Amazing app. You are the BEST!

Both of your apps, The Elements and Molecules, are absolutely the BEST and well worth the money.

Words can not describe...

This app is amazing. I know its expensive, but if you can, get it. This app is really just marvelous. I can not describe even close to the extent that I love this app.

Terrific educational program

The quality of this app is incredible! This is my favorite app on my iPad. Thank you!

Dont waste your money

Buy elements in action.

3 Star

Good program, but needs to Arabic language and to support the Middle East this good and important information

Awesome!

This app is amazing! If you want this app for the interactions, dont get it. The book, on the other hand, is amazing! It is very informative and interesting. Im not sure I would pay $14.99 for it, but I got the sale price of $2.99. Sooo worth it!

It’s ALIVE!

Most molecules apps I’ve seen don’t make things nearly this digestible or as fun. They usually have cold/dead models of molecules, but the interactive, living, dynamic models this provides completely changed how I viewed molecular structure and made it so much more fun and interesting.

IT NEEDS BETTER EDITING

I DO LOVE THE STORY “MOLECULES” TELLS AND THE GRAPHICS ARE VERY NICE INDEED. THERE ARE TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS I SAW WITH THE APP. ONE IS THAT THERE ARE SOME MOLECULES THAT ARE TOTALLY WRONG IN HIS LIBRARY. TETRAHEDRANE, THE CHLOROPHYLLS, CYANOCOBALAMIN AND POSSIBLY OTHERS HAVE INCORRECT MOLECULAR STRUCTURES. IT IS NOT CLEAR HOW THEY WERE GENERATED BUT THEY CERTAINLY WEREN’T EDITED BY A CHEMIST. I AM CONCERNED THAT SINCE THESE OBVIOUS ERRORS WERE NEVER EDITED AND FIXED THAT THERE MAY BE MORE IN THE FILES OF MOLECULES THAT HAVE INCORRECT MOLECULAR STRUCTURES. THE SECOND CRITICISM I HAVE IS THAT THE INORGANIC MATERIALS ARE REPRESENTED AS A SET OF ATOMS IN THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA IN SOMETIMES A RANDOM ORDER AND NOT THE SOLID STATE STRUCTURES (FROM THE X-RAY STRUCTURES) WHICH CAN BE SHOWN QUITE NICELY IN THREE DIMENSIONS. IF THESE ITEMS WERE FIXED I WOULD CHANGE MY REVIEW TO 5 STARS.

Nice and neat!

This app looks amazing and very interesting that I will make this review! This app is very super, that this is the best of luck. Better then the elements! Lovely chapters! Add 15 more chapters! That is just the best app Ive ever played with! Please make molecules in action! That app is the best!!!! Do not add more languages! That app was super fun and is not bad! Best app!

Fantastic

Absolutely fantastic app. The book is well written, and the interactive simulations are fantastic. I love how they are integrated with the book. I use NAMD (which is actually running the simulations) for my research. Being able to interact with these molecules on through the touch screen is incredible. The app has style. Its fast, intuitive, and altogether awesome. A hell of a lot of work went into this app and it shows. Highly recommended for all.

Great app

Wonderful! Accessible and educational while also very interesting. Well done!

Exquisite presentation and witty commentary.

This is a sample from the book discussing the molecule coniine, the poison in hemlock: "...This poison was famously used to carry out the death sentence against Socrates 2,400 years ago. He was convicted of failing to properly acknowledge the official gods, and as is often the case, the science of the herbalist was called on to carry out the dirty work of the priests and politicians, whose native power is limited to empty words." <-- A very GOOD point indeed. The whole book is peppered with this sort of wit, so not only do you get an incredible addition to Grays interactive table of the elements, with its accurate simulations of the vibrations of molecules in femto-second intervals, but you get some much needed scientific critique of American societys backwards, demon-haunted worldview.

Very disappointing

Honestly, it feels like the dev copy/pasted info from Wikipedia, put it in an app with a cool color scheme and overpriced it shamelessly. Its essentially a trivia app full of info you could get elsewhere but priced as though it were a professional/educational tool.
