SCART notes:
We have found this app to be a very fun and addictive game to have on your phone. With its simplistic yet effective layout and its speedy boot up and performance speeds it is far from a nuisance to mess about with. Although it thrives in these aspects of the app, it falls short in the scope and depth of content involved. The levels do get harder from the start and the app does introduce more complex organic molecules however we feel there is a point in this app where the difficulty does not increase anymore and therefore people with an existing knowledge and understanding of chemical molecules may begin to find themselves getting bored of the app shortly into using it as the levels will not take long to complete at the hands of a molecule enthusiast. For a younger audience however, we understand it could be a very useful tool for them to start to build their knowledge and understanding of basic molecules.

SCART recommendations:
For reasons explained above, we would very much recommend this app to students of all ages in secondary school as a useful and fun way to learn about molecules. We would also recommend this app to undergraduate chemistry students, as it is a fun and easy way to make yourself feel smart!

SCART score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lots of love,

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.

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
