Want to refresh your memory on named chemical reactions before an exam or a group meeting? Get all the details with ReactionFlash(R) as a great way to learn named reactions, understand their mechanisms and view examples published in peer-reviewed literature. Designed and developed in consultation with Professor Dr. Erick M. Carreira of ETH Zürich, the app covers 1'266 named chemical reactions, by far the largest collection of Named Reactions. Professor Carreira has helped ensure that we have all the fundamental reactions that should be part of every chemist’s toolkit: from the best-known ones to the ones only Nobel Prize winners remember! The app is designed like a set of flash cards so it can be used as a learning tool as well as a reference. Each ‘card’ shows the reaction, its mechanism and examples from peer-reviewed, published literature. It also has a quiz mode that lets you test your knowledge. Linking into Reaxys enables you to find the most recent examples of each reaction, many with experimental details. Reaxys delivers experimental facts from the literature, enabling researchers to find the best synthetic routes and conditions.

Ultimate Chemistry Calculator
This app offers nine specialized calculators for mole-related conversions, including grams to moles and moles to particles (atoms or molecules). It visually sets up conversion problems, allowing users to input numbers and calculate results. A review section provides a brief overview of mole conversions.

The "Ultimate Chemistry Calculator" contains nine specialized calculators that perform specific types of mole related conversions. These conversions involve converting from one unit to a goal unit within the general bidirectional pathway Grams to Moles to Particles, where Particles represents Atoms or Molecules. However, if working with Molecules, it is also possible to convert to Atoms. Upon choosing which conversion is needed, users can choose the calculations tab and simply type in the numbers given within a conversion problem and press calculate. What's great about this app is that upon moving over to the calculations tab after selecting a calculator, the entire problem is already setup visually in terms of how many ratios are present for the particular conversion problem (the user just has to punch in the numbers). There is also a brief review of mole conversions within the review section located under the Review tab.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ultimate Chemistry Calculator at 100% against ReactionFlash's 81%. Ultimate Chemistry Calculator also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). ReactionFlash's advantage is ratings volume (42 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Ultimate Chemistry Calculator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ReactionFlash has 42 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of ReactionFlash's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ultimate Chemistry Calculator's.
