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: ⭐⭐⭐

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.

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...

Periodic Table by RSC

Periodic Table by RSC Available on Apple and Android devices Free Periodic Table is an app created by the Royal Society of Chemistry which provides detailed information and interesting facts about each element in a compact, easy to use format.
