Lousy table. *2025-04-09, version 3.1.3* The information under each element is very good and presented in a very interesting way. However the main periodic table is too busy and hard to read. The tiny thumbnail pics are pretty useless at that scale and the element numbers are very difficult to see. Would be better if the main table was more traditional while keeping the rest of the detailed info on the first drill down menu. ### 4/5 — Request for the latest version! *2023-10-14* Please upgrade the app for iPhone 14 pro and so on. I will look forward. ### 5/5 — I heart the elements *2023-06-18, version 3.1.3* I love premier inn and the Weymouth seafront site brings the elements to lift ### 5/5 — good app but change something *2023-04-17, version 3.1.3* in the chinese language, the last 6 elemtns arent in chinese so heres how they look like: Nihonium:鉨 Flerovium:鈇 Moscovium:镆 Livermorium:鉝 Tennessine:石田 Oganesson:气奥 ### 4/5 — 知識の補填になります。 *2023-03-25* 内容、素晴らしいです。 触って動きがあるのが、何となくですが好きです。 ---ここからは評価とは別です。--- 昔に買ったはずなんですが、別のIDだったのかな？ iPhone版とiPad版では違うのかな？ 自分の管理が悪かったですね。 今後はモヤモヤしない様に、きちんとしなければ！ ### 5/5 — LOVE The Japanese Version of "The Song" 👏😀 *2023-02-28, version 3.1.3* As well as being a FANTASTIC GRAPHICAL AND TEXTUAL information resource for the Periodic Table, I have to admit that I will sometimes just run the App to hear the Japanese Version of the "Element Song"! Plus, don't forget their Molecules app as well! Having SCIENCE with a SENSE OF HUMOR is GREAT, as well as being VERY WELL DONE! Scientists, TAKE NOTE! ### 5/5 — The best App in my iPad. *2023-01-28* Indeed, first iPad I bought was because this exclusive Apple Store App. I teached my children for years. The app is fantastic! The only thing I miss is little 3D extra vídeos for each element that I interacted in the app old versions. It is possible to rollback this feature? I love the way everything is explained about the features of the elements. It is very easy to understand the importance and applications for the material exposed. I’m glad for this great work. This app is a peace of art in cience! ### 5/5 — Flerovium pollution. *2023-01-03, version 3.1.3* This is really amazing, this is the book but better, but I noticed a bug(I think). It says that the oceans are 0.00044% Flerovium, and this is more abundant than calcium, which is kind o common in shells. Also I’m pretty sure only a few atoms, maybe 80, have been made. Please fix this. ### 5/5 — Please update ui *2022-09-30, version 3.1.3* Beautiful but so old ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-02-15, version 3.1.3* This has got to be one of the most brilliant educational apps for the iPad. Even if you think you aren’t into chemistry or physics, the pictures and stories make this VERY worthwhile. Check it out!! ### 5/5 — So good I had to buy it twice! *2022-01-23, version 3.1.3* As an early adopter I bought this app to show off the potential of my new iPad, the one without a camera. Storage was an issue as has been pointed out this isn’t a small app and used up a chunk of the limited storage so at some point I uninstalled it. This was before the current App Store when apps were controlled through iTunes. Eventually I bought an iPhone but was unable to reinstall the app as any reference to my purchase has disappeared. I love the app. but having to pay twice was disappointing. ### 5/5 — One of the best apps of all time *2021-11-10* But mysteriously this app lost support by its maker and is made compatible with current devices. Most users would not hesitate to pay the price for an update instead of switching to one of the working but less attractive alternatives. ### 5/5 — I love it *2021-11-07, version 3.1.3* It is pretty good apps! Lovely sample of the Elements but It should be translate in other languages! ### 5/5 — 从学校看到的 *2020-12-17* 喜欢这个！ ### 4/5 — 请求退款 *2020-12-09* 对不起我因为是在晚上，以为是免费的没看清楚就点击了下载，下载的过程中我才发现我被扣钱了。我立马暂停了下载，我尝试练习苹果客服退款，但是没有人接听电话。我从始至终没有打开过这个软件，请问可以帮我退款吗，谢谢。