Review summary

Users appreciate WebMO for its quick and accessible molecular modeling capabilities, clean UI, and useful features for learning symmetry and performing electron density calculations. However, multiple reviews highlight issues with molecular geometry accuracy, limited computational engine choices, app crashes on complex calculations, and usability concerns like frequent settings resets and poor handling of input errors. Overall, the app is valued but requires improvements in accuracy, stability, and user experience.

Pros

Great for quick molecular modeling and visualization on mobile devices.
Intuitive and clean user interface making it simple to use.
Helpful for learning molecular symmetry and point groups.
Offers advanced features like electrostatic potential and electron density calculations in the premium version.
Useful for both novices and more experienced users in chemistry and molecular modeling.

Cons

Auto-geometry cleanup and molecular structure accuracy need improvement, as some molecular geometries are not depicted correctly.
Computational engine options are limited or restricted, with some users unable to choose different engines beyond Mopac.
App crashes or instability when performing complex calculations like vibrational analysis on larger molecules.
Settings reset frequently, causing inconvenience to users.
Input import functionality lacks helpful error correction or suggestions for misspelled molecular names.

2025-01-16	Ev*****	Great for on-the-fly molecular modeling if you need a level of theory to direct your imagination about a reaction scheme or more deeply understanding a structure, and also just plain cool to have a molecular modeler in your pocket. Definitely worth the premium upgrade to model larger molecules.

2024-01-21	Ad*****	Whole the UI is good, and the structure mechanics are okay, the auto-geometry cleanup does not accurately show the molecular geometry of even simple molecules. I attempted to draw a molecule know as mustard gas, or sulphur mustard, which is a toxic gas used in WW1, but the structure was not displayed accurately (Both Cl atoms are meant to occupy the same level/plane in the molecule, but that didn't happen). What I mean to say, is both sides of the molecule should be mirror images, not different.
