That's instant deletion as far as I'm concerned. It's gone. Update: What comes up when the app starts for the first time is an ad for an in-app purchase. It takes over the screen in an irritating fashion, and it is not obvious how to get rid of it. There does not seem to be any further aggravation, but time will tell. Other than that, it's a great app. ### 4/5 — iPhone version vs iPad version *2019-10-09, version 1.7.0* Belle application simple et complète pour une utilisation quotidienne. Par contre, la version iPhone n’est pas très pratique puisque les masses molaires ne sont pas visible même dans une orientation paysage. Dommage. ### 5/5 — Best app for Chemistry *2019-09-16, version 1.7.0* I used this to study and memorise the periodic table and it was super helpful ### 5/5 — Best Chemistry App *2019-08-27, version 1.7.0* This is my first review and I thought it is worth doing it on this Amazing App. First off, this app is so user friendly and my experience with it has been great. Elementium is a must have for any Chemistry Lover. Second, this app actually cites its sources in a visible place so that if you are confused with any material covered in the app, their sources are right there at your disposal. Third of all, This App has no in-app purchases and no premium version or anything like that. Elementium is a 100 percent free app. That is what makes it so lovable. All in all, Elementium is the perfect app and is one of my favorites. ### 5/5 — 👍 *2019-05-11, version 1.6.0* 👌 ### 5/5 — Very cool *2019-05-04, version 1.6.0* Great implementation of the periodic table. Easy to use and very informative. ### 5/5 — love, love, LOVE!!! *2019-04-25, version 1.6.0* this app is a godsend. it helps me soooo much with school. bless this creator, i love you and this app!!! maybe i will actually pass my exam!!! 😄 ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2019-04-16, version 1.6.0* Better than Elemints and that’s quite something! ### 5/5 — Upgrading from 1 to 5 Stars *2019-04-07, version 1.6.0* Apr 7/19 Just downloaded again to see if it had been updated. It now works so crash problem seems to be fixed. I recommend it. ### 4/5 — Nice layout in iPad; crashes on 6G iPod Touch *2019-04-05, version 1.5.2* Easy and intuitive to use, I like the variation in colors to show the differing elements. There’s plenty to learn about each element within the app as well as links to Wikipedia to learn more. I first downloaded this app to my 6G iPod Touch where it always crashed. The iPad version is stable. Both of my devices are running on iOS 12.2. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2019-04-03, version 1.5.2* Nice to use as a teaching tool ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Xd *2019-04-05, version 1.5.2* Kept spamming me to rate it so ok ### 1/5 — Crashes *2019-04-04, version 1.5.2* Just downloaded the app today on my iPhone 10S max running the latest Apple software. It crashes on everything, no matter what you tap it crashes immediately. ### 1/5 — Let Me Check First! *2019-04-03, version 1.5.2* How can anybody review something before checking it first. Follow other developers and change the algorithm so that the user review app after they’ve used it a number of times. Geez. So if you want a review, then here’s one. On Face value, doesn’t look all that, it’s just a chart. Can easily copy a picture of it into my photos from google, and what do I need this app for if I wish to go to Wikipedia for more info. “Raising eyebrow”, he says looking a little confused! So on face value, it’s not all that. ### 1/5 — Too early to rate *2019-04-02, version 1.5.2* I got tho so 3 minutes ago. I started to check it out and it asked for a rating 3 times. Very annoying. I will look at it later. ### 2/5 — Beautiful but a subscription *2023-10-06, version 3.4.0* the app itself had a beautiful and fluid design, very iOS-inspired. But locking away every decent feature behind a decently hefty *subscription* is just annoying. at least offer one time purchases somewhere 🤷 ### 2/5 — Beautiful but a subscription *2023-10-01* the app itself had a beautiful and fluid design, very iOS-inspired. But locking away every decent feature behind a decently hefty *subscription* is just annoying. at least offer one time purchases somewhere 🤷 ### 3/5 — Pretty Good *2023-06-24, version 3.2.0* A lot of information, not the best setup ### 3/5 — Great app... *2020-01-31, version 2.0.7* I enjoy learning and teaching with this app. There’s been quite a few awesome upgrades but as a early adapter I’m bummed it’s a subscription model at least for someone who stuck with it... 👎 Anyway enjoy. ### 4/5 — It’s good but… *2024-05-26, version 3.4.3* It’s really good but I have to pay to see a picture of the actual element. ### 4/5 — A few tweaks required... *2024-02-16, version 3.4.3* I am a HS chemistry teacher and I love this app... HOWEVER the background color for the metaloids make it VERY hard to read the text! Darken this bad boy up and its a five star app for sure! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brilliant for my chemistry and Physics class! *2023-09-22, version 3.3.0* Really love this app for studying ### 5/5 — Best periodic table app! *2023-08-01, version 3.3.0* I’ve never had an app as informative as this! You don’t need the subscription really unless you’re taking a class. But the subscription to all the Bohr models is fantastic, highly recommend to students! ### 5/5 — Elementium Review *2023-04-27, version 3.1.1* I love how you can learn so much about an element like if an element is radioactive, and you can get a list of EVERY SINGLE ELEMENT in ALPHABETICAL ORDER which could be very useful! You can also get links to pages of an element in chemistry websites (including Wikipedia), the app is just SO USEFUL! ### 5/5 — decent *2022-11-01, version 3.0.2* wish there was more info & a bunch of things are locked behind paywall 🤷‍♀️ ### 5/5 — so helpful *2022-09-19, version 3.0.2* been using this pretty much every time i’m in chem class at duke. so helpful and has so much information! ### 5/5 — Good, clean, beautiful, indie, quintessential iOS development *2021-09-25, version 2.1.8* What more is there to say? It also does not track its users. ### 5/5 — Great app. *2021-05-09, version 2.1.8* I am a layperson with only high school education. I get curious sometimes and turn to Elementium to satisfy that. So much of this content is over my head. But the in app links to Wikipedia is pretty cool. It has definitely paid off while yelling out responses at the TV during Jeopardy! ### 5/5 — When is V.1.7? *2020-10-30, version 2.1.8* When is The V.1.7 ### 5/5 — DOWNLOAD THIS APP NOW *2020-10-12, version 2.1.8* By far one of my favorite apps I’ve used for my school work! I don’t think I would have passed without it. ### 5/5 — very good *2020-04-21, version 2.1.1* is better if purchased the photos --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
