Chemistry

Hey SCARTies! Here is our first app review to get you through those monday blues💙
Enjoy!

Chemistry
Available on iOS and Android
Free
This app has options to search for some well known equations of simple molecules along with lists of electronegativities of atoms, solubilities of ions, strength/pKa of acids and more. There is also a feature which allows you to calculate molecular mass of any given molecule and an added periodic table feature with links to Wikipedia pages for elements.

Criteria
1. Ease of use   ⭐⭐⭐


2. Accessibility   ⭐⭐⭐⭐


3. Graphics    ⭐⭐


4. App Performance    ⭐⭐⭐⭐


5. Content    ⭐⭐⭐


6. Relevance    ⭐⭐⭐


7. User Reviews   4.5/5



SCART notes: The purpose of this app is a bit unclear initially but the tab feature makes it easier to navigate and explore its different functions. The graphics are pretty poor, its clear there hasn’t been a lot of time spent making it look aesthetically pleasing as the interface is very basic. Despite this, the different functions of the app seem to work well and the app can cope with information for more complex molecules. The function for searching reaction equations is super helpful as very little input is required to produce a myriad of balanced equations/info. However, content is relatively unoriginal, there are lots of apps available with the same sort of information in a similar format. Its also worth noting that although the user reviews on the Apple app store give a 4.5/5 rating, this is only based on 8 user reviews.

SCART recommendations: Undergraduate students and researchers may find it handy to use as molecular weights can be calculated quickly and the information is provided in an easy to read/compare format.

SCART score:    ⭐⭐⭐⭐


Lots of Love

Chemical Detectives

Chemical Detectives Available on iOS and Android Free Chemical Detectives is a spectroscopy quiz app in which you are given the spectroscopic data for a molecule and you have to work out the molecule being represented. Screen Recording Screenshots Criteria E ase of Us e – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Accessibility – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Graphics – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Performance – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Content – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Relevance – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ User Reviews – 4.7 / 5 SCART notes : The app contains the spectroscopic data of over 100 molecules. For each question you are given the carbon NMR, hydrogen NMR, infrared and mass spectroscopy as well as the elemental percentage mass breakdown. With this data you have to work out the molecule that is being represented. On the main page of the app you can alter the quiz by setting a time limit or number of questions asked. The difficulty of the questions asked can also be changed between easy, medium and hard with easy g...

Pocket Notes - GCSE Science

Pocket Notes – GCSE Chemistry Available only on Apple devices Free Pocket Notes – GCSE Science is an app spefically target for GCSE level students(funnily enough) for revision purposes only. It provides notes on all areas of the GCSE Chemistry, Physics and Biology curriculum but we are just going to review the chemistry bits. Screenshots Criteria E ase of Ease of use  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Accessibility  ⭐⭐ Graphics   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ App Performance   ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Content  ⭐⭐ Relevance   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ User Reviews  4.5 /5 SCART notes: The level of content provided by this app is just enough. Separate explanations could be provided to cater for students who require a different way to look at fundamental ideas. In saying this, the app is extremely useful for its intended purpose – revision for GCSE Chemistry students. The notes are very clearly laid out in a logical way and are colourful...

Periodic Table by RSC

Periodic Table by RSC Available on Apple and Android devices Free Periodic Table is an app created by the Royal Society of Chemistry which provides detailed information and interesting facts about each element in a compact, easy to use format. Screenshots Screen Recording Criteria E ase of Us e – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Accessibility – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Graphics – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Performance – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Content – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Relevance – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ User Reviews – 4.6 / 5 SCART Notes :  Overall, this app provides a very comprehensive and complete Periodic Table of elements . The scope of content included on each element is detailed and laid out in a modern and aesthetically pleasing app. The app however has some flaws which make it more difficult to use than other periodic table apps such as 'Periodic' (which has been reviewed already - go check it out!) where the app can be used in landscape...
