Chemmory is a simple, engaging memory game that helps you learn chemical elements. Practice names, symbols, atomic numbers, valencies, atomic masses and more β€” you decide what to study. A unique hint system not only makes matching easier, it also reinforces recall so you remember faster. HOW IT WORKS Flip cards as in classic memory and match the correct pairs. Choose the content you want (e.g., names + symbols, valency, mass), and pick how much assistance you get from hints. Your best runs are saved locally so you can beat your own records. FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS β€’ Memory mode with element cards (symbol, name, atomic number, etc.) β€’ Configurable learning scope and hints β€’ Several hidden mini-games for variety β€’ Full localization of element names: Polish, English, Russian, Spanish, French, German β€’ Sound effects and light animations β€’ Local leaderboard and stats β€’ Works fully offline, no ads, no tracking β€’ Supports older iPhones WHO IS IT FOR? Students preparing for tests, teachers looking for a quick warm-up, and younger players who enjoy bite-sized learning. Use Chemmory for daily practice, quick quizzes, or revising the periodic table on the go. PRIVACY Chemmory works offline and does not collect personal data. Scores and settings are stored on your device only. Have fun and happy learning!

About

Start Physics

Read full description

Study school physics in one flow: concepts, worked examples, practice, review. The app follows your device language β€”β€” English or Korean. Switch at any time; your records carry over. β–  It traces the gap If you keep missing conservation of mechanical energy and the real gap is in work and kinetic energy, solving the same problem a hundred more times will not help. This app gathers the concepts behind your wrong answers, walks back along the prerequisites to the weakest one, and tells you where to start again. A unit you reach this way opens its concepts and examples even when it is locked, and it stays open. Sometimes the gap is in math; the card then opens that unit in our Start Math app. β–  Constants are given inside the problem Some textbooks take gravitational acceleration as 9.8 m/sΒ², others as 10. If the answer depends on which book you own, that is guessing, not study. Every problem states the constants it needs: "Take g = 10 m/sΒ²." β–  A grader that knows units If the answer is 40 N, 0.04 kN is right too. Unit prefixes, conversions such as km/h to m/s, and tolerance for decimal answers are all handled, and every grading rule is covered by automated tests so that a right answer is never marked wrong. Questions never say "answer in newtons". The answer box shows the unit. Written answers accept the forms people actually write β€”β€” "valence band" or "the valence band", "3" or "3 times". β–  Wrong answers come back when you are about to forget Missed problems go into a review notebook and return after 1, 3, 7, 16 and 35 days. Get one right and the interval grows; miss it again and it starts over. You can mark why you missed it β€”β€” a slip in the math, an idea you misunderstood, or a question you misread. A slip does not lower your mastery of the concept, and it comes back in three days instead of one. β–  Formulas and diagrams are typeset, not pasted No formula is an image. Fractions, radicals and vector arrows are drawn by typesetting rules, so nothing blurs when you make the text larger. Free-body diagrams, circuits, magnetic fields, energy levels and ray diagrams for lenses β€”β€” 142 figures drawn from coordinates. With VoiceOver, formulas and units are read aloud the way a teacher says them β€”β€” "1 over 2", "meters per second squared". β–  Concepts you can move Six simulations β€”β€” resultant force, gravity and weight, elastic force, friction, buoyancy, and how a net force changes motion. Drag the values and watch what happens; it is quicker than reading about it. β–  What is inside Β· Middle School Physics (Grades 7–9) β€”β€” forces, heat, light and waves, electricity and magnetism, motion and energy (345 problems) Β· Integrated Science: Physics (Grade 10) β€”β€” foundations of science, mechanical systems, electrical properties of matter, power generation (263 problems) Β· Physics (Grade 11) β€”β€” equilibrium, momentum and energy, heat, electric fields and circuits, induction, light and lenses, quanta and matter (483 problems) Β· Mechanics and Energy (Career Elective) β€”β€” motion in a plane, gravity and space, heat and thermodynamics, oscillations and sound (345 problems) Β· Electromagnetism and Quantum Physics (Career Elective) β€”β€” electric fields, induction, semiconductors, light and communication, the quantum world (306 problems) 126 lessons, 1,742 problems (3 extras per lesson, 4 challenges per chapter), 146 concepts and a 211-entry glossary, all in English. Every problem was written for this app. The courses follow South Korea's 2022 national curriculum, including the limits its commentary sets β€”β€” where it says a topic is to be treated qualitatively, we do not ask for numbers. β–  Buying One purchase per course. Not a subscription, never expires, Family Sharing on. Without buying, the first two lessons of every chapter stay open β€”β€” 520 problems. β–  Requirements iOS 18.0 or later. No account. Works offline. Your study records stay on your device and in your own iCloud.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chemmory at none against Start Physics's 5. Chemmory also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
