### 3/5 — AirMix not working

*2026-02-17, version 2.4*

As an amateur chemist, I find the inability to use AirMix highly annoying. It would really benefit me to be able to use AirMix in my experiments. Please fix the app so that it can be used with full functionality.

### 3/5 — Please make a dev tool panel to add chemicals.

*2026-01-29, version 2.4*

Some chemicals have to be created by a long series of reactions, like [Ag(NH3)Cl], and also, please make nitrogen triiodide more stable, because it explodes instantly, unlike reality, where it explodes after being lightly touched. (Devs, I understand that this may be a hard request to fulfill, but can you use the accelerometer on the phone to explode NI3, with about the same amount of force required to split a sample of a compound in this app, rather than an instantaneous explosion?) Also, the ZnS bug needs patching, among other solid state reaction crash glitches.

### 2/5 — Missing some basic reactions

*2025-01-11, version 2.4*

Like the tile, H2O2 + MnO2 can’t get O2. For me , I only need the basic reactions in junior or high school experiments. And the reaction data need to be accurate

### 2/5 — Right now please!!!! And you better!!!!

*2024-08-14, version 2.4*

You better make it to where you can air mix with iPad mini 4. if you do then I’ll update it to a five star rating!

### 3/5 — Airmix install button not working

*2024-08-10, version 2.4*

I want to install airmix but when i press the Install button it won't work, please fix this

### 4/5 — 整体还可以，整理了几点问题

*2024-05-12*

首先就是贴图可以增加一些，没必要这么多的药剂都用一个贴图。另外这么多颜色的液体作为水没啥用，说是药品吧又不会参与反应。还有就是各种莫名其妙的bug，比如长时间加热固体就会有水冒出来，关掉列表后会卡死之类的希望能改一下，另外也希望可以增加化学药品和反应式的种类

### 4/5 — 关于烧杯

*2024-02-13*

烧杯这个软件还是比较不错的，里面能模拟许多化学的实验以及现象。但是也有一些问题，比如碳酸杯无法被酸分解生成气体。以及有一些沉淀无法正常生成。还有就是一些小bug。比如氢氧化钠和氢氧化铝会生成无限多的水，然后闪退。这个软件比较适合初中左右的实验，但是因为开发者跑路了，所以有一些像双氧水无法被二氧化锰分解的实验比较可惜。由于这个软件的可能本身的一个问题吧，导致高中的大部分实验乙方程式无法反应。沉淀无法正常生成的现象，所以总而言之这个软件可以作为一个半学习，然后大部分可以是用来娱乐的一个软件。

### 4/5 — Some unconsidered reactions

*2023-12-11, version 2.4*

Amazing app 9/10 but some reactions are unexplored, if you separate mercury from either of its compound and try to react it with gold or silver it won’t work unlike real life, also as far as I’m aware sodium carbide should be able to be made as we have both sodium and carbon but we can’t make it

Other wise this app is great, would recommend. I just hope the other possible reactions are added

### 4/5 — Класс! Рекомендую всем

*2023-04-10*

Хорошее приложение. Очень сильно помогает изучать химию, но список веществ маловат и некоторые реакции не показывает. Доработайте, пожалуйста 🙏

### 4/5 — Wish

*2023-02-25*

Dear developers! This app is really awesome! But I have a desire. Please add more organic compounds. I would like to carry out reactions not only with simple substances, salts and acids, but also with methane, propane, benzene, and other organic substances

### 3/5 — airmix

*2023-02-09, version 2.4*

my airmix doesnt work on my iphone

### 4/5 — 提出一些小建议

*2022-11-06*

可以增加离子来进行方程式，对于类似NaOH这些既可以固体也可以液体的物质设置两种形态都可以使用，希望能够让使用者自己去改变它的质量或体积这些，对于虽然微弱但依旧有发生的反应在显示出方程式的同时能够用小括号在后面标识出微弱反应，暂时这些，希望开发者能够看到并且适当采纳，这样可以更有利于使用者，特别是学生的使用

### 2/5 — I want Answers!

*2022-10-23, version 2.4*

I bought this Game it is super buggy and crashes more often than it should! I have tried to mix many of the same chemicals and it crashes everytime. I want my money back or a reply on why this app is so terrible.

