Singularly unimpressed
Staggeringly large at 1.7 GB. Seems unnecessary even for fairly nice 3-D pics.
The navigation is awkward. There is no ability to swipe to move between elements. You have to press a small arrow at the bottom. The home button is way too small on every page. While the home page looks nice its tough to read the names and numbers of the elements.
Drop the price by 75%, drop the spinning photographs, drop the size by 80%, and then its worth four stars, maybe five. But only then.
Nice integration with WolframAlpha, but this only means that you have to be connected on WiFi or 3G to get that information. Ironic, given the size of this application.
All of the information is crammed on to less than one third of the screen so that there can be a spinning model of the element. Granted, the spinning models look nice, but that loses its shine when you struggle to get the more detailed information.
Hugely disappointed. This was one of the first apps I wanted to get for the iPad.
If I could, I would return this app and then repurchase it when it improves, which I suspect it will.
