### 4/5 — What's wrong with controls?

*2013-08-30, version 1.9*

Once you go into some topic there is no coming bank other then closing the app and reopening it.

### 4/5 — More!!

*2013-05-21, version 1.9*

Great ap! I would've given 5 stars if it had more flash cards. Give me more!!!

### 4/5 — Good App. Needs some improvement.

*2012-11-29, version 1.9*

This app is a great purchase and like the other reviews say, this app is a great study tool. However, it could be better if the cards were more interactive. For instance when asked which leaving group is the best, one should be able to tap the leaving group and get a positive or negative response. Other than that a reagents section would be nice. No other gripes from me. Overall a great buy.

### 5/5 — Good, but I wish there were more users for updates!

*2010-09-02, version 0*

Also, I'd like more difficult questions with 5+ reagents.  

Other than that it is a great little app to aid in studying while I'm at the gym or on the run.  DEFINITELY WORTH THE $2!!!!!!!!!!!!

IPAD SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2015-09-23, version 1.9*

Just downloaded and you can hardly read the answers and froze up four times in less than two minutes!! Do worth it!

### 1/5 — not an app for true o chem novices

*2010-04-06, version 0*

this app is way too advanced for me. I thought it had easy to advanced problems, but the creators understanding of easy really was way too advanced for me.  I'm new to ochem. this was a waste of my $2. sorry, I deleted right away.

### 2/5 — Love this app but please fix glitches!

*2016-07-19, version 1.9*

This app is helpful when you need to review orgo on the run. It's not helpful when it constantly freezes and you have to shut the app off and reopen it. It's a simple app and you pay for it, so the upgrade without the freezes would be appreciated.

### 2/5 — Not bad

*2012-12-26, version 1.9*

Not a bad app.

### 3/5 — A little more would be nice

*2012-12-17, version 1.9*

Wish the answers also named and showed more of the mechanism. More synthesis in the summary parts would be more helpful. Otherwise nice study tool.

### 3/5 — Names

*2010-03-05, version 0*

It would be nice for us laymen chem people if the names of the molecules were shown

### 4/5 — Some inaccurate rxns

*2015-05-27, version 1.9*

Pros: 
1- there are many rxns that are covered in the book. 
2- a good practice tool for MCAT or DAT. 
3- cheap. 

Cons: 
1- sometimes inaccurate products. Ex, nitrobenzene fail to react with Friedel-Craft acylation and alkylation. However, this app shows the products anyways. 
2- most of the rxns are basic. 
3- there is no way you can just go back to the main list. So, you have to exist the entire app and re-open it again.

### 4/5 — Great OChem tool!

*2015-04-21, version 1.9*

Overall a very useful study resource. Just wish they're were more flash cards and a section for aldehydes and ketones, and more OChem 2 material because my class went far more in depth than this. I feel like it would also benefit to make the flash cards more interactive.

### 4/5 — Quite helpful

*2014-08-18, version 1.9*

It is indeed quite helpful for checking up on elements that are essential

### 4/5 — Great study aid!

*2013-11-05, version 1.9*

Really helps when you don't have your books and notes available, having these flash cards are great to have on the phone, my only gripe is that it should be more specific, for instance, a carboxcylic acid derivatives tab, aldehydes and ketones tab, etc. however, most of that is mixed with other topics. The number one tab they need is a reagents topic that tells you what they are for.  Overall it's a great app.

### 5/5 — Fantastical!

*2014-05-04, version 1.9*

Best O Chem study app!  Quizzes on focused topics & gives good explanations.

### 5/5 — Good study help

*2013-05-09, version 1.9*

Personally, I found this app to be very useful this semester. It's a lot more handy than a big stack of flash cards, and a much better use of time than the games I am usually tempted to play in my down time at work. 
I do wish there were more cards, but in general, I would say it was a good use of money and time.

### 5/5 — Great Study / Review Tool

*2013-01-07, version 1.9*

Thoroughly, simply and concisely covers all material. Doesn't require data or Internet to use once downloaded, which makes it nice for travel.

### 5/5 — Great for studying!

*2012-07-21, version 1.9*

So worth 2 bucks. I wish I had this for my ACS. I have been using it so make sure I don't forget my smarts. :P

### 5/5 — Thestudent

*2012-01-25, version 1.9*

This is a wonderful app as a study aid

### 5/5 — good

*2012-01-16, version 1.9*

The cards are helpful as an addition to other resources for learning the material.  I especially noticed that there are problems in the notes that aren't found in my textbook.  In that regard they are a nice addition.

### 5/5 — Great app but needs more cards

*2011-12-14, version 1.9*

My buddies and I were studying for our O Chem exam and ran out of cards too quickly.

### 5/5 — Fantastic study aid!

*2011-12-07, version 1.9*

My bus rides to class are a lot more productive now!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2011-11-23, version 1.9*

Love it. Thanks so much. Helps me study away from home.

### 5/5 — Good

*2011-07-26, version 1.8*
