From Theodore Gray comes a beautifully produced app introducing and educating users on the elements of the periodic table and how they combine to form the world around us. The Elements is a rich and engaging love story, told in words and pictures - allowing you to experience the beauty and fascination of the building blocks of our universe in a way you've never seen before.
Start off on a living periodic table where every element is shown with a smoothly rotating sample. To read about gold, tap the gold nugget. Immediately you see the sample filling the screen, photographed to razor sharpness and rotating around a complete circle in front of your eyes. Enjoy the extensive array of facts and figures. Next find a fascinating story about the element, surrounded by carefully photographed objects representing it. Every one of these objects, well over 500 in total, is a freely rotatable, live object that you can examine from all sides and pinch zoom to see in unprecedented detail.
Touch the element name at the top of the page and you can see that element’s name in over a dozen different languages. Choose one and you’ll find that the entire book, stories, captions and all, switches to that language: The Elements includes both the full English original text and over a dozen full translations.
Pinch-zoom or tap any object to bring it up full screen, where you can split into a pair of stereo 3D images, allowing you to see all 500 objects pop off the screen in 3D, and you can spin the objects, in 3D, with the touch of a finger.
This book will show everyone there’s a lot more to the periodic table than a bunch of numbers and letters.
Features include:
• Beautifully composed pages for every Element in the periodic table
• Fun stories and fascinating facts
• All objects pinch-zoom with amazing detail and rotate in 3D
• Engaging introduction explaining the structure of the periodic table
• Engaging introduction explaining the structure of the periodic table
• Fully translated into English, Catalan, Croatian, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish

Een mooie en boeiende reis door de tabel van de elementen
De combinatie van prachtige afbeeldingen, animaties, getallen, geschiedenis en wat verdere uitleg maken van dit naslagwerk een stevige brok om je honger naar kennis mee te stillen. Een echte aanrader voor zowel het onderwijs als voor iedereen die een beetje leergierig is.
Une merveille
Un vrai plaisir de s'y plonger, c'est extrêmement bien réalisé et instructif.
sympa
Un peu cher... toutes les photos sont en 3D ce qui est assez remarquable... Cependant, il y a peu de texte par élements, et ca c'est vraiment dommage, on aurait pu aller bcp plus loin dans l'utilité/fonctionnement de chaque élément. Et puis il manque surtout une explication sur la provenance des éléments !! Exemple le Fluor, on trouve ca ou ?? L'application ne vous le dira pas.
Fantastisch, maar lange downloadtijd
Dit is echt een mooie app. Voor mij, 4e middelbaar wetenschappen, is dit zeer handig. Het enige minpunt is dat het een enorm groot bestand is. 1,7 GB!
Aangezien ik maar 16 gig heb en mijn iPad voor vanalles gebruik, is hij snel vol.
Een klein detail is dat hij in het Engels is, maar dat heeft niet.
Super!
Même si l'on est pas parfait bilingue cette apps est très bien faite et très instructive.
Great experience
Fantastic digital book, wonderful 3D images, instructive, interactive, great example of digital lecture.
Nice but not stable
Nice app with beautiful pics and interesting content. Very well done even though it does crash often and still needs improvement for this.
Not yet sure it as worth 10,99€.
Looking forward to the next updates to gain stability and really enjoy it.
