User Reviews

Reviews consistently praise The Elements for authoritative, engaging content and stunning visuals, including 3D models and multilingual features. It is valued as an educational tool for students and educators and appreciated for cross‑platform availability. However, users repeatedly note drawbacks: a cluttered main table and small readouts, a very large storage footprint and high price, incomplete element coverage, and occasional bugs or data issues after updates. Overall, the app is beloved for its depth and presentation but tempered by usability, cost, and maintenance concerns.

Pros

Authoritative, concise, and beautifully presented element information.
Stunning graphics and moving 3D models enhance the learning experience.
Multilingual support and included element songs broaden accessibility.
Broad educational appeal, engaging for students and curious non-scientists alike.
Cross-platform availability and long-term support (Mac and iPad).

Cons

Main periodic table is cluttered and hard to read; small element numbers and thumbnails reduce readability.
Huge storage footprint (high‑resolution images) and perceived high price.
Not all 118 elements are included in the app (only about 103 are viewable).
Occasional bugs and update issues, including data inaccuracies and 3D/compatibility glitches.
Outdated skeuomorphic UI design; calls for a more modern interface.

Recent reviews

The information under each element is very good and presented in a very interesting way. However the main periodic table is too busy and hard to read. The tiny thumbnail pics are pretty useless at that scale and the element numbers are very difficult to see. Would be better if the main table was more traditional while keeping the rest of the detailed info on the first drill down menu.

I didn't care for Chemistry when I was in high school and later at M.I.T. untill I ran into this app. It is the best introduction to the elements and I put it on my educational website of best educational apps for the iPad and smart phones and tablets. Runs on my Mac too.
