It taught me what textbook could'nt

I always had difficulty understanding mechanism and needed an interactive way of learning it. Now I feel more confident that ever! I wish I had this app earlier.

Underrated application that every chemistry student should have

I downloaded this app during the middle of my A levels and it has remained useful all the way up to second year undergraduate organic chemistry. I would recommend purchasing all the levels, it will supplement your organic chemistry learning. Most reaction mechanisms you learn will on paper will be available on the app. For ยฃ10 it really is a bargain. I just wish they made some more levels.

This app is absolutely amazing

WELL WORTH THE PRICE FOR FULL VERSION. I took organic chemistry 1 and 2 from a nationally recognized and feared professor in the US, and passed top of the class. I give a good amount of credit to this app in all honesty. The mechanics of the reactions are so perfectly designed to get the user to see how and why things happen in reactions. For example, the app forces you to show resonance stability in certain situations where itโ€™s helpful to understand that the reaction ONLY occurs because of the resonance stability. I recommend turning off the hints/goals option once you get the hang of things to really test your intuitive orgo skills. If you put in the work and invest yourself fully into organic chemistry, this app will absolutely help you understand and visualize reactions better. I also recommend going back to reactions youโ€™ve passed in this app and predicting products on paper before doing it on the app if youโ€™re using it to study. I love how the app is broken into sections like pi systems and carboxylic acid reactions. These are common sections that lecture based courses are often broken into as well. 10/10 love this app and I love organic chemistry more because of it!!!

Amazing app for those who are new to organic chemistry

I find this app to cover all bases in terms of basic organic chem with puzzles instead of flash cards teaching reaction such as substitution, elimination and Pi systems while teaching important ideas like formal charge and acidity ( both bronsted lowery and Lewis )
Would definitely buy again

Great design but where are the updates for paid users

One of the best organic chemistry apps -maybe the best- and the look is so nice which is why I bought the full version, but now I have not received any updates that increased the content, lessons, or features. Where are the promised updates that was included as a perk for buying the app? I'll change my rating is I get new levels like the feature list mentioned as an added value for the paid version.

No

This app is the worst thing to ever exist.

Not worth it

Horrible app, doesnโ€™t teach you anything. Too difficult to maneuver too. Not worth your time.

Might as well make it 13.99

There is no point of it being free because you need to pay to unlock the solutions

Foundation of something great

The work to make this complete is daunting but I have ideas that can make this a powerful tool and more enjoyable challenge. I reached out on LinkedIn. Please connect so we can have a conversation.

Game-ified organic chem!

This app is awesome and helped me understand substitution/elimination reactions when i just wasnโ€™t getting it. Explains when you move electrons incorrectly, and most puzzles have a video to help you if you need it.

My only wish is that there was stereochemistry as well (wedge/dash etc) because that is missing here.
