Great app but could use a few extra features

I’d like to make an animation on ionic bonding but sodium (Na) isn’t an option. Please add a wider selection of atoms to choose from. Also, please allow for use of ions greater than +1/-1 without a pink X going through it. Same for Hydrogen cations and anions (H+/ H-). I want to show an acid protonating another molecule without a random pink X in my animation. Other than these requests, this is a wonderful app and I applaud you for the easy to work with design.

Great App for chemists

Very helpful

Extremely good app

I use this app very often and would say that it is the best one for this sort of thing. It is easy to use, and works very well. If more elements such as metals could be added it would be even better, but still a great app otherwise!

Incorrect molecular formulae

When drawing compounds with zero hydrogen atoms (e.g. tetrachloromethane) the formula still shows one hydrogen atom present (e.g. CHCl4). The mass composition is correct so I’m not sure why this happens. Otherwise an intuitive and useful app.

Great Drawing App, but crashes

The app is really great for drawing molecules, but when I try to add another project it immediately crashes. 3 stars for being a good idea but not quite there yet. I look forward to updates!
