased for your iPad uses a different operating system than your android phone, you will need to purchase the app (again) for your android device. If you had an iPhone and used the same Apple ID for both the iPad and iPhone, you could just download the original app purchase on both since they use the same operating system.
Got it. Thanks! 🙂
I purchased this app last month and have received another charge for the same amount on our cell phone bill. Please advise. I thought the app was a one-time charge not a recurring.
The Modern Essentials App is sold through the Apple app store or the Google Play Store, not through AromaTools. The app is a one-time purchasing fee and you shouldn’t be charged multiple times. If you believe you were charged twice for this app, I would suggest you contact the party you purchased the app from (Apple App Store or Google Play Store) or your cell phone carrier to see what the second charge is for and if you have been double charged then Apple or Google will need to refund you for the extra amount.
When will this app be available for Windows phones?
The Modern Essentials App is not currently available on a Windows phone and we do not have a date for when it will be. I will pass your request along to our app developers though!
Hi Is the app available in spanish?
We are currently working on a Spanish translation of the app and it should be available soon.
Can you purchase the book as an e-book? Not the app but the hardcover book that you can download onto an iPad, kindle, kobo or something.
Modern Essentials is not available to purchase as an e-book at this time. Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll be sure to pass it along.
When will you have an e-book from Amazon that we can use? It would be great to have an electronic version of Modern Essentials that I can pull up using my Kindle so help people.
We are working on getting the app on Amazon for purchase and use on the kindle within a couple days. You can actually download the Modern Essentials app for Android devices if you first download the Google Play Store app on your kindle, then purchase the Modern Essentials app through the Google Play Store.
Is there a way to add what the blend oils contain so people can know the doterra oil it refers to, plus adding the blends to the list of oils they can look up. Is there anyway to add the other doTERRA products to the mix. It just seems we are missing out on so much with the app compared to the book. 🙁 I really want to be able to send all my new people to the app, but can’t yet.
An update will be coming very soon that includes the blends. If you have already purchased the app, just be sure to download the update when it becomes available.
If I change my phone from an android to an iPhone in the near future, do I have to repurchase the app again?
Unfortunately, you will need to purchase the app again since Apple devices don’t support Android apps.
Ok, now that I downloaded it……the info can not be “shared.” Is this feature at the top of your list to create? I sure hope so. Now I am glad I have A-Z Guide App….it is textable to others.
Jeanne, that is a great idea! I will send your suggestion along to the app development team. If you have any more ideas or suggestions for them please feel free to send them to [email protected].
FYI, I purchased the A-Z Guide App for $9.99 per year and doesn’t have anywhere near the info the ME app has. I am excited to download! Thanks for creating it.
Thank you for all the useful information provided on this site. Excited for the update to include the blends, glad to know it is FDA regs that have required you to remove blend names from your publications….that one had been a puzzler…now it makes sense….I have my Davis’ Drug Guide for nurses as an app and use it constantly so this will be awesome to have a quick link for oils reference instead of always calling up everythingessential.me. (Love that well researched website too). Y’all are awesome….Keep up the great work.
Will wait for the blends to be added. Use them more than anything else. Hope it will be added soon
The blends will be coming in the next update to the app which will come out sometime this month!
What good is the blends section if you are not including the trademarked names of the doTERRA blends?
Included in the blends section is a way for each individual to rename the blend if they choose.
Just purchased the New App ! I must say that I love it. Effortless to download & use. It’s a great tool to have no matter where you go. Knowledge at my fingertips . Well worth it !
I’m so glad to hear that you are enjoying the app. We think it is a great tool as well!
Im excited about the app but I would like to hold out on the purchase as I am new to the essential oil scene and most reviews that have been posted seem to intimate that the app update would be very helpful to new oil users.
Do you have a rough estimate when the app update will be available? Thanks
The update on the app will be available sometime this month. You can purchase the app anytime and will receive any future updates free of charge. So whether you purchase it now or later, you will be paying the same price and will not miss out on an update.
