SCART notes: The app has a large back catalogue of issues to read from. These issues can be downloaded individually on to your device for offline reading. Unlike some other magazine reader apps where the whole page is just scanned in, the Chemistry World app has each individual article as a new page of the app. This makes reading each article easy as there is no screen adjustment required to view the article properly. The app also has a scrapbook to save favourite articles or ones to read later, a share button and a search tool which allows you to search keywords throughout that entire issue.

Useful features of this app include the option to vary the size of text which makes the app highly accessible. Also when you close an issue and open it up again the issue opens on the article you were reading last time. Another useful feature is that once you have finished reading a particular issue you can archive the issue to delete the copy from you device freeing up space.   

SCART recommendations: Overall this is a really good app that can be used on the go to catch up on the latest chemistry news. The content in the magazine is targeted towards all chemists from undergraduate level up. Its easy to use and read layout makes it perfect whether you just have a spare five minutes to read a couple of articles or want to read the whole magazine.

SCART score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 Lots of Love

When you open the app your camera opens and you can place these element cards in the view of your camera to show an AR element animation on top of the cards.
