User Reviews – 4.5 / 5
SCART notes: When the app is opened a vertical list of all the elements is shown instead of the normal periodic table. For each element the number, symbol, name and atomic mass is shown. There are three toggle buttons, which when pressed show the melting and boiling point, the electron configuration of the element and the electronegativity values for each element. At the bottom of this screen there is a switch-view button which changes the list into the conventional periodic table layout.

Due to its minimalistic look and feel, the app is fast and easy to use. The app has an optional dark mode in the setting which turns the app from a white background with black text to a dark purple background with white text, making it less harsh on the eyes.
Unlike other periodic table apps it can be used in portrait view. This is an easier and more natural way to view the app.            

The main downside to the app is that there is no iOS version making it inaccessible to many. 
Also there was originally a glitch within the app which linked searched for elements to the wrong information, e.g. if you searched for Iron the element information for Hydrogen would appear. As a result of this I wrote a review for the app explaining the problem and the developer fixed the app within a few days This is impressive and shows that if any future problems occur the developer will sort them out quickly.


SCART recommendations: This app could be used by chemists and chemistry students of all levels and although there is nowhere near as much information for each element compared to other periodic table apps, this is an app which is fast and easy to use. The fact that there is no iOS version is a shame but this is something that can be added in the future.

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. If you bring two cards together that can bond, the elements will bond on your screen. Once a compound has formed you can place the information card near the compound to see more information about the reaction. As this app is in beta (still being developed) ther
