Great but crashes

awesome app

Looks great on iPad. Very intuitive. I would suggest to add full Latin names of elements, since English names quite often do not link to them. Like SN -> Stanum = Tin and so on... Also, it would be nice if Polonium article has less stuff about KGB. Hey, this is periodic table but not the Fox News :)

Great!

Yes its great on iPad! I think i is one of the best apps in app store. (and the song is funny!)

4 баллов

Программа очень интересная и познавательная , но из-за того что она на английском приходиться переводить и того эффекта уже нету! Я буду очень рад , если программа будет на русском! The program is very interesting and cognitive, but the fact that it is in English I must to translate and there isnt effect that. I will be very glad if the program will be in Russian. Regards

Please add english

Great app but please translate into Russia, because people are confused that it has a description on Russian.

Unable to purchase complete bundle

The element program is wonderful and provides visuals and history and knowledge of the stuff the world is made of. My disappointment was when the App Store would not allow me to buy the 3 app bundle. I sent email to company and they have been slow to respond. It is frustrating that I tried to purchase the entire bundle and it only downloaded the element app. I hope its not some incompatibility to iPad Pro or the latest iOS. I was also noticing the 3D ability would glitch and only rotate one of the two images, so it would pop in and out of 3D. The images would not turn in synchronization and even freeze. Minor issues I hope they get resolved.

Persian Language

Please fully support this app for Iranian and add Persian language

Needs Stock & Classical Name Systems

This is the most awesome periodic table. I have only a few requests: 1) add stock names 2) add classical names 3) add a list of monatomic and polyatomic ions (if possible).

Storage hog!

This is a beautiful app, the look/ feel/ responsiveness are all top notch and its well worth the price. But heres the thing, unlike many (more well designed) apps, all of the content is stored on the iPad rather than on a remote server. Storage on our iOS devises is valuable stuff, in fact the average cost per Gb is about $15. In my opinion his is a high price to pay to store local data on my iPad when this app could consume less than 20Mb of space. Basically my complaint being that I dont need this data "offline" enough to warent the size it consumes. Its a fantastic app with an equally fantastic flaw. I hope to see the content moved to an online server in some upcoming version.

Top Notch!

This is one of the most useful educational apps I have ever come across. The way the content is laid out with its interactive interface is resourceful and clever. It is a top notch educational tool.

One of my favorite apps!

Ive purchased Hard Copy before. Lucky to have its corresponding iOS apps both on iPhone and iPad. I do love to read it everyday.

Beautiful eye candy, thin on content

While the photos are beautiful, the text content leaves much to be desired. It is long on the authors personal opinion, commentary, and anecdote; short on facts, history, chemistry, industrial applications and commercial information. Personally I never get tired of reading the venerable CRC Handbook section titled "The Elements". My suggestion is to license that content and make it available in the application. In fact that is sort of what I was hoping to find here. I dont regret spending the money for the app, but mainly it is valuable to me because I already have deep knowledge in chemistry and physics. To a student, or someone coming from another field, I think it would have much less value.

Confusing navigation, no bookmarks

Great app, but it doesnt do a very good job of keeping your place. When you leave out of the app and then come back in, it takes you back to home screen. Clicking on the right arrow button is supposed to take you the next element but it seems to skip some elements.

Nice app

Great app thanks!

Theo Gray is an enthusiasm engineer!

Beautiful, entertaining and educational.

Love it

This app is great. It has everything you could ever want to know about an element. I totally recommend it (for the iPad 2). It does cost $14 but I still love it. Ps For all of you who think it takes too long to download or is too expensive then I think you should know that this guy had to photograph/film all of the pics and such in here. So it must have taken a while. So no complaining. Pps It doesnt seem to crash for my iPad 2 with the latest iOS.

Read this message

I loved this is app because it was an interesting and informative periodic table that showed all the elements, examples, atomic structure and there is no point of this review I just want everyone to read this, how is you day? Good? Bad? Why? Well no I am not a narcissist.... Why would you say that?!

Cannot update app or download again

Tried to update app in iTunes… reports as corrupted and will not download. Deleted previous version (v2.0) and it still will not download... reports as a corrupted file. Note: Previous version (v2.0) of app shows a blank icon in iTunes library. The app seems to have updated correctly in both my iPhone 5S and iPad Air (direct wireless update, not thru iTunes).

Cool but….

Doing a 1.5GB download for unspecified minor bug fixes is a pain. Not that it matters that much because the app is too huge and bloated to carry around on my iPhone and iPad anyway even after paying $20 for both versions just before they were combined into one version for half the money. Bleah.

I absolutely love this app

This is a great way to learn and get familiar with elements. I love how the author includes little stories on most of the elements. The pictures are done very well, you can spin them and see all sides. Love this app!!
