Description

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

I heart the elements

Banbury888 on

I love premier inn and the Weymouth seafront site brings the elements to lift

So good I had to buy it twice!

John O'Caerleon on

As an early adopter I bought this app to show off the potential of my new iPad, the one without a camera. Storage was an issue as has been pointed out this isn’t a small app and used up a chunk of the limited storage so at some point I uninstalled it. This was before the current App Store when apps were controlled through iTunes. Eventually I bought an iPhone but was unable to reinstall the app as any reference to my purchase has disappeared. I love the app. but having to pay twice was disappointing.

😀😀😀

“Tidy”

Paid twice for the same app

I had brought this app a year ago for £8.99 and since the upgrade to IOS 11 it did not work so I looked on my purchased items and found that it no longer worked with IOS 11. However in the App Store the upgrade was £8.99 and so I had to purchase it again if I ever wanted the app to run. I thought that when you brought the original app any future upgrades and development were included in the price. Apparently not with these developers... roll on IOS 12 another £8.99 anyone...not very impressed, very greedy.

Really slick. Lovely attention to detail.

I love this app. Although it cost a pretty penny it was worth the money. Thanks indeed go to the author/maker for his amazing attention to detail. An example of which is that you can spin the sample pictures to view from all around. He could have left it at that but he went further to allow different spin rates and the detail that the spin rate gradually slows down. The text is interesting and funny. My favourite app without a doubt. Looking forward to the next in the series.

The Elements

Rocking Baz on

Excellent app for both students in education and students of life, each element is explained both graphically and in text. It is highly recommended.

Fantastic

HelloWorldHello on

Please could you adjust, when you go to another and then come back, it goes back to exactly where you are instead of the homepage?

It's everything there is, and ever could be

Rory the Border on

This is sublimely beautiful, incredibly informative, witty... Life, the universe and everything reduced to its constituent parts. And to think I nearly bought the paper book, which is far heavier and in 2D only. This is probably the best non-gaming app on the market, though- caveat emptor- it is quite big... For those that don't care for this sort of thing, there's always Twitter I suppose- there's absolutely no substance there, after all. This, meanwhile, is every substance there is- and with 3D pictures! I'd ask for more but there can be no more, can there?

Good content cut off from view

Ajp108 on

Could be a great app - except that the end parts of the text per element is cut off by the text viewer - making an unknown number of sentences un-accessible

Pretty disappointing given the price

Chris Noble on

Basically an onscreen book with a simple 3d picture for each element and some data pulled from Wolfram Alpha. Would have probably been better off getting the book. Gimmicky.
