Cargill would be proud!

Cool app, a little basic and tedious to keep adding protons, neutrons & electrons in order to "create" and view info on each element. Then I got to fluorine and it said under uses: "fluorides are used to prevent tooth decay." Ha! I was completely disgusted. Here was a scientific app perpetuating the myth of fluoridated water. Fluoride is toxic, accumulative in the body and causes fluorosis of the teeth and bones. It is also derived from the hazardous waste of the phosphate fertilizer industry--Cargill being the largest. Yummy! Drink up sheep!

I'd like to be able to bond atoms to make molecules and have reaction energies. This is a good start

Grate

Spectacular game very educational and I love it play it a lot 😊😊

Intuiitive exploration

I think the app could do with some more explanation/guidance regarding why certain isotopes are stable while others are not, and what governs the shell that electrons preferably "localize" to (quantum superpositioning aside). These are points of curiosity I would have liked to explore further. However, the interface is simple and the visuals are beautiful. Overall a great, intuitive way to explore the structure of the elements. Well done!

Cool app! Decays could be better though.

I have the full version and some elements are tricky to get. It would be nice to be able to turn the decay on/off. Also, it would be even more than 5 stars if the decay chains were more accurate (i.e. alpha and beta). That would be tough to implement though.

Overall, great teaching app!

Buggy

I played the game up to lead and after that All of the elements that I have unlocked have been unstable and I can't seem to fix it

nuculaer

the app I've been looking for for ages

Great work

First of all I would like to thank the app's creator for such a great job.
But there is one or two bugs that need to be worked out.
As I saw in a another review I also agree that alpha and beta particle decay should be added to make it a more realistic experience
I am only 13 but I love this app and I am hope for more great updates and apps from you guys:-)

Magnificent, in every sense of the word!

Anyone looking into this application should note that there is no other app like it. There is Atom in a Box, but it charges two dollars for not even half of the functionality that this application has. But even if there were apps of the same type, Nuclear is of the highest caliber, giving a detailed, interactive look at atomic structure. Truly one of the best apps ever created!

Nuclear reactions a little wonky

Though the app is pretty interesting I do have a complaint about the decay modes. I understand it would require a lot of work for the decays to be correct but when a nucleus is neutron rich it does not decay by expelling a neutron, but instead does a beta decay.
I think that this detracts from the educational quality.

With that aside still a great app. Nice price for the elements below technetium.