### 3/5 — Cu2S

*2021-11-28*

Cu+S→CuSはバグで落ちます
2Cu+S→Cu2Sならできます

### 3/5 — Sometimes not very realistic.

*2021-11-13, version 2.4*

You should be able to precipitate silver chloride from a silver nitrate solution by adding HCl, but the silver nitrate just vanishes without a trace? Where are my silver ions? Balance your equations!

### 1/5 — App won’t work anymore :(

*2025-01-28, version 2.4*

I can’t open the app anymore. The app is up-to-date and looks like it’s working normally via the App Store. But when I try to open it, a white screen pops up for a quick second and then the app completely closes out. This app is really really cool when it works. I hope the developer can get it fixed soon. Once it’s works again, I will change my review to a five star rating.

### 1/5 — Небылица

*2023-03-27*

Половина реакций отсутствует, растворимые вещества не растворяются в воде даже под температурой. Просто за что я плачу, если в приложении про химию нет реальной химии?!? Позорище

### 1/5 — Isn’t working at the moment

*2023-01-06, version 2.4*

No fluids or solids are appearing after tapping or holding them. This is an error in a newer update.

### 1/5 — Can’t get air mix to work

*2022-05-17, version 2.4*

Please fix this I can’t click the button to install it

### 1/5 — Не запускается

*2022-05-06*

Купил приложение, а оно не запускается. Как быть? Что делать?

### 1/5 — Язык

*2021-12-05*

Как на русский перевести?

### 1/5 — Cash grab

*2021-10-27, version 2.4*

Waste of 99 cents.

### 1/5 — Boooo

*2021-10-21, version 2.4*

App was ok, not all the chems reacted properly, but they were close. Still not really right, but now it’s way harder to get the chems into the flask, and they still react funny. Please make adding reactants the way it was before.

### 1/5 — Bug-y and incomplete

*2020-11-01, version 2.3*

Several things:

-most reactions don’t occur.

-redox reactions cause the app to crash.

-synthesis of compounds not already included in the app does not occur.

In summary: a good start, but the app isn’t nearly through development.

### 1/5 — AirMix

*2020-10-27, version 2.3*

AirMix doesn’t work at all. Ages ago it used to work, I tried it with a relative and It worked fine but now it didn’t even seem to connect.

### 5/5 — Weird bug

*2025-01-25, version 2.4*

When I place something it immediately flies up to the top of the screen and dissapears

### 5/5 — Please make a dev tool panel to add chemicals.

*2024-11-08*

Some chemicals have to be created by a long series of reactions, like [Ag(NH3)Cl], and also, please make nitrogen triiodide more stable, because it explodes instantly, unlike reality, where it explodes after being lightly touched.

### 5/5 — круто

*2023-09-25*

топ приложение

### 5/5 — 有点小问题

*2022-12-06*

亲爱的开发者，我不知道为什么每次一点氧化铝固体和氢氧化钠固体反应时，这个体系会产生无限多的水，然后手机直接死机，希望解决一下

### 5/5 — 作为玩具还是不错的，但是有很多地方不到位啊

*2022-08-06*

一句话总结下来，除了酸碱相关反应和燃烧反应，其他基本上啥都没有。首先就是温度不同步，我先把硫单质烧化，再加水，却发现水和硫液的温度不同步，后来再加热，或者冷却，只有水的温度在变。然后气体不会溶解（就算加了盖子，再搅拌也不会溶解，像二氧化氮的溶解的连锁反应，像氯气溶于水生成次氯酸的反应等等等等。很多反应都没有，按理说双氧水会自然分解，但是我加上二氧化锰仍然不分解，同时活泼金属单质（强还原性）却不能和双氧水（强氧化性）反应，……。上述几个现象和方程式并不复杂，最高最高也是高中基础水平的反应。我一直是很喜欢烧杯的。拿到新手机第一件事情就是下载一个烧杯。咱们烧杯这么多年了，现在都收费了，不能只停留在初中吧？当然，不管怎么说，界面还是不错的。五星鼓励，加油改进。

### 5/5 — good but…

*2022-07-28, version 2.4*

i can get air mix to work

### 5/5 — weird thing i discovered

*2021-11-27, version 2.4*

molten metals act and look like water. they also never cool down.

### 5/5 — good

*2021-08-10, version 2.4*

install button doesnt work

### 5/5 — Atoms

*2021-04-24, version 2.4*

This game is the best science game! I’m interested in this stuff! One more thing though, when the substances are reacting I which you could zoom in and see the molecules! Can you make that updat?

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-02-07, version 2.4*

I love all the tools and chemicals in this app.
