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

Our Final Thoughts

Hello again SCARTies, for the last time ever from the OG founders😭😭 Over the last four weeks, we have managed to review a wide range of chemistry apps from addicting chemistry games to advanced chemical structure building apps – allowing us to build a solid rapport of the apps that are available on each software platform. It has been an enjoyable process witnessing over 650 of you joining the gang   and visiting the SCART blog, and nursing our baby Instagram page to over 50 followers - something we are very proud of considering our short time-frame. Generally from the apps we have reviewed we can say that chemistry content in all apps is generally really informative and accurate. With such a large number of apps available, we expected to see a lot of well functioning apps with aesthetic interface but this actually hasn't been the case. For this reason the apps we have reviewed tends to be the ones that we've been able to use with little difficulty. There are so many ga...
