  • Does not allow custom subscript or superscript lettering not preset

    This app does not allow for superscript or subscript lettering that has not been predefined. Possibly useful for chemistry only representations.

    It is limited to Unicode subscripts and superscript. If you can find one that is useful, I’d consider adding it. —glenn
  • Very Except …,

    Why isn’t the symbol for Fluorine (F)
    either on the keyboard or in one of the two lists of elements below the keyboard??
    I know fluorine is just one letter - but you have the others either on the keyboard or beneath it. The alphabetical list with the “F” elements has Fe and others - but alas no F.

    I put all the halogens under the Cl button. I tried to make elements accessible in order of (in my mind) their likelihood of appearing in a formula. So carbon, oxygen and hydrogen get their own buttons. Chlorine, fluorine, bromine and iodine are under one button. While sulfur, boron, nitrogen and phosphorus are under one buttons. All the other elements are placed in the two big lists. I hope this makes it fast for most people, but obviously if you have to type Hg a lot it will be non-optimal.
  • Seamless

    Once I installed the app and reset my phone (I read a previous review that said resetting could fix they keyboard not showing up in certain apps, and it works) this app works well and makes it easy to find each element while typing. I haven’t had any issues with the keyboard loading slowly like it does with other apps. Great deal!

  • Good app

    This is a good app, well priced for what it is, I find it very helpful in conveying math and chemistry equations, however one suggestion I would have would be the addition of super/sub script signs such as →
  • Very nice

    Great little app that respects privacy and actually follows through on its functionality.
  • Great :), some suggestions

    Finally, a super helpful app for my typed chem notes!

    I do wish the upper scripts were a bigger font size, such as the negative signs. Otherwise, it’s not super noticeable on my notes even when I’m close. If I skimmed through it, I’d probably miss the negative superscript because it’s so tiny. This is from a Notability typing POV w/ Verdana font style and size 10 for notes. (My headings are size 13 and the negative upper scripts are still too small to be easily noticeable.

    Other than that, the keyboard fits the screen and was very easy to figure out. No regrets with my purchase. Please consider my suggestions!! Will fantastically help me :)

    Thank you!

    Thanks for taking the time to review. Unfortunately, do to the way I deal with text, by inserting Unicode characters, character size is entirely up to the font being used by the current app.
  • Great app. Just make sure to restart phone

    I primarily wanted this app to make superscript notes on my monster levels in Pokemon Go. However, the keyboard globe wasn’t initially pulling up Formula Keyboard - Chemistry Keys in Pokemon Go like it was in Messages/Mail/Notes etc.

    I’m not sure what solved my issue – whether it was deleting and re-downloading Pokémon go or restarting my phone in between, but works like a charm now!

    Also, Glenn is an extremely responsive and awesome developer. Know that if you ever run into any kind of problems he’ll
    be right there to help you through them!

    I think you are mistaken about what “Full Access” means. Regardless, I do need to update the keyboard. Sorry about any misbehavior I could have avoided.
  • Does what it says

    extremely helpful in math and chem classes, especially if u want to make quizlets on your phone/ipad. Very easy to use subscripts ₁₂³⁴. U can add it to your keyboards to use in any app. Appreciate the app

    Love to hear it’s helpful to people. Thanks for the review.
  • Super fast equation typing

    Recommended for anyone who types a lot of chemical equations and formulae. I am a chemistry teacher and this has significantly improved my workflow.
  • Thank God (or Glenn)!

    Nothing else has worked for superscript and subscript. To get symbols, I’ve had to add and toggle through many keyboards. It’s early days with this app, but I couldn’t be more pleased with it (once I figured out that holding down the key unlocks super and subscripts). I you are often typing science, this hugely helpful!
