### 4/5 — Perfect!

*2011-09-14, version 1.3*

Simple, easy to understand, well organized! Good job!

*2011-04-18, version 1.3*

Muy buena app...!

### 5/5 — Keeping it simple

*2011-03-09, version 1.3*

This is a great chem app! The various categories of useful information available is just perfect for high school students although it may not be enough for the university or college bound. Still it is a great periodic table to have, especially if you forget to bring your hardcopy!

### 5/5 — I use it all the time

*2010-12-23, version 1.3*

Nice. Thanks

### 5/5 — Very useful.

*2010-12-20, version 1.3*

I am kind of sad and I wrote up my own periodic table. I don't know where I'd be without this app!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2010-10-14, version 0*

Pretty accurate and comes in handy!

### 5/5 — Love Science, Awsome App

*2010-10-06, version 0*

I really love science and this app is perfect. It has all the elements so far and it's explains them in different ways. I would recommend this app for people why love science.

### 4/5 — Elements table

*2010-09-26, version 0*

Very tidy package for my Iph4. Where was this in my hey days of school.

### 5/5 — Love having this on hand!

*2010-09-09, version 0*

It comes in handy when you have smart friends who think they know everything.

### 5/5 — Excelente app

*2010-09-06, version 0*

En lo particular antes odiaba la quimica con el tiempo me agrado y me hice de mi tabla periodica de papel, ahora con la tecnogia ya la traigo siempre conmigo en mi ipod se las recomiendo siempre es util.

### 4/5 — NERD ALERT!!!!!!

*2010-09-02, version 0*

That's all I have to say about that....maybe I'll enroll in grad school and be a chem major (NOT!)

### 4/5 — Russian language

*2010-09-01, version 0*

Good app, but can you add Russian language to this app.

### 4/5 — Handy little App

*2010-08-05, version 0*

For a free app this is great. Basic info, easy to use. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2010-07-17, version 0*

Does exactly what a free periodic table app should do.  Had the info I was looking for, but was a little tricky to navigate through all the data gracefully.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2010-07-15, version 0*

Not only does it have atomic mass, number, mp, and bp, it has all the different oxidation states for each element! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Full..

*2010-07-06, version 0*

Its like a full version.. More than wad i expected from a totally free app.. Thx alot for this app. Convinience.

### 1/5 — Wow

*2009-10-14, version 0*

I suk at chem... This will help..

### 1/5 — Unimpressed

*2009-02-20, version 0*

I am a chemistry student and I was disappointed that the app did not come with electronegativity.

### 1/5 — Lacking

*2009-02-09, version 0*

Provide more info besides simply molecular mass. List ionization energies, electron affinity, shielding,etc. It could also provide the types of bonds that the element typically forms. Also electron configurations; this includes electron configurations of the different oxidation states for a given transition metal.

### 2/5 — There are better free periodic table apps available

*2012-11-25, version 1.3*

Very limited app, though design is ok.
"Merck PSE HD" is by far the best free periodic table app, I suggest you try that instead.

### 2/5 — No help available

*2012-06-10, version 1.3*

Nice app but there is no info on how to use it. :( The app support redirects to a website that can't be found. I would like to know what the square box and numbers next to the element info at the top of the page are meant to represent. Is it valence electrons. Disappointed :(

### 3/5 — Excellent but...

*2011-02-04, version 1.3*

I want to give this five stars. Overall, this is an attractive, handy, and interesting app. However, when I try to change the heat measurement from Kelvin scale, the app crashes! I'm really surprised, honestly. Seems like the only broken thing on this... Could it please be fixed? Everything else is wonderful!

### 3/5 — VP of Technology

*2010-04-06, version 0*

I am a chemist and this is a simple, yet fun, easy to use application.

### 3/5 — Great free app

*2009-09-15, version 0*

Great quick and simple reference tool.

### 3/5 — Cool...

*2009-05-12, version 0*

I could use this for my final in chem, but I doubt I'll get the chance to pull out my itouch without having the teacher see it.  The only thing missing from this app is each ion of the elements.

### 3/5 — Very Good

*2009-01-20, version 0*

Helps me with homework! Thanks very much, could you take out the thing that says it's a lite app? I don't know why but it's a big turn off for me. Thanks for the good app. 

It does exactly what it says.

Its simple and has everything you need. I love it. Only thing it needs is update for iphone 5 and 6 screen size but dont change a thing! A++

### 5/5 — Great App

*2013-10-22*

This is the best periodic table app I have found. It is easy to use, looks nice, has a wealth of information, and works consistently. I personally love the fact that it has not been updated since it still runs great on a second gen. iPod Touch running iOS 4.2.1. That is rare thing these days.

### 5/5 — chem will drive u crazy

*2013-07-12, version 1.3*

wow !!! so simple so inventive !! wish all Chem apps become like that!!! how about you guys invent app that quiz people on oxidations states and atomic masses of elements !! it would be incredibly awesome !!!
thank you .... 
this app is big help :)

### 5/5 — Neat!

*2012-10-10, version 1.3*

Very good-looking and practical. Can I have it in Chinese too?

### 5/5 — Perfect for grade 12 chemistry!

*2012-03-27, version 1.3*

I love that this includes electronegativities and it's free! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2011-07-15, version 1.3*

It is a good application for people who are studying chemistry.  It is very helpful.
