Reviews
Epic Fail!
Michelle Barbera
Simple calculations don't even work like plugging in numbers for Boyle's Law. Getting a refund!
This May Not Turn Lead Into Gold
GigaPan
But it may do everything else ... looks as if this will be an essential addition to a student's collection of tools to master chemistry.
Eventually useless

If you intend to use this tool as a practical assistant when solving chemical problems you may be disappointed that you cant use it at your exam! Unless you have internet there, that is. At least you should be aware that all utility of this app depends on connecting to wolframs servers.
Not a learning tool
jbaumb
This is app is not for helping you learn chemistry, so it won't really help if you don't already know how to approach the solution. It's more like a fancy chemistry calculator. As with math, a calculator does no good if you don't know how to set up the solution. Plus it requires a constant data connection which is a significant drawback.
What's the point?
Every nickname is taken, dumb!
Not what I thought it was going to be. It does not have quizzes or teach you how to do the problems, it just does them for you. Since I can't use my iPad during a test I found this to be waste of $5.
Limited use
Locusuda
This app really does not assist in any way. Chemistry is a pretty complex subject; there is little application for lewis dot structures or Chemical formulas. I wasted my money. This is surprising since the main Wolfram app is so useful.
Beware!
Unhappy Darth
Cannot get this app to work on either my iphone or my ipad. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling BOTH. There is no support that I can find for this app on their website. I wouldn't be as upset if they would only support their product.
