Overall worth the price. ### 4/5 — Ain't all that bad *2014-03-27, version 3.1* Its a great app but its a bit hard to understand unless you r a student in ap chemistry or physics ### 3/5 — Needs more chemistry for chemists. *2014-02-26* There are a lot of topics in the chemical section that includes concepts , however, there needs to be more formulas relating to thermodynamics, heat capacities, types of radioactive decay (with formulas), shrodinger's equation, Heisenberg's actual equation, nomenclature, chemical equations relating to gas formation and precipitation, and solubility rules to name a few. Maybe better classification with gas laws, thermodynamics, radioactivity, chemical equilibrium, stochiometry, periodic table, quantum chemistry, the net ionic equation versus total ionic equation, Redox reactions, and light/wavelength chemical equations sections would be a step towards making this app a bit more organized. Chemistry is generally mostly mathematics. It's still a pretty good start and if it's fixed I will recommend . ### 4/5 — Pretty good referance *2013-07-21, version 3.0* Although there is much that is not here, it is a great reference app for intro chemistry students. ### 3/5 — Okay app *2013-03-17* This is a good app. It has a lot of formulas for a lot of things and it has the potential to be very helpful. I just wish there were formulas for some basic algebra topics and interactive programs in the app like there are in the wolfram alpha algebra app. Like a Pythagorean theorem solver, and definitely examples to show you how to do it. Good app tho. ### 5/5 — Demais *2013-03-04* Mto mais completo que outro que eu tinha. ### 4/5 — Great Reference! *2013-03-01* Great reference app, though it would be nice if there were more explanatory diagrams in some sections. ### 5/5 — Awesome all around *2013-02-04* Just a great app with all the standard formulas you need in college! ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-02-01* Worth all 100 penny's. Definitely the best app on the App Store ### 5/5 — Awesomeness at it's Simplicity *2013-01-30* That's It ### 5/5 — Incredible informative application *2013-01-28* Amazing app! ### 5/5 — LOTS of scientific/math formulas *2013-01-11, version 3.0* Formula MAX is truly maxed out with formulas. Get it! ### 4/5 — Suficientemente simples, bastante útil. *2012-12-08* Só não merece 5 estrelas por ser apenas em inglês. ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2012-12-04, version 2.2* I study these 3 subject at a-level and it covers all the equations I've ever needed and even has given me inspiration for coursework ideas. The periodic table built in is also a very useful touch. ### 5/5 — Need french version *2012-11-29, version 2.2* Very good ### 5/5 — Excellent *2012-11-25, version 2.2* This app is perfect for a student as it contains many formulae. No need to memorize those super long formulae which can be easily forgotten or mixed up. ### 4/5 — B *2012-10-27, version 2.2* Very good reference. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Most Uninspiring App! *2014-07-11* This is a collection of flash cards for children: When you call up an equation, for instance, it is just a pictorial image, meaning that it is not interactive. So you cannot actually use it in any way, and you cannot even copy it into the memory of your iPhone. All the knowledge base is also extremely basic: If you call up "electrons," for instance, the non-interactive flash card tells you (with a spacing error) something that you may be taught at an elementary school (junior high?), but certainly not at a college level. So if you are a college student, you certainly cannot use this app even for the very 1st year. ### 1/5 — Not worth it... *2014-03-10* not worth the .99, very unorganized, will take time to find what you are looking for, a simple google search will produce more informative information, ugly user interface, shouldn't release this app until it is complete ### 1/5 — Useless *2012-12-11* Useless unless you already understand the content in that there is very very little explanation, just a group of equations which you get from the net. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2012-07-13, version 2.2* Several mistakes and no methodical way of searching. Virtually no information passed general chemistry. ### 1/5 — Missings Raleigh constant for light, does not allow editing *2012-07-08* I thought you be able to enter your own variables for a formula and get an answer you can't which is disappointing ### 1/5 — Disapointing *2012-04-06, version 2.2* All it does is list a punch of formulas when I need help solving them. Wish I could get my money back. ### 1/5 — Great idea; poor execution *2012-02-20* I have been searching for apps applicable in a high school science classroom. This app is a great idea and could be very helpful. However, the are way too many mistakes in the content - definitions are poorly worded, topic headings are illogical, equations are inaccurate, etc. Get a science/math teacher to help you and you'll have a great app. Congrats on the great idea! ### 1/5 — Rocco *2012-01-17* German language please ! ### 1/5 — Review of this app *2012-01-11, version 2.1.1* A high school level dictionary of basic terms and equations. Generally unsuitable to a working engineer or scientist. I deleated it. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2011-12-24* I wanted to use this as a mathematical formula collection and I'm extremely disappointed. It's a bad app in all respects, I can not recommend buying it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Finally!! *2017-06-08* As a Physics major, I'm so glad someone finally came up with an app that has a useful quick reference for integration formulas and while bunch of other useful stuff! ### 5/5 — Formula Max *2017-04-01* I give them high marks for having an up to date periodic table in the Chem section ### 5/5 — Super Formula Pack *2016-03-15, version 3.1* One of the best app for students and teachers... ### 5/5 — Great idea! *2014-01-26, version 3.1* Getting my BS in engineering has been challenging! This app will definitely help me visualize and memorize key formulas come exam time. ### 5/5 — Great! *2013-10-18, version 3.0* Omg where has this app been all my life! It helps me out so much! It actually tells how to use it ### 5/5 — CBS *2013-06-21* Poolpp ### 5/5 — I must need app! Best purchase ever! *2013-06-07* This app is probably the best purchase I've made! Seriously... It has EVERYTHING! It is so useful and worth every penny...all 99 of them!! Don't even hesitate. You NEED this app! ### 5/5 — Helpful *2013-05-14* This application is really helping me! ### 5/5 — Best $0.99 ever spent *2013-04-28, version 3.0* Great great app, I would have bought it if it cost $5. Thanks and keep making awesome apps ### 5/5 — Good app for beginning science majors *2013-03-04* It's a good app. Has a lot of formulae that you can reference, which is great for students. And also has csc, sec, cot calculator which I thought was pretty nice. Overall good app and just what I needed for college. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
