Meh
This app is so pointless (watched all vid in about 15min, better ones are available on YouTube), I don't want to take the risk of buying Molecules. Elements is so great, the bar was so high..but this seems slapped together.
Description
‘One of my favourite science-based apps...The Elements in Action is easy to navigate and attractively designed.’
– The New York Times
The periodic table comes to life with 79 video explorations of the weird, wonderful, and sometimes alarming properties of the elements. Filmed by BAFTA award winner Max Whitby in partnership with Theodore Gray, author of the iconic book and app The Elements, and previously available only in a few museum installations, this is the most beautifully filmed collection videos ever assembled to explore and explain what makes each element unique and fascinating.
What happens when highly reactive rubidium is dropped into water? Or when a cannonball is placed in a pool of mercury? The Elements in Action shows you one definitive demonstration for (almost) every element, ranging from the bizarre to the sublime, all assembled in one place for you to view in the comfort and safety of your iPad, with very little danger of death by fire, dismemberment, or poisoning.
The Elements in Action works as a stand-alone app, but really shines when combined with the original app, The Elements: A Visual Exploration. Installed together, the two apps find each other and link together, allowing you to flip seamlessly between viewing the elements as objects of contemplation in the original, and objects of dynamic action in the second.
Touch Press is the publisher of twenty of the most widely admired apps in the world, including the original Elements app, a milestone in digital publishing, as well as Barefoot World Atlas, selected by Apple as one of the ten best apps ever created in the history of the App Store, and Disney Animated, the definitive living story of Disney animated movies.

Very good!
Hey kid
Dude they are blocked out because they either exist for seconds or illegal to own! Great app
Super cool
I think I learned more in 20 mins with this app then in all of my science classes in high school. Missing a few of the elements they seem to be greyed out but im sure theyll fix that up in no time.
Not all there....
This isn't bad but not all of the elements are there, some are "greyed out". When you try and touch them nothing happens. It doesn't even tell you what it is. So I'm only giving it 2 stars for that reason. It's missing a ton of info, or another way of looking at it is that it is only half done.. $3.99 is to much for a half done app. What I think they want you to do (to fill in the greyed out elements) is to buy a second elements app. That one is $13.99... Lol Actually they just lost another star.... I'm down to 1 here.. May sound harsh but really make one app and I will buy it.. Don't start breaking it up and make me spend almost $20 to get all the info that this app should have had.
Bravo!!
Très très belle application. Il y a longtemps que je n'avais pas vue une application aussi intéressante et captivante. Bravo!
