Reference app includes made up element. Why?
EDIT: Coming back years later, I took some time to check out their outreach page. The ‘Discover More’ link has a typo — it leads to a “emdroup” website. Seems that it was hastily slapped into the app and never looked at again. What’s the point? I’d rather be prompted a few times a year to donate, and that’d probably work better for EMD too.
Look, I know a one star review seems harsh for an otherwise extremely polished and informative app. But is anybody else sick and tired of seeing advertisements creeping into every aspect of life?
Imagine seeing something like this on a periodic table in a textbook. Call it childish or petty, but I find this method of outreach to be an egregious violation when providing scientific information.
Wikipedia and other educational resources have a clear separation of information and support/outreach for a reason.
—— Original Review ——
The “curiositum” (or however it is spelled) should not be on the periodic table, because it is not part of the periodic table.
It has no business being included there for the same reason you wouldn’t put a “curiosity constant” in a physics formula. Put your advertising somewhere else.

Quite the app for school
This is my sons apple he uses for school and has helped him so much i really de appreciate this wonderful app

the 118th element and review
Best periodic table app
The best periodic table app I could find, with more features than you could need. They unfortunately added a nonexistent element for fun, with no option to hide it. A small inconvenience, but whatever.
Everything at my fingertips
Really, for a lover of chemistry, physics, and mineralogy, this app is perfect. Everything about an element collected in a beautiful intuitive GUI.
Tons of Features
This app is loaded with charts and other features that are extremely helpful in any chemistry class.
Simple and free
If you hate small petty things out of an app that a child would get upset at like the one star review I found on here, don’t get the app. Most adults would have some kind of understanding as to why there’s an element that’s nonexistent on the app. i guess if i were to complain, for people that don’t know their elements, at least separate curiosity away from the table and/or specify that it is not an element. However, i don’t understand how anyone would get upset at that. Most people downloading this app probably know a bit about their elements such as the person that left a one star review. This is a great app that’s simple and free...

Just one more thing
It would be great to have the exact mass of the isotopes listed with their % abundance’s for mass spec purposes.
Great App
Great and accurate resource with lots of info. UI is really goods, and I haven’t noticed any bugs or other anomalies. Very useful app!
Must have app for anyone that’s has some relation with chemistry
It’s very clean, well organized and yet loaded details
Excellent
Best I’ve seen.
Superb!
A most excellent periodic table and elemental properties app! As a chemist, I wouldn't be without it.
Great! I just can’t see it!
Phenomenal set of features and info!
However you can’t zoom in and scroll so it’s hard to read. Also needs screen optimization for iPhone X and Max.

I chose this app over the many others available because I liked the clean and cool design, which I no longer feel it has.
I will change my rating to five stars once the bogus element is removed from the table.

Keep it a clean reference UX without fluff, please
So we finally have the names in place at the end of period 7, which has been much needed ever since they were officially adopted months ago, but then you go and add an eyesore with that curiosity tile. Put it somewhere else in the app if you must. Just get it off of the table itself. It has no place being there. I originally picked this app for being a clean aesthetics reference. I don’t want it to be clogged up with outreach fluff like so many other periodic table apps.

the best
one of the very best science apps. fantastic GUI. beautiful. a level of content for every scientific need. congrats to the developers.
¡Me gusta mucho!
La verdad es que yo solo uso la tabla periódica para hacer crucigramas, pero con esta dan ganas de ser químico. Muy completa y fácil de usar. ¡Y gratis!
