The Elements by Theodore Gray App Reviews

Buy "elements in action". Cheaper and better.

the end of the wolfram alpha content is sometimes cut in the middle of a sentence (carbon and nitrogen for instance, when reading in French and on iPhone 6). I switched the app to English, its still a little bit cut at times, but readable. When making paid apps, you should make sure that the main functionalities are working flawlessly.

Doesnt feel like an essential (lol) app anymore. Theres nothing that cannot be found in his Elements In Action and a good reference app like EleMints or Wolfram-Alpha proper. Missing mass spectroscopy lines and other pertinent info that is included on the flashcards (paper, not app) & book. Kinda clunky in its display, though it loads smoothly. Ok app in the $3-5 range, not more. Not sure how much it took to produce this, so I do not want to discredit the designers & author; I do enjoy the paper flashcards & book. But I wont mince words: I dont remember there being info cribbed from Wolfram-Alpha in the physical copies or this app in 2010; even if it makes it easier to keep entries up to date, I would have liked to have seen the original info; or entries comparable to other periodic apps. Seemed the book was less minimalist. Its cool to see actual examples, but I wanted more.

Couldn’t be happier with this app. Get the entire collection, as they’re all linked together and are incredibly informative & fun to explore. Best money I’ve ever spent on the app store.

But I have to note some serious issues on turkish translation, most instances are pretty obvious on carbon but they are everywhere.

Like title says presentation is visually awesome but not much else. There are free apps that give you more info on chemistry/peri table, and the information it does have is basic (at best) HS chem. Not worth the money.

So you bought your shiny new iOS device with all that extra storage? Excellent decision! Because this is a classic example of what kind of app belongs on your iPhone or iPad. You and your family will enjoy using this, and appreciate the thought and care that went into those animations. (I also own the gorgeous print edition of this book, the app just gets more reading time and general use) It is informative and fun to read and even little ones will like spinning crystals and other elemental objects while you explain their significance. Little Scientists need to start somewhere! The fact that I can carry these (I also own the companion apps -theyre different but so worth it) all on my phone and get them on my iPad too at no extra charge (same account) is truly amazing.

Amazing app. No further explanation needed.

Outstanding learning experience. I love the 3D images and practical knowledge this app uses to teach the elements.

If you like chemistry, or know nothing about chemistry, this is for you. This app is like a book, with descriptions, applications, and richly detailed photographs of every element. This app contains marvelous data, but the written portion is not technical, and an introduction is also found in the book. It is essential to learn about the universe around you. And this is the app for that. I recommend this on an iPad.

Good Application, but needs to Arabic language and to support the Middle East this good and important information

It brings the periodic table to life. If youre taking chemistry, or just love science, this is a wonderful app. But it is a big app, so dont get it if you only have the 16 GB iPad.

About half of the element descriptions are cut off in mid sentence on my iPhone 6 Plus [iOS 8.4.1 thru 9.2]. Problem was reported on 9/17/15 and has not been fixed as of 12/15/15. Totally unresponsive customer support. Will revise rating if and when problem is fixed.

Such an interesting way to kill time on my phone. Id much rather do this than play a game. Thanks for making such an interesting way to explore the table.

I love it It is the perfect mix of science, entertainment, and Tom Leher.

Superb organization of the facts and I enjoy the humor. However, the percentages of the elements in the ocean show impossibly high numbers; X times 10 to a huge power.

The actual scientific information like electron configuration, melting points etc is crammed into a slim window of small text to the right. The rest of the screen is used for wasting half a gigabyte of your devices storage to present useless graphics of what the element looks like to the naked eye.
