Chemistry experiments on your smartphones. You can Mix chemicals to see how they react, Burn salts to colorful flames and Heat elements to see what colors it emits There are 150 plus chemicals available to experiment with and more than 750 unique experiment simulations. Key Highlights - Adjusting the concentration and quantity of the reactants. - Regulate the temperature of the reaction. - Modify temperatures in precipitation reactions and see the effect of temperatures on solubility. - Slow down / Fast forward time. - Check the PH and PH change in a reaction, using Indicators. - Ignite flammable gases formed during reaction. Disclaimer Some reactions you will be doing in Unreal Chemist are extremely dangerous and may cause serious injury if conducted in real word. Even though most of the reactions are accurate to the real world, some reactions may be theoretical since physical verification of some reactions are not completed as of now.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Chemist Calc at 5.0 against Unreal Chemist's 4.5. Chemist Calc also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Unreal Chemist's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (68 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
