Crashes when adding R groups

Very easy and useful app
I was wondering to draw chemical structures for my research and this app is tremendously useful for me.
Thanks so much developers.
Thanks so much developers.
Very difficult to use
The GUI is not user friendly. Please have a look at ChemDraw and ChemDoodle and try to implement some of their features.
I got this app as it may
help me down the line should I ever have to convey something to someone revolving around structures.
Cool Idea But Unresponsive
Maybe I need a more powerful iPad than a Mini, but I found it to be pretty unresponsive. I'd like to check back in a month or two when they've polished it up a bit and responded to customer feedback.
Creative arts
Brilliant addition to the iPad workload. I am upgrading my initial response. This is clearly a creative application and the most full featured molecular drawing app. I enjoy some of the others also, but I think the developers here have the most motivation, and have put more original thought into this.I hope they will be encouraged to continue with their vision......

Fantastic !
I use this for all my structure drawing needs now - desktop applications are so expensive and actually harder to use than Chirys Draw. Developer is very responsive. Improvements to the app keep coming.
If you're a student, or a lecturer like myself, and need to draw quality chemical structures, then look no further. Exporting features make it easy to create a structure, then email to yourself for incorporation into a Powerpoint, Keynote, Word or any other sort of document.
Highly recommended, and well worth the cost (much cheaper than desktop apps and for most purposes just as functional).

Must-have App for Chemistry Students and Profs
App now allows saving images of drawings to camera roll (among other options). That feature is a great improvement over the previous version.
This is the must have app for all organic chemistry students and profs.

Export image resolution is poor
Don't think that you are getting much more than a doodling toy at this point. The image export options mentioned by an earlier reviewer, I can live with those. What I can't live with is the poor resolution images that are exported. Furthermore, the images are also of the entire canvas, rather than just the section you drew your structure on.
The concept is great, the drawing implementation is good, but the file export options keep this app from being a Chemdraw replacement for someone who wants to go tablet only. For the price, I would expect a whole lot more, but until I can get publication (300+ dpi of a selected portion of the canvas) it is not worth the $25. Fix those problems and you have a five star review.

Excellent app for chemists
A fantastic app for drawing chemical structures and in a very neat way with gestures. The structures produced are very stylish and the app looks great too. The best feature is that you can export the structures into a format that can be imported into desktop drawing programmes - ideal for sketching ideas when your travelling and only have your iPad.
I had some problems with the structure exporting but I received excellent support from the developer who responded to my query within hours and identified the problem - I wish it was this easy with all apps.
You might think it is expensive for an iPad app, but if you consider it as a professional too I would say its definitely worth it. I highly recommend this to other Chemists.

Fast And Intuitive
Very fast and easy to use, once you know the gestures. The online help and videos at the web site are very helpful. Better than paper and pencil or a whiteboard for sketching. MOL file importer/exporter handled everything I threw at it.
A cool app..!!
The best application for structure drawing....!!
It isn't ready yet
To be absolutely fair it is very easy to draw molecules with this app but the problem is the price. It is well over 10x the cost of the other chemistry drawing app, chemjuice, and at 2.99 it is just as funtional with respect to drawing AND you also have access reaction/equilibrium arrows.
To bring this app's value to the $50 mark the developers really need to make very large improvements in functionality. It should be able to do the following:
1. have broader access to the periodic table
2. be able to draw reactions, equilibria, resonance arrows
3. have access to various templates/formats that include:
a) molecule templates
b) conformational templates
c) supramolecular templates (re: chemdraw)
d) formatting options for various chemistry journals
e) (not necessary but nice) apparatus for chemical reactions
4. color options for more than just atoms
5. basic IUPAC algorithms for naming simple compounds
6. basic algorithms for turning simple structures into IUPAC names
7. molecular properties outside of formula, weight, and combustion analysis - mass spec with isotope patterns could be a nice addition
For $50, the developers have to substantially bring up their game because at the moment all I can say is: Don't buy this app, use Chemjuice grande.

Powerful and excellent use of iPad features
Comprehensive tool to create chemical drawings, if a bit pricey. Makes excellent use of iPad finger gestures. As a result the generation of even the most complex chemical reaction schemes are fairly straightforward. Some more features would be nice but it's early days and already as it is the software works very well.

Awesome interface!
This is the single best iPad application that I have ever used (not to mention one of the best structure drawing programs on any platform). Chirys Draw really nailed using gestures to design and manipulate structures. The app is an awesome example of harnessing the spirit of the iPad. I was up and drawing complex structures in 30 seconds. The interface is clean, intuitive, and so very well designed. Beautiful output too with the important option of mailing the drawing as a structure file. Six stars, anyone!?
