  • Not bad

    The idea behind this app is fantastic and it is similar to the yenka chemistry program that I use with my science classes. Unfortunately the range of reactions is far too limited. For instance copper sulfate + lead nitrate = copper nitrate + lead sulfate but in this app nothing happens. Therefore its biggest strength as a method of investigation and experimentation is lost.

    Not much added with the latest update. Unfortunately most of the chemicals don,t do anything. They just sit in a beaker, totally unreactive, since there are too few recognised reactions for them to do anything. This app has great potential. It is currently unrealised.

  • Awesome!

    As a chemistry student in his 2nd year, this app is fantastic! It has some great potential (i.e., the addition of more equipment, such as reflux apparatus, distilling apparatus and addition of alkyl group compounds). It is already really good though and the only app / program of its kind. Well done on such a unique and original app! Love to see more updates :D

  • Amazing App

    This app is incredible, and is really useful for my schoolwork. A lot of effort must have gone into making this app, and it's definitely worth the £2.99. Really hoping more updates are released in the future!
  • This app has been destroyed!!!

    I use to love this app, I would have given it a 5 star rating any day of the week. Unfortunately I can no longer give this app a 5 star rating and I'm revoking 4 of those stars.
    Why you might ask?
    Because the app is completely unusable!
    I'll be more specific, just so the developers will know what needs to be fixed in this once great app.
    Well I'll start off with the fact that when you drag any piece of equipment to the lab, the equipment menu stays open and you have to click off the menu just to close it.
    Second, when you try to pour any chemical (lets say h2o, as an example) into any piece of equipment (lets say a beaker) instead of pouring the liquid (or any solid/gas) the bottle shows nothing being poured into the beaker (not only does the animation fail, but also the beaker literally has no contents according to the content labelling (eg. moles/weight/temp/molarity) there is nothing in the beaker after attempting to pour any chemical). Also not only does the chemical container not pour anything, but it also freezes in the middle of pouring something and the container will just stay there, frozen on the screen and there's nothing you can do to get the chemical container to disappear. Not only do the chemicals not pour and the chemical containers freeze in the middle of attempting to pour a chemical into all equiptment, but you also can't even interact with the any of the equipment menu's. For instance, you can't use tubing because when you click on "tube" the tube appears but when you try to drag it, it doesn't move at all! When you try to click the "remove" or "clear" button, they don't work or even disappear to show that you even pressed it. It's as though the screen doesn't recognize 90% of your actions...
    Another thing is that you can't use any of the tools such as the pH strips, thermometer, match, ect...at all!

    I'm incredibly disappointed by this programs incredible amount of bugs, it's as though these bugs were put in on purpose!
    Why do I say this? Because I've never seen so many bugs be programmed in on a single version update, nor have I seen a program be rendered so inoperable and completely disabled as I've seen this program become!

    They should apply to the 'Guinness book of world records' or 'Ripley's believe or not', because I've never seen such a wonderful program become such a piece of crap in so little time!!!

    Honestly, at this point I'm pretty much ready to ask for my money back, because I payed money foe this app and it's one of the few apps that I was willing to pay for, but I'm very disapointed with how the developers managed to destroy such a wonderful program that I loved to use, into the mess that it is right now!!! Please fix this monstrosity ASAP!!!

  • Sometimes laggy... But otherwise good and accurate

    I was playing this game on my brothers ipad and I was like this is good so I downloaded the app and thought lets read reviews but there were none so I am writing one now. First the negatives:
    Sometimes it laggs and I have to exit the app close it and go back in.
    Positives: The app can teach you and the effects are quite accurate.

  • Fantastic!

    Honestly, this app is amazing! It's really realistic with so many fun experiments that you can try. I always hated chemistry but this app has made chemistry fun and interesting for me. Of course, there are still quite a few bugs that need to be fixed to bring the app to its full potential. Especially with this new update. Once the bugs are fixed, I will give a full five star rating. This app is fantastic, and totally worth the money! Buy it now!!!

  • Chemist

    This is a pretty good app. I enjoy using it and playing around with it. Wide range of substances, can't wait to see more added.
  • Brilliant

    An amazing virtual lab, great for revision or just fun. Graphics and actions are nice and work well to help make it look more real. Would recommend this app for any budding scientist , the only thing is its a bit short on equipment. Also the reactions of metals such as magnesium with water and metals like potassium are not as they are , they skip out the bright lights and stuff. I would like to see these sort of reactions added . We'll I rate it 5/5 brilliant.

  • Good, but needs more equipment

    I like the app, but I can't add any substance of less than 10 grams, which is silly because in real life I'd be using values like 0.50 g of Mg (for example). Also, I'd like to be able to control the mol/L of the mixtures. I don't necessarily always want the standard molar of a solution. Lastly, the equipment is good, but I'd like to see some more things like maybe a calorimeter, or larger flasks, etc. a good app, but needs more!

  • There is a bug

    There is a huge bug on the app which doesn't allow the chemicals to go into the beakers or other containers, please fix asap.
