Modern Essentials® Plus is Here!

Our long-awaited app upgrade is here—and worth the wait! Of course, we’ve added all the new 2019 essential oils, but there’s so much more. In fact, Modern Essentials^® Plus is a complete app makeover for an amazing user experience. Here’s an introduction to just a few of the fabulous features and how to use them!

First, your options. You can simply download the “Basic” option for a one-time fee. Or, you can add a “Full” subscription at a low monthly or yearly rate for added features and updates.

Available now from the App Store and Google Play.

Let’s look at some features that both “Basic” and “Full” share.

 dōTERRA^® Brand Names (They’re back!)

• Basic: An easy editing feature changes generic product names to brand names.

1. On the home screen, click on the blend icon  on the right side of the content wheel.
2. Then, for example, pick the Anti-Aging Blend at the top of Essential Blends (pictured upper left.) Or, use the vertical alphabet strip at the far right to choose another generic blend name.
3. Tap-and-hold on the generic name itself until a window appears. (Don’t check the box.)
4. Tap once to the right of the generic name, and then backspace to erase it.
5. Now type in the dōTERRA^® brand name. Again, for example, change Anti-Aging Blend to Immortelle (shown above left).
6. The new brand name will appear in the list and everywhere else throughout the app!
7. Your Essential Blends list will re-alphabetize to reflect the new brand names (pictured upper right).

• Full: All generic names are changed to dōTERRA^® brand names automatically.

(Because of government regulations, this feature in English is available only in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. “Full” subscriptions in other English-speaking countries—including Australia—must use the “Basic” tap-and-hold editing feature.)
