User reviews

Auto-Next

My ONLY complaint is that it is mildly inconvenient in practice mode to have to hit the next button every time. If it would auto go to the next group after selecting the correct answer it would take this app from 9.7/10 -> 10/10.

overall great

my only request is that you could filter out groups that you don’t need to learn

Very repetitive

This has the potential to be a good tool but so far the quiz option is repetitive to the point of being frustrating. I, no joke, was given alkane 5 times in a row. I thought it was a glitch but then I got other functional groups repetitively too. This app would be better if they had a quiz option where they pointed to functional groups within a larger molecule for you to identify. Also, implementing spaced repetition would vastly improve the effectiveness.

Like it, but...

This game is great, actually my favorite so far, but it would be even better if it were slightly customizable. If you could choose what groups you wanted to study, or even edit some of the names to match the ones your instructor uses. It would be helpful too if you could add more functional groups that aren’t included.
Overall great for some of the basics!

Race to revise quiz

This is essentially a good quiz & serves as a brain teaser. There is an error in the classification of mono-substituted derivatives as arenes as appose to aryl substituted compounds.
