  • Good, but not great

    Like all the apps by Touch Press, this is a fairly polished app. The videos are fun to watch once or twice.
    It is nice how there is a button to quickly swap to the main The Elements app, and another button there to swap back again.
    However, the content itself is not very deep, and not particularly great quality.
    It would be nice to have more than one short video per element, eg if there are a couple of different interesting reactions for that element. And even then, not all elements have videos.
    The videos feel like they should have just been an in-app purchase in The Elements. This would save having two apps, with identical layouts.
    The videos are not professionally shot. The chemistry might be interesting, but it is not particularly well shown.
    And the text explaining each video could be a lot more detailed, proving a deeper explanation of what is going on.

  • Well worth the price

    This app is beautifully designed. There are videos for many elements on the periodic table, not just common ones like carbon and aluminum. Watch a pure alkali metal explode in water, a lead ball float in a bowl of mercury and francium oxidize before your eyes. Educational and fun.
  • Nice app

    Anyone complaining about the lack of videos (there are 72), only 92 of the elements in the periodic table are found in nature. And so the missing elements are either inert and therefore boring, radioactive and dangerous, or man-made and incredibly expensive. I suspect the missing elements wouldn’t make for very interesting videos.

  • Cool App

    I'm glad someone finally did that. I say it's every bit worth it's money. Excellent job on the app.
  • Cool

    Very cool app, would like to see more videos
  • Not all there....

    This isn't bad but not all of the elements are there, some are "greyed out". When you try and touch them nothing happens. It doesn't even tell you what it is.
    So I'm only giving it 2 stars for that reason. It's missing a ton of info, or another way of looking at it is that it is only half done..
    $3.99 is to much for a half done app.
    What I think they want you to do (to fill in the greyed out elements) is to buy a second elements app. That one is $13.99... Lol
    Actually they just lost another star.... I'm down to 1 here.. May sound harsh but really make one app and I will buy it.. Don't start breaking it up and make me spend almost $20 to get all the info that this app should have had.

  • Nice concept, poor execution, waste of money.

    More than half of the videos are inaccessible. There's real rhyme or reason why. It looks like there is available content but the item is grayed out. Specifically, 36 videos are non-functional. The ones that are look like they were filmed with a cheap 8mm back in the 80s. Lesson learned on my part -buyer beware on yours.

  • Great element app!

    This app is great for studying elements and has awesome videos of them reacting to other stuff. It would be nice if you made a way to enlarge the actual element photo and look at it in three d like your other app. But this app is a must have for people who like explosions and the science behind it!😜

  • Bravo!!

    Très très belle application.

    Il y a longtemps que je n'avais pas vue une application aussi intéressante et captivante.

    Bravo!
