I LOVE this app

This came out right as i was taking chemistry class. The videos dont work anymore but im sure they can be found somewhere else. The main Elemental Table game is still fun as heck!

Support please!

This app is fantastic. My 6 year old has an obsession with chemistry. This is a beautiful app to accompany the books.
However….updates are rare. Right now video is not working at all. This is disappointing as updates take years….
