MoleculeSketch is a simple and easy to use drawing App for chemical formulas and reactions. MoleculeSketch iOS is the standalone version of MoleculeSketch for iPad. The free version offers basic functionality. The full version can be unlocked with an in-app purchase. It has following features: + add atoms and bonds nicely by position locking (can be disabled) + choose different bond types (double, stereochemical, delocalised, etc.) + add bonds with higher hapticity + type functional groups by double-clicking on symbol + show missing hydrogen atoms depending on free valences + "grow" and remove hydrogen atoms (*) + show non bonding electron pairs on heteroatoms + add reaction arrows and text fields + access drawing attributes from popover panels + calculate average mass and formula of molecules (*) + group and arrange objects (*) + change background color of drawing area and add a grid + copy/paste/cut molecules and drawings + paste drawings into other applications + import from mol/sdf files (*) + use gestures for zooming and rotation + import structures from mol- or sdf-files (*) (*) some of these features and others are only available when using the full version (inApp purchase)

About

Chemical Experiment Simulation

Features
Read full description

Chemical Experiment Simulation is a software that simulates hands-on chemical experiments on mobile phones. At the same time, it also contains a lot of rich chemical knowledge. It is a unique and interesting software. Several important functions in the software: 1. Use your own hands to arbitrarily combine experimental devices on your mobile phone, give play to your imagination, and use your chemical knowledge to create different experimental combinations. At the same time, after the experiment, we will also provide users with the experimental results and the reaction equations used in the experiment, so that users can clearly know the whole chemical reaction process. 2. View and operate case experiments. Several representative chemical experiment cases are built in the software. Users can assemble these case experiment instruments according to the prompts to complete the experiments. We also provide detailed knowledge explanation for each case experiment, so that users can understand the reaction principle and be familiar with the reaction process. 3. Check the chemical elements. The software also includes two parts: intelligent element periodic table and element list. Users can view the information of an element and its related compounds from these two interface functions as needed. At the same time, it also includes a variety of display and arrangement methods, which makes the periodic table more convenient and intelligent. 4. Check the chemicals. The software has built-in more than 100 common chemical substances. Users can find and view some chemical substances in the list of substances. The basic information of these chemical substances is listed in detail in the software, and the common chemical reaction equations involved in these substances are also listed in particular. 5. Check the chemical reaction equation. Hundreds of chemical reaction equations are built into the software, and users can find and view them in the equation list. At the same time, enter the equation details page, and users can also directly conduct experiments according to this equation and directly observe the experimental phenomena. 6. Support rich extension functions. The software allows users to add chemical substances and chemical reaction equations by themselves, and use the newly added substances or equations for experiments, which greatly improves the expansion and richness of the software. 7. The software also adds a function of compound exercise distribution map, according to which users can be familiar with the exercises between various substances. 8. Check the functions of some basic chemistry knowledge. The software has built-in many basic chemical knowledge (such as metal activity sequence table, introduction of common laboratory instruments, etc.), which users can easily view. In short, this software is a systematic expansion of chemical experiments and chemical knowledge. It makes it easier and more interesting for users to observe and learn chemical knowledge.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MoleculeSketch iP at Free against Chemical Experiment Simulation's $4.99. Chemical Experiment Simulation's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On ads there is nothing between them.
