It is very hard to tap and select what you want and using an Apple Pencil is worse than your bare fingers. -- <3Chemistry, 2020-07-23 ### **--- "Great Potential App" If this app can faster with options like the chem draw, i would buy it. but this is too slow and lousy for now. i hope for a good update. -- Gov1985, 2018-12-19 ### *---- "needs work" I was looking for chem draw when I stumbled upon this app. The app has potential, but the program doesn’t respond to touch. i even tried my apple pencil and i got nothing. -- moeealyse, 2018-08-27 ### **--- "Not responsive/slow" This app has so much potential it just doesn’t respond to touch very well. I had to tap on the same thing so many times in the menu just to be able to select it and then sometimes I would tap too much and place something where I didn’t want to so I had to waste more time going back to the menu to select the erase button. -- Maria Rodela, 2018-06-26 ### ****- "decent app (and suggestion)" This application does what it advertises. One suggestion that would be helpful is to allow the generation of IUPAC names and vice versa, generation of structures from SMILES or IUPAC name. -- 6170706c6520757365720a, 2018-04-01 ### *---- "Horrible on iPad" If you have this on iPad, delete it. That is all. -- NoOneInParticular001, 2017-10-19 ### ****- "Some utility but needs some work" Wanted to have something for my organic 1 semester nursing students to use. It is fine except it is not always responsive to every screen touch. It often selects items as if to copy text rather than selecting function. Also, most chem sketch types of programs allow one to clean up length and angle of bonds. I can't find this function. -- Kekuna, 2017-09-01 ### ****- "We're is the "periodic table" button on iPhone" Were is it? I looked for the button an it wasn't there, can you update it so i can click on the button I was looking for -- Miraclern, 2017-08-17 ### **--- "Frustrating" Let me start with the positive: only free app and it can draw some basic molecules ok. Manipulating parts is frustrating. The drop down menus are very unresponsive. I would like to see a polymer chain capability and also ability to show C in some bonds (e.g. the isocyanate group). I can use with some patience. -- Pacoel52, 2016-04-30 ### ***** "An amazing tool! A few fixes and additions needed." This is an excellent little tool for learning about molecules or simply playing around. I can finally figure out if it's possible to make Boron-based proteins! MUCH NEEDED: The ability to delete custom molecules from molecule list, and the option for partial bonds and three-center two-electron bonds. MUST BE FIXED: I saved three molecules successfully. I tried to save more, and at first they were saved, but then I closed the app and opened it later and they were gone. It has been doing this since. -- SlugShotSniper, 2014-06-23 ### ***** "An Amazing Sketch Utility" What an extraordinary surprise! Hoping to find an app that would allow one to "sketch" molecular structures, I stumbled upon Elemental. After watching the short video tutorial I was able to easily start using the app and learning the ins and outs of its functionality. It didn't take long before I was able to sketch a decent looking triglyceride structure having sixty-three atoms . . . on my iPhone! There are built in functional groups including a variety of carbon rings having straight carbon, or carbon-nitrogen or carbon-oxygen atoms. You can easily replace any atom using a common atom set, but the app offers the functionality to add any element in the periodic table by typing in the atomic symbol. You can rotate groups of atoms or functional groups to improve your sketch. There are configuration options the allow the user to: display atom numbers, warn when valence is exceeded, and display tips. The app allows the standard iPhone zoom in and zoom out functionality. You can easily add or modify a charge number for any atom. There are undo and redo options if you make a mistake. You can save your work as an image, add it to Dropbox or email it. I could go on, but will summarize by attesting that this app allowed me to do exactly what I wanted in a very short period of time. There were no crashes or unexpected behavior. The interface is clean and well built. You will be happy with Elemental if you need to sketch any structure seen in an organic chemistry class. Well done Dotmatics. You've hit this one out of the park! -- Mashara!, 2014-05-17 ### ***** "An Organic Chem Student Must Have" Elemental not only allows you to build molecules, it auto-protonates your heteroatoms depending on the bond it is assigned. I can easily write reactions, save those reactions to my camera roll, and insert the image into my notes or presentations, which is more than I can say for the expensive apps that only allow one to build a single molecule. I would suggest making a paid version where one can push electrons and write mechanisms, however. Otherwise, I am very pleased. -- Onelovelola, 2013-12-04 ### **--- "Fix the bug" The current version would have received 5 stars except I am still only able to have one reaction arrow at a time on screen. This is absolutely ridiculous, I waited to post a review until the upgrade thinking this would be fixed and it was not. You cannot show multistep reactions with this app. Clearly the ball was dropped somewhere. All of the other operations with this app are great. If they ever fix this bug I will rate 5 stars. -- Justincaseyphillippi, 2013-08-24 ### ***** "Nothing like portable chemistry!" Great work on making this tool accessible on the go and sending ideas to my notebook page while I'm on a lunch break or on the campus shuttle! -- Frankdudepa, 2013-06-06 ### ***-- "Org" Curved arrows are a must! Those would make this app so much more useful for