User reviews

No longer functions

Controls are non-responsive. I’ve tried on an iPhone 15 Pro Max (17.3.1) and an iPad Pro (11-inch) (3rd) (17.3.1).

Doesn’t work

Downloaded and started okay, but no orbital overlay on screen and controls for quantum numbers didn’t work. Pity as it looks like a great idea and I was looking forward to using it for teaching.

Essentially Unusable.

No instructions or explanations of what the scaling and contrast do or when to use them. Found it difficult to have the orbitals appear and impossible to rotate them when they did appear.

The second worst app on the internet

It crashed. I deleted the app and then downloaded it again. It was still dead. It had entered a black hole and time had stopped.

Works and is pretty cool!

Properly visualizing and conceptually understanding orbitals is super helpful for Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry. With some added functionalities like orbital diagram bonding features, this app could really neat for undergrads to use while studying OChem or GenChem.
