Very little for the money
I have to agree with the other reviewer who said it's not worth the money. The app presents the the electron configurations and other basic information on a selection of elements. It also presents the various orbitals scaled according to the atomic number but there's no attempt to illustrate which orbitals are occupied for example. There are a couple of short multiple choice quizzes. In short the app costs $4 for a pretty much one time use of a part of a section on orbitals. It really could be more instructive and for the money really should be. This app is just not up to par with other software from Wavefunction, inc.

Great Application for High School Chemistry
I totally understand that this is meant to be one of a series of modules. As a chemistry teacher of 45 years I see this as a great tool for the chemistry student. Atomic structure tends to be one of those topics that most chemistry students find a bit abstract. This is a good visual presentation of orbitals accompanied by a great series of questions. For both the teacher and students the price is great. The teacher, using something like AirPlay, with the iPad, could use it as a teaching tool and project it on a larger screen.

Not worth the money
Provides legitimate visuals of atomic orbitals, a glossary, and some exercises. Very limited in scope and depth. As a chemistry professor, I'm not sure if this app is actually helpful. Maybe things will change after a couple of updates, but I don't recommend it in its current state.
