  • PDB Not up to date and app crashes

    Does not include an up to date listing of PDB Proteins additionally large molecules crash the app so it is completely unusable.
  • Crashes whenever I try to download most molecules

    Still as unstable as it was years ago. Super disappointing.
  • Fantastic! Thank You!

    Visually stunning, better than apps on the PC or Mac.

    Perhaps someday it can calculate energies and maybe even a backend server option for number crunching?

    Works from iPad 2 to iPad Pro. Tim Cook must be mad.
    Efficient and artistic.
  • Current version crashes

    Crashes on opening. Probably a temporary fault with an otherwise useful app. Hope it’s fixed soon
  • fantastic

    amazing!I would like to give 100 dollar for this app. Just hope the developer would keep updating this app. Great!
  • Huge Bonus

    Oh wow, they just added search for PubChem that suddenly let's me view small molecules, and with surface turned on with the electrostatic (or binding properties) view option, I can *see* an estimate of the real character of drug molecules. This is certainly the best visualizer out there for the iPhone. It's so far too slow to make surfaces for large proteins though, on an iPhone 5. Still, it quickly helps me better understand each week's biochemistry headlines since most reported studies already have sent their structural results to the Protein Data Bank.

  • needs better depiction of electron density

    The dots style depiction is not very useful. please incorporate mesh surface like in coot. Thank you
  • Keep it up

    Excellent app. Love the ability to superimpose structures quickly and easily. Would like a more detailed manual either in app or a link to an online version. Looking forward to future updates! Worth the 0.99c
  • Good for viewing on the go...

    This viewer is good for having a quick look at a protein structure. The rendering is simple, but generally clear. 3D manipulation is intuitive. Not as flexible or powerful as full modelling packages like PyMol. Surface depictions are simplistic and not really useful for interior pockets. But overall, it is a useful app for checking out structures quickly. Well worth the 99¢

  • The best viewer for biological molecules available

    I very rarely write reviews, but this app proved good enough that I felt compelled to write something about it.

    I am a computational chemist, and ever since I bought the original iPad 1, I've been looking for a good program for visualization of biological molecules in the iPad. I've even purchased a couple (one of them > $10.00), but this is by far the best one I've tried.

    The PDB interface works flawlessly. I could load an enzyme directly from PDB very quickly, the program already chose the best visualization (and it was really good), located and pointed active sites, ligand molecules, chains, etc., showing them in a very nice way.

    Easy to use, functional and **very** lightweight and fast: I still use the original iPad 1, and I could load, rotate, zoom in, zoom out in no time at all, no lag, no freezing.

    If there is anything to complain about is that I didn't find an easy "rate it" button in it, so I had to open the apple store, find purchased programs, etc, to rate it.

    Oh, requests for future releases? VGA output would be awesome. (yeah, I'm on the iPad 1...)
