Molecules by Theodore Gray App Reviews

Great app for iPad. Still crash from time to time.

This application, molecules, gives people, young and old, a view of the nanoworld educating you in a fun and magical way. I recommend this app to anyone who enjoys learning. By L-A Lobanov

This is a good app but it needs editing. When there are several molecules on a page sometimes they are not labelled and nit next to the appropriate text, and there are frequent right-left errors. (Sometimes when describing location of methyl groups.) Trying to spin images near the margins is too likely to change pages instead. Some text does not work in the iPad version ("table on this page" is actually on the next.) Display of page numbers would be helpful. Finally, I am surprised here is nothing more specific about stereoisomers, e.g., ephedrine and pseudoephedrine.

Very useful and illustrative app with simple explanations. Please add other languages!

I have a job that doesnt involve any science, so this app was an eye-opener. This app was well-written, humorous, but having a sense of wonder.

Absolutely exquisite and wonderfully written. Ive been a bioanalytical chemist for 17 years and I fell in love with molecules a long time ago but I also teach a chemistry of life course for non-science majors and my goal is to present scientific principles in a way that anyone can not only understand but also appreciate the beauty of. This book does that and more. And Im only on chapter 2.

This app is absolutely beautiful. This type of educational tool is going to revolutionize how people learn and think about chemistry. If youve ever wanted to touch and play with the physics underlying chemistry, this app is a must have.

It explains molecules and shows how they work, nice work on the app it must of took you a long time to write the book!

I went into this app with high expectations after the remarkable quality of "The Elements" and "The Planets." I was not disappointed. If anything, my expectations were far too low. The notion of an entire digital coffee table-style book about molecules seems a little odd, to say the least, but it turns out that its incredibly fun to manipulate molecules in scientifically-accurate 3D models. To look at the models of medications I take to understand better how they differ from precursor medicines, or to read about why two similar molecules have wildly different characteristics, is fascinating. And this book presents a lot of basic and important scientific knowledge in an engaging and surprisingly conversational tone. This is exactly the sort of thing that makes technology in general and the iPad in particular a must for schools and education. Magnificent.

I loved and then hated chemistry in high school. This book made me fall back in love all over again! I have never seen chemistry laid out this beautifully. Thanks for bringing good to this world

This is a great book but difficult to return to because it lacks a bookmark tool!?

The bookmarking problem seems to be an iPhone 6 issue. Works fine on the iPad, which is the intended platform. Amazing book, great app. The book is SOLID 5 stars, but the app lacks bookmarking. That makes for a looooooot of scroooooooling every time I return to it. When that gets fixed Ill update my review. If Im missing it feel free to call me out in public. Ive looked everywhere. Integration with the Elements app could be smoother as well (same orientation, etc) but again, that is a 5 star book.

This is an absolutely amazing book, well written, beautifully illustrated, and very engaging. It is a perfect example of what a book can be on an iOS device. There is one very irritating issue, that needs to be fixed: the app completely resets itself whenever I leave it or switch to another app. When I return I have to open the chapter again and scroll to my last position. That is very common because I flip over to Wikipedia a lot to explore some topics in more detail.

Thats the closest to "periodic table" of molecules. Actually this is a textbook, that covers the distance between chemistry and substances we see, use and depend on everyday. You can get more insights to the lower structure of world we are living in, both natural and urban. Please, use my money to translate Molecules into other languages. I was tempted to give 4 stars because it has no Russian translation, but your Elements app has good Russian. So I have some faith you are working on it. Apps like this one cover the last mile of scientific treasures delivery, contributes to the human culture and advance the whole world towards the better place to live in. Everyone should buy Elements and Molecules, but developers must make the first step over language barrier.

Im an 8th grade science teacher and this is the best chemistry book Ive ever experienced. It makes learning about chemistry, simple, fun and interactive! I love the relevant examples, humor, spinning objects, videos and especially the interactive 3D molecules! I just finished experiencing the whole book (notice I didnt just say reading, cause its so much more than that) and cant wait to share it with family and friends and get it into he hands of my students! Thank you!

Really nice book, very well done. I just started it but already a lot of neat things, wish I’d had this in chemistry class. The chapter on names by the way reminds me of an excellent book by Patrick Rothfuss, “Name of the Wind”. I’d like to see a few exercises or a way to test predictions - might need a bit more math for that I guess. As usual from TouchPress titles, high production quality and deep content.

Though my native language is Chinese, this new book by Theodore Gray and Touch Press is still astounding. 5 stars are not enough to say how good this app is. Hope Chinese version will come out soon! 强烈推荐大家看一看这个App，绝对大开眼界，虽然都是英文但是看看图片就已经是种享受了！

Not only is this app/book beautifully constructed, it helps users really understand the subject. I wish Theodore Gray had more apps like this for other subjects too. Bravo to Mr Gray and whoever helped him put this together, it is truly a masterpiece.

This interactive book is riveting. I can’t put it down and neither can my kids!

I never use this app anymore because it constantly loses my spot, which drives me crazy. Please please fix this ASAP.
