### 4/5 — Amazing App

*2010-03-16*

can you add amino acid quizlet functionality in a way? it would be perfect if one can test him/her self after reading about all the amino acids

### 5/5 — Very Nice App

*2009-01-11*

I like this program, and does everything it claims to do. If you need to learn the structures, symbols, and properties of the amino acids, this is a useful app. 
Since my original review, they have added additional information including codons, and a simple codon search which allows for the translation of a nucleic acid sequence into its corresponding amino acids. I hope the developer continues to improve it with updates, especially useful would be the ability to view all the AAs at once in their various categories without scrolling.
This is a definite 5-star reference now, and is a great bargain. Anyone taking genetics, biochem, molecular bio, or in need of quick access to amino acid data and structures should try this app out.

### 1/5 — Fehlerhaft

*2024-04-30*

Fehlerhafte Darstellung. Gutamin und Gutamat wurden verwechselt.

**Developer response:** Leider ist das trotz intensiver Prüfung passiert. Wir bitten um Entschuldigung. Das 3.3 Update behebt diesen Fehler und fügt darüber hinaus neue Funktionen hinzu.

### 1/5 — Some information is wrong

*2024-03-11*

I have not checked all the information about the amino acids but I just saw under glutamine the structure of GLUTAMIC ACID. 
I found this to be highly unreliable and I consider it to be a waste of money.

**Developer response:** Unfortunately, this happened despite intensive examination. We apologize. The 3.3 update fixes this bug and also adds new features.

### 1/5 — Schlecht

*2014-01-29*

Kein Quiz vorhanden. Fehlkauf

### 1/5 — Aus Wikipedia und dazu kostenpflichtig

*2013-05-30*

Ist die AS hydrophob oder hydrophil? Nicht mal einen Quiz zum Testen des Gelerntes... Nur bedingt zum Nachschlagen geeignet!

### 1/5 — Nett, aber...

*2012-05-18*

App gekauft, installiert und gestartet... Soweit in Ordnung, aber sobald ich in die Queransicht gehe und durch die Aminosäuren durchscrollen will stürzt die App ab, bei dem Preis (für so eine unkomplizierte App) ein "no go"!

Eine Karteikarten Funktion zum lernen der Strukturformeln wäre schön!

### 2/5 — "Chem Touch" offers more for only $0.99

*2010-08-02*

^^^ The layout here is more spacious than chem touch's but this doesn't include nucleic acids and detail on all elements of the periodic table. Had I realized the chem touch already provided the amino acid info, I never would have purchased this $3 app. Safe to say it is no longer on my touch.

### 2/5 — Where's the fun?

*2010-02-15*

App says it's a fun way to learn amino acids suggesting a game type format or flash card program. No such thing here.

### 3/5 — Für den Anfang ganz gut

*2013-10-25*

Ich fände eine noch Abfrage gut und eine Bildschirmanpassung fürs iPad, da ich zu Hause auf dem Sofa nicht mit dem iPhone sitzen, beziehungsweise auf einen angepassten Bildschirm des iPads schauen will. Wenn es das gibt vergebe ich auch gerne 5 Sterne :)

### 3/5 — Codons

*2010-11-24*

Search doesn't include stop codons or all codon combinations.

### 3/5 — No flashcard feature

*2009-08-21*

Nice application. I think they need a flash card feature for, at the very least, structure recognition. Nice reference tool, but not great for learning. Hopefully this can easily be fixed with an update.

### 5/5 — Lässt kaum Wünsche offen

*2025-06-03*

Übersichtlich aufgebaut, Lernmodus, für weitere Infos jeweils Links zu Wikipedia. Seit dem Update fehlerfrei.

### 5/5 — Super

*2024-07-04*

Die bislang umfangreichste Aminosäuren App

### 5/5 — Good app

*2009-10-01*

Good study tool. Could use a few more ways to categorize and more features but overall good tool

### 5/5 — Einfach super

*2009-06-27*

Ich kann jetzt immer die Aminosäuren nachschlagen, sind ja nicht so leicht zu merken. Die neue Version ist noch besser und übersichtlicher. Einfacher gehts nicht! Wenn da noch eine art Memorize-Funktion eingebaut würde, würde ich der App sogar sechs Sterne geben :).

### 5/5 — MercerMike

*2009-05-08*

Great App! Useful for an Organic Chemist to have all these little buggers in your pocket.

### 5/5 — Version 1.2 ist noch besser

*2009-05-06*

Das Lernprogramm für Aminosäuren ist jetzt richtig rund. Einzig eine Memorize-Funktion fehlt noch.

### 5/5 — Echt praktisch!

*2009-04-14*

Klasse, Aminosäuren in der U-Bahn lernen. 5 Sterne, ganz klar!

### 5/5 — awesome app!!

*2009-04-05*

Woow! this app is perfect for any student trying to learn the amino acids!! loves it!!!

### 5/5 — go science!!!!!

*2009-02-03*

wow!!!!! great app!!!!!

### 5/5 — Well done.

*2009-01-13*

I'm enjoying the updated info in the new version and the included wiki link for each of the aminos. Nice update, 5-star app for sure.  

--------------------------------------------------
Original review:

A great little refrence tool that does what it says it will do and looks and runs well to boot. For $0.99 you can't go wrong. 

In future updates it might be nice if they included a bit of info on the roles of the different aminos and perhaps a brief explaination of the chemical bonds and how they work, but I certainly won't me complaining if they don't as that could easily become a differet app altogether.
