Powerful molecular viewer for android platform.

Features & Capabilities

iMolview Lite is a robust Android application designed for exploring biological macromolecules in stunning 3D detail. Access protein and DNA structures directly from the Protein Data Bank, visualize drug molecules from DrugBank, and explore small molecules using Pubchem data. Users can search by drug names, protein names, or PDB codes to instantly view complex molecular structures.

Customize molecular representations with various styles such as wires, balls-and-sticks, space filling, ribbon diagrams, and molecular surfaces. Color individual residues, atoms, or chains for enhanced visualization. The app supports syncing and viewing your own molecular structure files via the iMolview folder on your SD card. With features like infinite spinning via adjustable inertia, iMolview Lite offers both powerful and interactive molecular exploration tailored for Android platforms. For technical support, users can contact support@molsoft.com. Note that there is a known compatibility issue with certain older HTC phones, which will be addressed in future updates.

User Reviews

iMolview Lite is praised for being a free, ad-free app with decent UI for molecular visualization, especially useful for biochemists and students. Users appreciate its speed and educational value. However, multiple users report lagging, UI scaling and text overlap issues, and difficulties with precise selection on touchscreens. Rendering glitches also affect user experience, and requests for additional molecular geometry support are common. Overall, it's a valuable app with areas for improvement.

Pros

Free and without ads, which is highly appreciated by users.
Decent and useful UI for chemical and biochemical visualization, allowing for 3D structure viewing and demonstration.
Fast and capable performance compared to some PC software, with useful features for playing with molecular structures.
Handy tool for biochemists, students, and chemistry enthusiasts, supporting educational purposes.
Good for viewing and studying biological and chemical databases with useful features.

Cons

App experiences lagging and performance issues reported in multiple reviews.
User interface scaling issues and text overlapping leading to a less smooth user experience.
Difficulties with selecting amino acid residues, chains, or small molecules on touchscreen due to UI or resolution issues.
Rendering glitches such as image cropping, grey fog, and improper display after multiple rotations and zooms.
Limited features like missing support for certain molecular geometries (e.g., trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral) requested by users.

Recent reviews

well its free and as far as i know there are no ads which automatically makes it 5 stars and also it has decent ui ui does need some improvements but its definitely worth installing
