User reviews

So slow on the iPad!

I don’t know if other reviewers are reviewing a different version. After trying to use this on an iPad Pro I came to the app store thinking it must need an update but there isn’t one available. The screen is so unresponsive I gave up even trying to draw a few simple structures.

Needs improvement but has potential

The functions in the app are relatively straightforward to use but it is glitchy and somehow responds poorly to touch. It is very hard to tap and select what you want and using an Apple Pencil is worse than your bare fingers.

Really good

A good app that has helped a lot and is a good futuristic app that can help in all different ways as it is easy to use. I recommend it to people over 12 years old as you can use it very easily

Great Potential App

If this app can faster with options like the chem draw, i would buy it. but this is too slow and lousy for now. i hope for a good update.

needs work

I was looking for chem draw when I stumbled upon this app. The app has potential, but the program doesn’t respond to touch. i even tried my apple pencil and i got nothing.
