### 3/5 — Problem with saving as a file

*2026-06-26*

I tried to save the file in my ICloud but it keep saying that Network connection failed, Although My connection is okay. Also before that, it kept saying OSS key access you provided is not enabled or something like that.

### 4/5 — Not for specialised applications

*2024-06-27, version 3.5.8*

Fantastic bit of app, but can’t do non-standard functionality.
I try adding Oxygen and it adds OH instead.  I actually need to add OLi but can’t do it.

### 2/5 — Premium really?

*2022-09-16*

I have enjoyed using this app in order to create problems for teaching, but now it requires you to get premium to have storage. I thought deleting some of my past files would clear some space, but now it wants me to buy the premium. It’s a great app, but now that there is a subscription, like many things recently, it’s not worth the price.

### 4/5 — Just needs customisation options

*2021-11-14, version 3.1.0*

Great app, but from what I’m aware of, you’re unable to customise the layout of the icons which can make working with it time consuming.

### 3/5 — Okay, but can we remove the watermark?

*2020-12-22, version 2.3.5*

I’ve looked everywhere: YouTube, the website, Twitter etc. I can’t find a way to remove the watermark. I really want to use the exported images for digital flashcards but the watermark gets in the way. 

Also, I’m hoping that a native iPad app is created in the future. With that being said, I’m working on an 12” iPad Pro and the iPhone app zoomed in works well. It hasn’t crashed and everything is still accessible. I’m just saying that a native iPad app would elevate things. 

There are MANY features that I find useful as a student. It’s nice that we have access to a tool like this without any extra charges. My main concern right now is the watermark because I find it very intrusive. If there is a way to remove it by some chance and I receive a response, I will gladly update my review. 

All in all, great start but slight improvement will be great!

### 5/5 — Good

*2020-07-01*

Very good

### 5/5 — Best App Ever

*2020-03-10*

HOW IS THIS FREE... WOWOWOWOW
could not be more perfect

### 5/5 — Add SMILES input and export.

*2020-01-29, version 2.2.1*

Otherwise great app. While you’re at it, add Dark Mode.

### 5/5 — Ipad版本何时出呢

*2020-01-03, version 2.2.1*

为什么还没有ipad版本，有没有可能有mac版本呀…

### 3/5 — Need to be improved in iPad

*2019-12-25*

The iPad app need to be improved

**Developer response:** So glad to tell you that KingDraw HD for iPad has been launched, search for KingDraw HD to experience it.

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2026-01-21*

Long time ChemDraw user and thought I would try something free.  This is horrible.  Not intuitive at all.  Just terrible to use.  Don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — 千万别注册帐户！

*2024-04-03, version 3.5.8*

因为注册了也只能保存一个文档；建议作者推出一次性购买版本。

### 1/5 — Liars

*2023-06-22*

They recently pulled the number of free saves down to zero so you cannot even delete files in order to add new ones. Won’t save or export at all without mightily expanding expensive subscription. Can’t use it any more free.

### 1/5 — (Still) a keylogger

*2023-05-19*

KingDraw said they support the copying of drawing content to other software, so they need the copy permission. Here’s why that’s a load of fertilizer: (1) There is still NEVER an excuse to continually ask permission after a user had denied it. (2) The copy permission is for when an app DIRECTLY accessed the clipboard. It does not affect the use of the paste button in iOS’s textual context menu. It also doesn’t affect the paste buttons made with the UIPasteControl framework.

Update: Great idea, deny the permission. I would do that, but this app asks for permission over and over and over again after I’ve denied it.

**Developer response:** You can turn off the relevant permission request by going to "Settings→KingDraw→Paste from other apps→Deny" in your phone, but with this setting you can't open KingDraw files through the sharing link.

### 1/5 — Bitwarden ISSUE

*2023-02-27*

This app insists on obtaining paste access form Bitwarden (password vault) in order to proceed. This is highly suspicious and an app should not need to paste from your passwords! Please fix!

### 1/5 — Horrible Chem editor

*2022-05-15*

Not good.

**Developer response:** Could you please tell us the specific problems you encountered? Send us via qyngapp@gmail.com. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-04-05*

It won’t even open…

**Developer response:** Hello. We would like to solve this problem. Could you pls give us more detailed description and info about your devices? Send us via qyngapp@gmail.com. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing otherwise great

*2021-03-09*

Crashes

**Developer response:** Hello. We would like to solve this problem. Could you pls give us more detailed description and info about your devices? Send us via qyngapp@gmail.com. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Where is the setting for English?

*2018-12-12*

English setting?

### 2/5 — Doesn't recognize inorganic structures or do calculations

*2024-05-26*

This app is rather unique in what I've found because it allows structure drawing. 
However, it would be more powerful if it allowed to calculate molecular weights and could serve as a structure repository for projects.
If it did these things I'd pay the steep subscription price for storage.

**Developer response:** KingDraw is mainly used in the field of organic chemistry. And we supports the calculation of chemical properties, which can be found in the toolbar below the artboard.

### 5/5 — Best mobile molecule maker Eva

*2026-07-01*

Definitely the best molecule maker that I’ve seen on the App Store in a while. It lets you use any element, use positive and negative charges, and even name custom molecules that don’t exist in pubchem library! Would recommend to… everyone 😃

### 5/5 — aaaaa

*2025-02-04, version 3.5.8*

特别好用

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-10-13, version 3.5.8*

Easy to use, perfect for organic chemistry

### 5/5 — Really useful for Organic Chemistry

*2024-08-19*

Great alternative for ChemDraw and works on iPad. Totally love it! It would be nice if it could predict proton and carbon-13 NMR peaks.

### 5/5 — Units

*2022-07-21*

Please add units. This game is really good!!! I like that you can make dna molecules.

### 5/5 — 중국앱이지만 꽤 쓸만합니다.

*2021-11-04*

기대안했는데 진짜 왠만한 기능이 정말 다있어요. 노트북 없어서 chemdraw못쓸 때 대체로 쓰기 정말 편리하고 거기다 무료ㄷㄷ
단점은 이름이 너무 촌스럽다. king..?

### 5/5 — Perfect for checking myself!

*2021-06-24*

Love using this when I’m tutoring organic chem I — sometimes my naming is a bit rusty, we can’t understand the key a professor gives, or we want to double check ourselves when we name a compound or assign its stereochemistry; this is great for all of those things! Highly recommend, is a great free app!

### 5/5 — Get ittt. period.

*2021-03-08*

If you’re struggling in Organic chemistry, this app is a life saver. I always struggle with nomenclature and with this app you can literally just draw the structure and it will give you the correct answer! (Works vice verse too) .

### 5/5 — OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*2021-01-18, version 2.4.1*

Ive never ever ever wrote a review in my life because its a waste of time but oh my god you have created something that I’ve dreamed in my head and didn’t know existed. This app is by far the greatest chemistry app out there and I’ve recommended so many people already about this. Being an advanced level chemistry student this is the most amazing app I’ve ever seen. And from what I’ve seen so far, no in app purchases. But if there was I’d definitely pay. 

I have one suggestion which would just put the icing on the cake.  If there was an iPad version of this app I’d actually wet my pants 😅. And if there is something like it please let me know.  

Thank you so much for this gift.  You guys are absolutely amazing. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Just wow!!!

*2020-11-23*

I am amazed by this app. It was exactly what I needed to complete my assignment to have actual structures digitally drawn for a reaction. The fact that it’s free too💯💯. You can save your work as an image or a few other forms of files they offer, to be able to move it to assignments.
