Not ready for iPhone X

Hasn’t worked by touching isotopes since I got a new phone. Love it when it works.

Many features don’t work

The legend doesn’t work
Touching an isotope label to get info doesn’t work
The periodic tale is not available

Good, functional nuclide chart

I like the extension feature that graphically displays the decay transformation. When you select an isotope, it displays the decay modes. When you select the decay mode, it jumps back to the chart and shows the tranformation to the next isotope, which you can select and continue the visualization of the chain of transformations. Note that this feature requires the $1.99 in app purchase, but is well worth it!

Very nice

Great app. $2. I don 't know why that isn't on the description. No! It is not $2 per nuclide. It is a one-time payment for all.

Sneaky

Requires an in-app purchase to be useful, but they want you to buy it without telling you how much it is. Sneaky and dishonest.
