## What is Functional Groups in Chemistry?

The most important app for organic chemistry students includes 80 functional groups, the classes of organic compounds (aldehyde, ethers, esters, etc.) and natural products (nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, etc.). 
Start from the basic groups (such as ketones and hydrocarbons) and proceed to the advanced topics (for example, azo compounds and boronic acids).

Choose the game mode and take a quiz: 
1) Spelling quizzes (easy and hard) - answer all questions correctly to win a star.
2) Multiple-choice questions (with 4 or 6 answer options).
3) Time game (give as many answers as you can in 1 minute) - you should give more than 25 correct answers to get a star.
Two learning tools:
* Flashcards for memorizing these groups.
* Tables of functional groups.

The app is translated into 13 languages, including English, German, Spanish and many others. So you can learn the names of the functional groups in any of them.

Prepare for the exam in organic chemistry!

### 3/5 — Doesnt work with new IOS update

*2026-03-26*

Super useful app but it stopped working for me after the newest IOS update.

### 5/5 — Great app for reviewing

*2023-08-25*

Was having trouble with my functional groups from O chem, and needed a refresher for biochem and this app was great

**Developer response:** Thanks!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2023-07-29*

Perfect

**Developer response:** Thank you

### 4/5 — Super, aber es fehlt etwas

*2022-09-28*

Ich finde die Apps super, um „spielerisch“ die Trivialnamen zu lernen. Jedoch würde ich mich freuen, wenn man auch die IUPAC-Namen lernen könnte. Vllt könnte man es als Funktion zur Verfügung stellen, auf die man umschalten kann. Ich brauche das wissen für die Uni und den Verantwortlichen ist es wichtiger, dass wir die IUPAC können sollen

Ergänzung: wäre auch richtig cool, wenn ihr einarbeiten könntet, dass man flexibel aussuchen kann, welche Gruppen man lernt, denn ich brauche gar nicht alle

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback!

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2022-09-22*

Ajuda bastante a fixar o conteúdo

**Developer response:** Obrigado!

### 5/5 — Groupement fonctionnel

*2022-09-07*

L’application est extrêmement pratique. On peut mémoriser les composés sans les apprendre par cœur.

**Developer response:** Je vous remercie !

### 1/5 — 請求された

*2021-07-17*

なんかお金請求されました。最悪。

**Developer response:** 返金についてはAppleに連絡するか、asmolgam @ gmail.comに領収書を送ってください。

### 4/5 — Good app

*2021-04-30*

I used this app for learning functional groups for a chem exam and it definitely helped. The app tested me on more groups than I technically needed to know so a setting that allowed the user to select groups to be tested on would be nice. Overall clean app, great practice, and totally worth the price. Also you can turn off ads for free!

### 2/5 — ...

*2020-08-02*

Приложение неплохое, но раздел природные соединения очень бедный. На картинке с гормоном изображена формула, но нет никакой дополнительной информации о том, что это за гормон, даже названия этого конкретного гормона нет, то же самое и с остальными веществами: на карточке с алкалоидом, аминокислотой,  витамином, стероидом, да на всех карточках есть только подпись класса веществ,  формула какого-то вещества из этого класса без объяснения, что что за вещество. А на картинке с нуклеиновой кислотой - просто схематичное изображение двойной спирали. Этот раздел явно не доработан, потому что другое приложение с аминокислотами сделано гораздо лучше.

### 1/5 — Nichts für Medizinstudium

*2020-02-25*

Also leider ist dieses Quiz viel zu schwer wohl eher fürn einen Chemiker .... was soll ich denn da lernen... schade
