Wonderful app - please update!

I am they chemistry instructor and this app is immensely helpful for teaching about orbitals! PLEASE update it - it no longer works with iOS 11!

Beautiful

Love this visualization tool!

Buggy

But it's not like there are any other applications that give hydrogen orbitals

Excellent

It would be perfect if the app fills the iPhone 5 and 5s screen.
It is only for 960x640 optimized.

And maybe it can show more eigenstates like the iPad version.
The new ios Hardware should have enough power.

Crashes

Pretty cool, but it crashes every time on my iPod Touch.

not as good as the desktop app

The desktop application is unbelievable. This iPhone version doesn't do superpositions (hybrid orbitals), and doesn't do the "slice" view that I like so much either. It does rotate "with gravity" though, which is neat.

Crashes!!!

Crashes on my iphone4. No response from developer. Boooooo!!

Beautiful physics visualization!

This app takes the desktop version and brings it to iPhone, and it's just as spectacular! If you teach physics or chemistry, you NEED this app!

Atom

Great app! Most people have no idea what atoms actually look like mathematically. You can even add more shells and electrons for more complex atoms. Worth the 4.99

Physics is Gorgeous!

This application awes any viewer with its beautifully rendered imagery, elegantly capturing how the quantum mechanical universe is symmetrical and unquestionably pleasing to our aesthetic natures.

The equations show the intellectual depth and inspiration that moulded these ideas, from Bohr, Heisenberg, Bohm, Pauli, Dirac, Feynman, Schrödinger, Fermi, Einstein, Yukawa, Rutherford, Landau, Klein, Gordon, and the many other countless names that have contributed to quantum mechanics / quantum field theory, a triumph of humanity's tireless efforts to comprehend nature's music.

Regardless of your experience with Lagrangians, wavefunctions, eigenvalues, and the many mathematical structures that illuminates the ideas of quantum mechanics, this application will enhance a student's imagination and very probably inspire curiosity to continue learning the physics behind these dynamic images.

best app ever

seriously.

Needs to upgrade to iPad size!

This is a wonderful app that I will be sharing with my class. I would really like it to have been developed for the size of the iPad's screen size though.

Solid app, but really overpriced

It does as it describes.

Fun app

Very cool program, and actually fairly useful too. The program shows psi as a magnitude and as a complex function with phase represented by color, which is useful for understanding chemical bonding, among other things. Not to mention it just looks really cool, even if you don't know exactly what it represents

As for showing psi squared, there would be no point; it would look almost exactly the same as the black-and-white version. The depictions of wavefunctions in chemistry textbooks are stylized to be easier to visualize and draw overlapped (see Silberberg 2009). This program shows what the electron densities actually look like.

Awesome app

This really is an amazing program. Mr. Godfrey showed it t us in AP chem and it was really cool to have a 3D model of what would normally be difficult to visualize. Great job. Only thing is it's awful expensive isn't it?

Superb

Never again will I need to consult another chart for spherical harmonics formulæ.

Schick, aber teuer und ausbaufähig

Zur Simulation der Wellenfunktionen des Wasserstoffatoms ist dies ein sehr nettes kleines Programm. Zwei Kritikpunkte habe ich: Zum einen ist das Programm zu teuer dafür, dass man eigentlich bloß etwas zum ansehen erhält, es aber nicht "produktiv" ist, man also keine eigenen Daten damit generiert. Der Preis ist auch deshalb hoch, weil es das Programm schon vorher für den Mac gab und der Code wahrscheinlich großteils wiederverwendet werden konnte. Zum zweiten vermisse ich die Möglichkeit, Hybridorbitale anzuzeigen, die es in der Desktopanwendung gibt. Das wäre eine wirklich sinnvolle Erweiterung! This is a nice small app for the simulation of hydrogen wave functions. I've got two complaints: Firstly the app is two expensive, since you just get something to look at but nothing "productive", meaning you can't generate your own data. The price also seems a little high since the application was available for OS X before and the code was probably reused. Secondly I miss the possibility of calculating hybrid orbitals which is present in the desktop app. This would be a useful extension!

wirklich interessant

für physikinteressierte eine überlegung wert!

Amazing

This would have been a great aid for when I was taking QM!

IMPRESSIVE!

Truly unique and thought provoking...
