### 5/5 — Спасибо создателям

*2020-03-14, version 1.1*

Лучшее, что было в моей жизни. 
Всем советую

### 5/5 — Good practice for o chem

*2014-07-18*

I like this app. It gives you a lot of data so it is fairly easy to figure out the compounds on easy mode but you can challenge yourself as well. I would recommend this for college students taking organic chemistry to get practice with interpreting NMR and IR data.

### 1/5 — Please update

*2021-09-04*

I have the non IPad Pro something, bigger screen than before, the point is that it won’t let me even try to ply it, it says it needs to be updated to work on this device. I’ll try figuring out exact model and put that in the review so you can hopefully find out why exact;y it won’t work. I would love to play it

### 1/5 — Tried to contact developer

*2020-08-18*

Great little app but is crashing on current iPadOS. After pressing check answer the app does.... nothing.

5 star app if it was working right.
Hope the developer is able to fix it.

**Developer response:** Hi, I'm the new developer of this app. I've just released a new version which should fix the compatibility issue with newer versions of iOS. I hope you like it!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-06-13*

Great concept but freezes at check answer so you don’t even know if your answer is correct. Also, it doesn’t give you the integration value at HNMR (unless I can not find that info anywhere) making it hard to determine how many H are in each environment. Don’t bother downloading.

### 1/5 — Crashes every time

*2020-02-16*

The problems are good, but every time I tap “check answer” the app freezes. Edit: clearly the developers are no longer working on this app because tapping app support takes you to some stupid blog about auto insurance.

### 1/5 — Mistakes

*2014-04-27*

There are a few mistakes in the answers

### 3/5 — Oi nice

*2016-05-03*

Very nice very good i like it

### 3/5 — Decent

*2014-04-28*

Not a bad app, could do with a range of minor improvements as well as expansions in questions - it needs a high school/university option to vary difficulty and to be accurate for VCE if possible.

### 4/5 — Needs updating!!

*2021-08-10*

Help!! I use this app all year long with my various classes. It needs updating as it won’t run in current iOS. Please update so we can continue to use this great chem resource.

### 4/5 — Needs a note section

*2018-10-15*

Overall, very good but a section to record notes would be appreciated

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-09-16*

Tuff

He has commited Academic Misconduct in the HSC

### 5/5 — Really good

*2024-09-13*

It’s really good, but don’t let this distract you from the fact Thomas Savundra has uploaded all of the Knox Google Drive to Studuco

### 5/5 — WOW

*2024-03-02*

This is going to REVOLUTIONIZE my development!! I only use it for a short while and feel it is absolutely wonderful.

### 5/5 — 5/5

*2023-06-15*

Very gender inclusive

### 5/5 — Updated and works again

*2022-06-12*

Happy to see this app redeveloped and working again, great for my year 12’s to practice their organic chemistry

**Developer response:** Hi, I'm the new developer of this app. I've just released a new version which should fix the compatibility issue with newer versions of iOS. I hope you like it!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2022-05-29*

Simple, easy to use app. Works great even on my old iPhone 6S.

### 5/5 — Not supported by IOS 15.4

*2022-04-12, version 1.1*

Please upload a version that works with IOS 15.4
I liked this app a lot but after I installed a fresh IOS it stopped working and said you need to renew the app for it to regain working

### 5/5 — Thanks a lot

*2020-06-23, version 1.1*

This is the best “game” I ever had on my phone) Would be great if you added more spectrums

### 5/5 — Amazing learning tool

*2020-05-06*

While the app has a few bugs in how it displays spectra, and it could use a couple of extra features, I’m giving it five stars as it fills a niche so perfectly well.

I’ve been using it for a year now and it’s absolutely helped me not only with my analytical skills, but also with my organic nomenclature and functionality practice.

Thank you for making this app!
