### 5/5 — Lifesaver!!!

*2018-09-04, version 2.0*

This app is AMAZING. I’m in my first semester of Organic Chemistry and was struggling with naming. The app includes great info for identifying and naming/numbering all the functional groups. It also includes practice problems and detailed explanations if you get the answer wrong, AND links you to an appropriate Wikipedia page if you want to learn more. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

### 1/5 — New Update Needs Fixing

*2017-02-06, version 2.0*

IPhone 7, IOS 10, I click on the app and it automatically crashes. Used to be a fantastic study tool but now it's useless. PLEASE FIX ASAP I HAVE ORGANIC CHEM TESTS TO TAKE AND I WANT MY FAVORITE STUDY AID BACK!!!

**Developer response:** We’ve not been able to replicate this issue, however it could be a problem with cached user data interfering with the update. Try deleting and reinstalling the app:
	1 Tap and hold the app until it jiggles.
	2 Tap the “x” on the app.
	3 Press the Home button.
	4 Go to the App Store and download the app again.
	5 Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
Hopefully this will fix the issue. Send us an email ( learnorgchemistry@gmail.com ) and let us know!

### 1/5 — Good app on old iOS

*2016-12-13, version 2.0*

Was a great app until the iOS updates. Now it crashes whenever I open it. I was so pleased to have such a good tool to study organic chemistry on my phone, and I hope the developer will update it to work with the current iOS soon.

**Developer response:** We’ve tested the app on iOS 10 without issue, however it could be a problem with cached user data interfering with the update. Try deleting and reinstalling the app:
	1 Tap and hold the app until it jiggles.

	3 Press the Home button.
	4 Go to the App Store and download the app again.
	5 Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
Hopefully this will fix the issue. Send us an email ( learnorgchemistry@gmail.com ) and let us know!

### 1/5 — Can't open app

### 5/5 — Pocket review

*2016-09-02, version 1.2*

Nice app to practice with

### 5/5 — Aldehyde naming

*2012-11-06*

No carbaldehyde suffix ! Quiz answers come up wrong because there is no option to use rue proper suffix .

Fix this problem please

### 3/5 — Great app with exception

*2012-09-14, version 1.1*

This would be a five star application if the questions for the quizzes were pulled from a database of question in random order. The quizzes are great.... The first time you take one.  The questions do not change giving you an extremely limited amount of compounds you may be expected to name.  To be successful with  nomenclature it takes repetition and variety of compounds.

### 5/5 — Yes! Exactly what I need

*2012-08-23, version 1.1*

To prepare for the PCAT, I'm attempting to learn the essentials of Organic Chemistry before taking the class. The Nomenclature apps were hands down, 5 stars, the best apps I've ever purchased. It's the best $3.98 ($1.99 x 2 apps) I've ever spent. I love how it taught the material in easy to understand language, then quizzed me to reinforce it.

The app on reactions, also great, didn't teach the material. Seemingly, it should be used as a tool to enforce concepts previously learned in class. Thus, it didn't help me understand the reactions. I humbly request an app on reactions that brakes down the concepts as so masterfully done with the nomenclature app.

### 5/5 — Great Ap!

*2012-03-01*

Great ap. No other means of contacting developer. Can you fix the alcohols. IUPAC requires infix propan-2-ol but the ap uses prefixes. Otherwise great. Thank you. I can finally name organic compounds!

### 5/5 — What a helpful app!

*2012-01-28, version 1.1*

This developer does do much to make learning organic chemistry easy - nomenclature is so much easier to understand with this app.
