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...

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...