HOW DO WE FIND THE BLEND OILS FOR DOTERRA ON THE APP? /WHY CAN THE NAME BE GIVEN?
The blend oils have been given a generic name in the app. In order to comply with FDA regulations, we have chosen to remove all trademarked names from our apps and publications.
Is there any way you can add to the app. a business portion where you can enter a contact name/info & notes of what they need etc.? Looking for something that incorporates the business side of things. I found an app. but it is for another oil company so that doesn’t help me 🙂
Great idea! I will send your suggestion along to the app development team. If you have any more ideas or suggestions for them please feel free to send them to [email protected].
Is there a version in Spanish?
The app is currently not available in Spanish, we are always open to suggestions. I passed your request along to our app development team.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Please ask them to do a version in Spanish!
I would like the option to share text or emails about specific oils and their usage instructions from the app. Sometimes you can’t be face to face, or when you are out and about and you sample someone, it’s a great way to get their contact info and be able to follow up with them.
Thanks for your feedback I will be sure to forward it to our app developers.
Can I get this on my iPhone?
Yes, the app is available for iPhone. You can purchase it in the Apple App Store.
Does the app have all the information contained in your ME hardback book?
Tonia, the app does not contain all the information in the Modern Essentials. The Modern Essentials has 6 sections: Science and Application, Single Oils, Oil Blends, Wellness Supplements, Essential Living and Spa Products, and the Usage Guide. Out of these sections, the app has a condensed part of the application section, the full single oils section, and most of the usage guide section (it only lists the red and orange—primary and secondary—recommendations). We are hoping to include a oil blends section in a future update. The app is designed to accompany the book as a quick on-the-go reference, but we still recommend having the book at home to reference the rest of the information.
Do you plan to add the oil blends?
We are working on including a blend section to the app in a future update.
The blends are VERY important to me as well! thank you!!! I love the app! Also, any chance of putting some dilution info there- ( I tend to have a hard time knowing how many drops EO:FCO for rollers!) Or maybe every roller is the 1:10 ratio? I don’t know! Lol. Maybe a section saying Use 1:10 for rollers, 2:5 (of Pest blend:water) for bug spray, add 2:10 for gel base, I dunno? These are the things I struggle w most, the ratios… BUT I love the app! VERY WELL DONE (as long as blends are added- I LOVE my blends!!!) THANKYOU !!!!
I’m happy to suggest to our app designers that we include dilution information in a future update. Thanks for the suggestion!
I would be interested in seeing dilution info as well. Even if it is only included in the Common Applications section as “Dilute to a 3:1 ratio and apply to reflex points…” Don’t some oils require more dilution than others?
Susan, thanks for the suggestion! I’ll be sure to pass it along to our app developers!
Is this a reoccurring fee each year or a one time fee?
It is a one-time fee.
Your new app looks GREAT! Is there any way to add in what oils you share with ea different contact? That would make this app PRICELESS!
We are working on an update that will allow you to add notes to your copy of the app.
Does the new ME app require internet to use it?? I would like to download this info but don’t always have internet when meeting with persons I’m helping.
Once you have downloaded the app, you do not need an internet connection to use it.
Great! Please provide an app for Amazon Kindle. Thank you!
We will pass on your suggestion to our app design team.
Will this app work with the Windows Phones?
Unfortunately, it will not work on a Windows Phone.
$6.99 is awfully expensive for an app! and I keep getting error messages when trying to purchase. never had that happen with anything else.
We felt like that price was reasonable in comparison to the amount of information this app contains. The app is being sold directly from the iTunes and Google Play stores, so I can’t help you with errors at checkout.
This is great news….thx
Will the updates from version to version cost another $6 or will they be free?
At this time, we plan to offer the updates for free.
awesome!
Hey iv got a surface 2 which is Xbox apps I can’t seem to find a way to download
The app is currently only available for iOS or Android devices. To download this app to one of these devices, simply go to the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. Search for “Modern Essentials” or “AromaTools” and click to buy (or download if already purchased).
