Checked data, with its sources in plain sight. Periodic Table is the chemistry reference that fits in your pocket: all 118 elements, 147 reactions, 22 lab tables, quizzes and eleven calculators. No ads, no account, works offline. DATA YOU CAN TRUST • Checked against PubChem, IUPAC, NIST and the IAEA. The sources are listed in the app, under More › Data sources. • A value with no reliable published measurement shows as unknown (---), never made up. Elements 119 to 124 are marked as hypothetical. ELEVEN LAB CALCULATORS Free in their basic modes, with history: molar mass and composition, empirical formula, inorganic and organic nomenclature (IUPAC), equation balancing (redox too) with ΔH°, ΔS°, ΔG° and K, solutions (molarity, dilution, molality), gases, colligative properties, equilibrium with ICE tables, pH, electrochemical cells and analytical statistics. With Pro: stoichiometry, mass percent and ppm, gas mixtures, vapor pressure, Le Chatelier with numbers, buffers, the Nernst equation, combustion analysis, confidence intervals and outlier tests (Dixon's Q and Grubbs). QUIZZES BUILT FROM THE DATA Questions are generated from the app's own data, and every answer shows the value it rests on, with a link to where that value lives. Eight topics, three levels. Practice is free and unlimited; the timed exam and spaced review are Pro. EVERY ELEMENT IN DEPTH • Over 70 physical, thermal, atomic, crystal, safety (NFPA 704) and abundance properties, from the Earth and the Sun to the human body. The advanced ones with Pro. • Orbital diagram with Hund's rule, unpaired electrons and the ground-state term. If the real configuration breaks the Madelung rule, it says so. • Shell model, emission spectrum, natural isotopes and real photos of 97 elements, credited. • Touch and hold a value to copy it; tap its name to see what it means. • Favorites, your own notes, and two or three elements side by side. TWO TAPS TO ANY VALUE • Search by name, symbol, atomic number, Latin or English name, CAS number or family. • The full table, with family filters and a heat map. • 38 sortable lists (28 free) and a trends chart. • 147 reactions with their conditions, oxidation-state changes, precipitates and ΔH°, ΔS°, ΔG° and K at 25 °C, ready to balance in one tap. • A 173-term glossary linked to the data. • 22 tables, 10 free (solubility, reduction potentials, acids and bases, Ksp, thermodynamic data, cryoscopic and ebullioscopic constants…) and 12 with Pro (ionization energies, van der Waals, critical values for t, F, Q and Grubbs, Henry's law…). ON ALL YOUR DEVICES iPhone, iPad and Mac with Apple silicon. An Apple Watch app with all 124 elements that works without your iPhone. Element of the Day (also on the Lock Screen) and Favorites widgets. Siri, Shortcuts and Spotlight. In 20 languages, with VoiceOver, larger text, Dark Mode and a shape for each family if you can't tell the colors apart. FREE AND PRO, NO FINE PRINT Free: the table, search, each element's core data, 10 tables, 28 lists, reactions, the glossary, quiz practice, all eleven calculators in their basic modes, the watch app, widgets and three themes. Pro: the other 12 tables and 10 lists; advanced data such as magnetic and electrical properties, the critical point and every radioactive isotope; timed exam, spaced review and stats; the calculators' advanced modes; PDF export; and ten more themes. Pay once for Pro and it's yours for life, no subscription needed. If you prefer, there are also monthly and yearly plans; all three unlock the same things. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and are managed in your Apple Account settings.

The DOST Courseware is a locally-produced, all-original Filipino highly interactive multimedia educational application packages that are conceptualized, digitized and produced as spearheaded by the Science Education Institute (SEI-DOST) in partnership with the Advanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI-DOST) and in cooperation with the Department of Education (DepEd), Philippine Normal University (PNU) and University of the Philippines-National Institute for Science and Mathematics Education (UP-NISMED), which aims to develop information and communication technology learning innovation to support the upgrading and improvement of science and mathematics education in the country. The DOST Courseware are provided for free to schools and are also made available online as supplemental resources for teachers and student as a fun and interactive approach to e-learning and blended learning. The Grade 7 DOST Courseware is composed of 120 lessons overall, 73 lessons in Science where it covered the domains on: Matter; Force, Motion and Energy, Living Things and Their Environment and Earth and Space while the 60 lessons in Mathematic covered the domains on: Numbers and Number Sense, Patterns and Algebra, and Geometry. The Grade 8 DOST Courseware is composed of 118 lessons overall, 61 lessons in Science where it covered the domains on: Parts and Functions, Ecosystems, Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits, Structures and Functions, Biodiversity, and Evolution, while the 57 lessons in Mathematics covered the domains on: Linear Equations, Quadratic Equations, Rational Algebraic Equations, Integral Exponents, Radicals, Arithmetic Sequence and Geometric Sequence. The themes of the courseware for Grades 7 and 8, Magicademy, Freddy’s Lab and D’nayao will surely amuse the users as they explore these distinct worlds while learning at the same time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scientific Method at none against Periodic Table and Chemistry's 3. Scientific Method also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Periodic Table and Chemistry's advantage is device support. On price there is nothing between them.
