User Reviews

HerbList is a searchable, easy-to-use reference with evidence-based content and offline access, praised for its concise presentation and stability. However, it suffers from incomplete coverage and shallow herb write-ups, with many herbs missing and a sense of bias toward pharmaceutical approaches that can deter use.

Pros

Searchable database that makes it quick to look up herbs.
Evidence-based, science-backed content with credible sources (e.g., NCCIH).
Easy-to-use UI with clear, concise information.
Offline access for use without internet.
Stable performance with no crashes.

Cons

Content is incomplete and lacks depth for many herbs.
Herb coverage is limited; many herbs are missing.
Perceived bias toward pharmaceutical/allopathic perspectives, with discouraging language about herbal remedies.

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.

I love this resource because it is searchable and has the science we currently understand about biological resources.

This ap is blank and appears to be loading but never can. I have an iPhone SE 2022 model and the most updated OS, I don’t think it’s compatible with newer phones.
