No longer need to run back n forth between bench n computer. ### 5/5 — Get it *2010-02-23* If you are in the LAB. ### 5/5 — Excellent!!!! *2010-02-04* We use all NEB enzymes in our lab, and this app is awesome! I used to go online to look up enzyme info (such as activity in different buffers, optimum buffer for double digests, incubation time & temp, and whether an enzyme can be heat inactivated.) I highly recommend this app if you use NEB enzymes. Promega also has a good iPhone app worth looking at on the app store. ### 5/5 — BEST SCIENTIFIC REFERENCE TOOL!! *2010-02-01* Hands down, the BEST sidekick for all of your restriction digest needs (That is, if you use NEB enzymes) It makes figuring out double digests fun and simple to do without flipping through the catalog. ### 5/5 — Great *2010-01-21* If you work in a lab and have an iPhone, get this. ### 5/5 — finally *2010-01-18* been bugging NEB to release this for a few years. A wonderful and simple app that saves the pound of NEB paper from the bench. great work guys, I know that this probably required a lot more work than I think but it's incredibly useful. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — App crashes with the iPadOS *2019-09-26* The app was great when it worked, but it ctashed after I updated to iPad OS ### 2/5 — Bad interface *2011-09-25* Great idea, but it takes so long to scroll to each enzyme in the double digest- you are better off looking it up online. Same thing with the enzyme info, you can find the info in the catalog faster! This app needs the ability to type in the enzyme names to be useful in lab. ### 3/5 — Good, but could be better *2013-04-09, version 1.6.1* It's convenient, a handy way to check for buffer compatibility when double digesting; so it does what it says it'll do. However, it could be so much better. If you included protocols for instance, or the rest of the tools in your website (particularly the Tm calculator, which is awesome) you'd get a lot more people interested. For anyone interested, Promega has an app that has all this information, however most people still prefer NEB RE. ### 3/5 — Need update for iOS 5 *2011-06-17* Keep crashing in iOS 5. No problem in iOS 4 though. Also if the app icon can be upgraded to retina display quality, it will be great. Right now the high-res icon is only visible in AppStore and during installation, not after it is installed. ### 4/5 — Wrong information *2022-03-23, version 2.4.0* Incubation temperature of BsiWI-HF is differ from website. Please check this. ### 4/5 — Great for quick reference! *2013-10-11* If you're like our lab, and not everyone has the catalogue, then this app is great. When you can't find your catalogue because someone "borrowed" it... again... just pull out the app! Downsides are it's obviously not going to be as in depth as the catalogue or full online resources, but it's a quick reference guide. It's also only with the new buffers now, so if you're stocked up on buffers 1-4 then go ahead and grab the catalogue. ### 4/5 — Please *2013-03-19* Put the old buffers back!! At this moment, since we have a lot of stock of old buffers, this app is useless. This is unfortunate because this app has become my best partner :) ### 4/5 — Application géniale !! *2012-03-08, version 1.3.2* Étant étudiant en master recherche, cette application est rapide, pratique et gratuite, un exemple parfait du lien entre la technologie et la science qui me sert régulièrement pour mes expériences !! ### 4/5 — Nice and simple :) *2011-02-13* Very useful lab tool ### 4/5 — Very good !!! *2010-12-03, version 0* Just 4 stars because there is nothing new, but it's just what you need in your bench... Very easy and quick ! And it's free ! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2021-06-28, version 2.4.0* Love it. So many useful calculators. Can’t believe I only just found out about the app! ### 5/5 — 분자생물학 실험실 필수 어플 *2021-05-18, version 2.4.0* 너무너무너무너무 잘 사용하고이썽용 라이게이션도되고ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ NEB에서 나오는 종이 보러 안 가도 댐 ㅠㅠ ### 5/5 — A great update! *2017-05-05* NEB fixed all the issues i had in the older version. Nice work! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2014-11-01, version 1.7.2* Very useful tool, user friendly and very simple to use! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2013-01-23, version 1.5* This offers all the information on restriction enzymes from the NEB site in an easy to use app. A must for all microbiologists. ### 5/5 — 클로닝할때 *2012-08-02, version 1.4* 편합니다용 ### 5/5 — Very Useful *2012-02-04* I found the app to be very useful and was perfect to quickly look up the info I needed. An iPad version would be nice though, but a great app regardless. I'd also love to see more information that can be found in the catalog/manual. ### 5/5 — Useful app, get it *2010-12-13* Beats flipping through the NEB enzyme catalog by miles. ### 5/5 — Lab necessity *2010-09-05* I use NEB enzymes in my lab and this app has proven to be an invaluable tool. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2010-04-02, version 0* This app is extremely useful if you are a molecular biologist. An easy and handy app for all RE information. Highly recommend! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
