  • Wors app ever

    I want my money back
  • Thought I got the whole thing

    Very educational but I have to pay 15 dollars for full information and the full 118 elements
  • Cool app

    The Elements in Action is the periodic table come to life. It describes and displays the characteristic properties of each element in a live video. This app takes full advantage of the iPads abilities, and it is very impressive from not only an information viewpoint, but graphically also. Not all elements are displayed however, and I hope to see them mentioned in future updates. Paired with its sister app "The Elements" - the two together are phenomenal. There are unsecured links to the app store, but I would recommend this for older kids who love natural sciences. I am downgrading 1 star due to the app being incomplete at this writing.

  • Interesting

    Worth a flick through
  • Pretty good

    This app has worked well. While I would appreciate a little more information, the videos are pretty cool and provide a great general picture. I would definitely recommend this app.

  • Hey kid

    Dude they are blocked out because they either exist for seconds or illegal to own! Great app
  • Good overall

    Interesting app worth the money overall. I do think it could do with some more features though, like an actual periodic table (the one in the app isn't true to scale) and the ability to enlarge the static pictures of the elements that rotate in the top corner. It's clearly a polished app but I was disappointed by some of the videos, which looked quite amateur.

    Finally, anyone expecting the videos to show chemical reactions will be disappointed. A few show reactions but most are just videos of cutting the metal with pliers, or using a meter to test radioactivity. None of the videos for the most reactive metals, like caesium and francium, show reactions.

  • Super cool

    I think I learned more in 20 mins with this app then in all of my science classes in high school. Missing a few of the elements they seem to be greyed out but im sure theyll fix that up in no time.
