What's the point?!

No multiple orbitals. No info on the elements. You might as well google a picture of the table of elements, it's the same thing. You can drag around the drawing of the element in an open area, but why? It's pointless. Nothing happens...

Cool

Nice fun representation, but needs a little more information.

Cute, for younger learners

This app has cute visuals, but it's not of much use to anyone in a high-school or greater chemistry course. Works well for what it's designed for, which is likely capturing the interest of younger children and helping them to see that science doesn't have to be dry.

Really good

It's so cute! Just a few suggestions though. Could you please add a next and back to start button, it's a bit time consuming having to go back to the periodic table and find the next thing you want to go to, and it makes it easier to memorise elements. And you could add a new feature to let us do something other than dragging the element around, then that would be awesome  Otherwise, I really like this app.

Pretty great!

Really helpful fun and easy to use but i dont get what all the criticism

Awww

I thought they would be able to react with each other.

Cute... but it doesn

I'd have liked if you could combine elements and see what happened. How did they react? Did they become more or less stable? If you put several of the same element together, are they dense? Or do they float away? :) I suppose for a free version, it is fine though. The art and style is cute. I would definitely buy a version that did something like my suggestions above.

Not bad!!

This is a very simple app which I recommend to those learning the elements!!

Some constructive criticism would be to have an small button on the top displaying more detail to each element!! This will keep it simple and be of more use to more advanced users!!

Good work!!

Pros and cons

Although it's cute, it would be nice to have the Bohr and Lewis models and to be able to see the different interactions between two (or more if possible) elements.
Also, I don't know if I'm missing something, but I don't really see the different personalities. Sure, they look a bit different at the beginning, but they don't really have different personalities. They should have personalities or animations according to their element.
Ex: Lead you could pick up and drop because it would be heavy. Oxygen you could tap and tap and it would inflate like a balloon, then pop after a certain number of times.

Awesome

It's a cool app and it helps alot with chemistry class
