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

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...
