### 2/5 — Good Idea needs better execution.

*2026-04-29, version 1.1*

I decided to try this out, but was disappointed. The way the DNA to RNA is translated does not match the rules. It is putting in both of the same nucleotides for DNA and RNA. When the nitrogenous base thymine is in DNA, the nitrogenous base uracil is supposed to appear in RNA. When typing the DNA sequence adenine is appearing both in the DNA and the RNA sequence.

### 5/5 — Useful

*2019-05-27, version 1.1*

DNA Translator helped me memorize three letter and single letter amino acid codes

### 5/5 — Immaculate

*2018-10-22, version 1.1*

This handy dandy app right here got me through Biology 20A!

### 5/5 — Wow Just Wow

*2018-10-03, version 1.0*

This is the go to app for DNA translation let me tell you. Can’t imagine a more useful app for any science class that involves studying DNA. Would rate it 10 stars if I could!!

### 5/5 — Ingenious little App

*2018-09-21, version 1.0*

Watson and Crick could have used this back when.

### 5/5 — Overall quality

*2018-09-21, version 1.0*

This is a very user-friendly app that helps you translate DNA into RNA. Would definitely recommend getting if you are in a science class!

### 5/5 — A Must For Bio Majors!!

*2018-09-21, version 1.0*

Perfect for homework and to quickly work through problems
