### 1/5 — Terrible

*2016-03-16, version 2.0*

Only once managed to drag something.

### 1/5 — Good idea but...

*2015-08-17*

Great idea, but I can't get it to work at all. Terrible lag and nothing will "drop."

### 1/5 — Bruh

*2014-09-29*

Why is this even an app?

### 5/5 — Help me a lot!!!!!

*2013-10-26*

I was having problems using the real deal till this came into the App Store. I'm in the eighth grade and it still helped me!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2013-10-11*

I used this ap last year and it was great- now it doesn't let you type in the number of subatomic particles to add, so you can't do anything! Please fix this! I've tried re-installing it, but it didn't help.

### 1/5 — Bugs prevent any use

*2013-09-22*

This app is buggy. Needs a fix. It won't let you add any subatomic particles at all which is the entire point of the app.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work with ios 7,,

*2013-09-19, version 1.0.1*

Can no longer add numbers.

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2013-02-04, version 1.0.1*

Is this beta version? Seems like someone released software that's half baked.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2012-09-26*

Gives you no way to add electrons proton or neutrons. Screen says "Drop to Add" but there's nothing to drop anywhere. There are no instructions on how to use this app which is why the title is Worthless!  What a complete waste of time. Deserves negative stars

### 1/5 — Not helpful

*2012-02-03, version 1.0.1*

This isn't an helpful app at all, slow performance, and pointless.