online lecture creation! -- OrgProf, 2013-05-31 ### ***-- "Some errors" When it says to place an element, I think it means that element not a molecule or some compound. If I place nitrogen I want "N" not NH 3 And the app takes awhile to respond to what I do. -- WarGeneral, 2013-03-28 ### **--- "Some problems" Please fix the arrow problem in this version! Writing formula is challenging since there are no super or subscripts. Formulas and symbols must be imported from another app. Only one arrow is allowed which is crazy for a drawing app. Curved arrows for electron pushing would be outstanding. Do tat and you have a 5 star app! -- Lfffjyvushtv, 2013-03-06 ### **--- "Great app" This WAS a great app. In the latest update, I was hoping for the ability to draw arrows, make compounds that are not carbon based for reactions, and control of the size of the font in text boxes. Instead, the text box no longer works and only one arrow is allowed at a time. Very unhappy with this update and wish I could uninstall and go back to the previous version. -- angscully2, 2013-03-02 ### ***** "Great!" Awesome app! Really helps with the visualization of molecules. :) -- 8:8478;9, 2013-02-21 ### ****- "Cool, but could be improved." Draws nice structures, but the app is slow to respond. Once they fix that, rxn arrows would be nice. -- sean918, 2012-12-25 [View all Elemental reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Elemental Discovered Keywords - element - elemental - kingdraw ## Apps Similar to Elemental - [Be Focused – Deep Focus Timer](https://apptail.io/app/be-focused-deep-focus-timer-Dzg/united-states) - [QuickNotes X: Notes, AI & PDF](https://apptail.io/app/quicknotes-x-notes-ai-pdf-eqh/united-states) - [Notes Writer - Note Taking](https://apptail.io/app/notes-writer-note-taking-bAp/united-states) - [Highlights: PDF Reader & Notes](https://apptail.io/app/highlights-pdf-reader-notes-Hsu/united-states) - [PDF 阅读 – PDFelement](https://apptail.io/app/pdf-pdfelement-WlI/united-states) - [Animation Sketch](https://apptail.io/app/animation-sketch-oXL/united-states) - [PDF Translator: Translate](https://apptail.io/app/pdf-translator-translate-zQsb/united-states) - [LiquidText](https://apptail.io/app/liquidtext-hlMe/united-states) - [MyScript Notes: AI Handwriting](https://apptail.io/app/myscript-notes-ai-handwriting-qCCk/united-states) - [Minimalist Whiteboard](https://apptail.io/app/minimalist-whiteboard-Kybl/united-states) ## Elemental Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/united-states) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/united-kingdom) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/mexico) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/switzerland) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/taiwan) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/australia) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/colombia) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/brazil) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/turkey) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/india) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/japan) - [South Korea](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/south-korea) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/canada) - [Philippines](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/philippines) - [Russia](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/russia) - [Saudi Arabia](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/saudi-arabia) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/chile) - [Madagascar](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/madagascar) - [North Macedonia](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/north-macedonia) - [Malaysia](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/malaysia) - [Nigeria](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/nigeria) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/norway) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/new-zealand) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/peru) - [Pakistan](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/pakistan) - [Qatar](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/qatar) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/singapore) - [Thailand](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/thailand) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/ukraine) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/vietnam) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/united-arab-emirates) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/south-africa) - [Armenia](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/armenia) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/argentina) - [Brunei](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/brunei) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/belarus) - [Dominican Republic](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/dominican-republic) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/algeria) - [Ecuador](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/ecuador) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/egypt) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/hong-kong) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/indonesia) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/israel) - [Iceland](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/iceland) - [Kuwait](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/kuwait) - [Kazakhstan](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/kazakhstan) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/lebanon) - [Sri Lanka](https://apptail.io/app/elemental-Gcdd/sri-lanka) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
