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 giving you multiple choice answers whereas with medium and hard you have to type in your answers. The molecules are classified into compound groups so you can practise specific types of molecules or a mixture of them all.

SCART recommendations: This app would be really useful for undergraduate students who are learning/practising how to identify molecules from spectroscopic data.

SCART score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

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

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 and portrait mo

Chemistry AR (BETA)

Chemistry AR (BETA) Available on Android Free Chemistry AR is an app that uses your device's camera and printed element cards to show you an augmented reality representation of how the elements bond and information on the compound. Screen Recording Screenshots Criteria Ease of Use – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Accessibility – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Graphics – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Performance – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Content – ⭐ ⭐ Relevance – ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ User Reviews – N/A SCART notes: To get the app to work you have to print and cut out these element cards. 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
