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

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...

KingDraw Chemical Structure Editor

KingDraw Chemical Structure Editor Available on iOS and Android Free KingDraw chemical structure editor is a chemical molecular drawing app that allows users to view and create molecular structures and reactions on the go. Screen Recording Screenshots Criteria Ease of Use – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Accessibility – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Graphics – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Performance – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Content – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Relevance – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ User Reviews – 4.7 SCART notes: The app is clean, simple and laid out well. It includes a short tutorial the first time you open the app explaining how to use all of the features. The app looks and feels similar to ChemDraw (a popular molecule editor used by chemists) and shares many useful features such as the clean-up structure feature and a feature to add pre-made molecules. The app advertises that it has a cloud function along with a desktop program so you can edit molecules on your mobile device and view them on your desktop and vice ver...

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...