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2025-12-13, version 3.1.3* I have now bought this App twice. My first purchase stopped working a long time ago, around the time of IOS 11, and there was no free upgrade option for existing users. Now, on the iPhone, it is not as good as I remembered as it only works in landscape. Also, there is an annoying Wolfram Alpha link on every page which of course is there to try and sell you Pro mode! There is no option to remove this unwanted ‘feature’. and it takes up way to much space. For the price, this is very disappointing, I won’t be purchasing it again! ### 1/5 — USA USA *2025-01-08, version 3.1.3* I love the app, but why it insists in measuring everything in imperial units is beyond me. The scientific World has been clear about using metric for years. Belligerence to ounces, miles and tons makes you look dumb. ### 1/5 — 日本語表記 *2021-08-25* 日本語の説明文で表示させると文字の上の部分が切れてしまっています。 ### 1/5 — 乱扣费！退款！ *2021-03-07* 我从来就没有点开过这个应用，今天上午8：30更新应用时候提示我点击指纹，我看到还需要扣费！？我指纹密码，已经没法返回了！！我根本就没有使用过这个软件，怎么在更新软件时候自动跳出来让我付款购买？！怎么从更新软件里面跳出来呢？！我没有使用过的软件不应该我主动搜索下载才可以吗！！！退款！！退款！！退款！！ ### 1/5 — 118 *2020-11-19, version 3.1.1* There are 118 elements on the periodic table. I can only view 103. ### 1/5 — バグアプリ *2020-01-08* 買った当初は問題なかったのですが、最近になってから、日本語の説明文が全て途中で切れているようになりました。 このバグが全員に起こるものではないのかもしれませんが、値段も高いので、これから買おうとしている方には、修正されるまで買うことをおすすめしません。 バグが発生しはじめたのは12月終わり頃からです。このバグさえ無ければ本当に良いアプリなので、早急に修正をすることを求めます。 ### 1/5 — 早急に対処願います *2020-01-08* 日本語訳の文章が途中で途切れているのをどうにかして欲しいです 後は満足です！！ ### 1/5 — 误下载 *2019-04-17* 误下载，想退款 ### 1/5 — Silly size *2019-03-25, version 3.1.1* 1.7 GB app? That is crazy. I own it but will never download it because 1.7 GB :-( ### 1/5 — 还我60 *2018-06-12* 还我六十！一堆文字加图片。我不会上免费的百度啊？！！！！ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Rewelacyjna pomoc w nauce chemii i nie tylko! *2026-05-06, version 3.1.3* Syn uwielbia tę książkę plus dodatek z doświadczeniami, wiedzą zdobytą z obu wersji przydala się na egzaminy z chemii i fizyki w klasie 7. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-04-02, version 3.1.3* I didn't care for Chemistry when I was in high school and later at M.I.T. untill I ran into this app. It is the best introduction to the elements and I put it on my educational website of best educational apps for the iPad and smart phones and tablets. Runs on my Mac too. ### 5/5 — The Elements *2025-02-28, version 3.1.3* You know what you can get for free On your own website or whatever it says You have a good idea about what you’re doing ### 5/5 — Good review *2024-11-13, version 3.1.3* This app is very fun. It shows stuff about every element, and it’s just like the book. Except you can make the stuff spin. But what I like about it is that it’s only $9.99 (that’s not expensive). I was thinking of getting it four star review but I think five should be better. There’s a reason why most people give it a five star review. I wanted to give it a four star review because some of the stuff from the book are not in here. But grabs my attention most of all is that it says that seaborgium (106) is the first element to be named after a person that was still alive. but this is not true. Einsteinium (99) was created in 1952. And Albert Einstein (born 1879)died in 1955. If it is true that element 106 is the first element to be named after someone that was still alive, then Einstein must have been named Einstein after Einstein died (same with fermium). This is my very first review. ### 5/5 — Good review *2024-10-20* This app is very fun. It shows stuff about every element, and it’s just like the book. Except you can make the stuff spin.

The knowledge it contains is as essential to understanding what we see around us as literacy. Worlds open. ### 5/5 — 버그 수정 *2024-07-20* 안녕하세요? 저는 4달정도 이 앱을 이용했는데 원소와 관련된 그림을 크게보다가 조금식 줄이다가 글쪽에 넣으면 딱! 화면이 멈춰요. 수정 부탁드립니다!!! ### 5/5 — 🥰 *2024-06-26, version 3.1.3* Amazing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
