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 versa. However, we were not able to create a cloud account during the time of testing. This is a problem as the only way to use the created molecules is to email yourself the file and open it in their desktop program (which is in Chinese and hard to use). From here you can copy and paste it into Word, PowerPoint etc. or export it into another molecule editor like ChemDraw for further editing.  


SCART recommendation: Overall this app is great for drawing chemical molecules and reactions and could be used by chemists and chemistry students of all levels and fields. However, the process of transferring structures from the app is challenging and at the moment limits its functionality.


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
