Description
View molecules in 3D, and manipulate them in real time.
Built-in database of 250+ common molecules in all fields of science and everyday use, with a short description of the molecule. Reads your own files (or those you download from the web) in popular 3D molecular file formats (PDB, MOL, SDF, XYZ and CML).
Molecules can be seen in ball-and-stick, spacefilling, and stick models. The software includes a screensaver showing randomly-selected rotating molecules…

Ratings and Reviews
See AllNot good for research or studying.
I do alot of genetic modeling and BMS. Version 1.5 of this program has an okay database of molecules, but thats really it. It doesn't allow you to create any molecule of your own, or edit the existing ones. The molecules do display a datasheet, but the information is from wikipedia. While that information does seem to be correct thus far, its something that could be improved. Its a great tool for comparing the physical structure of the 230 different types of molecules, but nothing more. It's not the best for research purposes and unless your studying routine involves staring at 3D pictues of molecules that may not be on an exam, I don't see much use for this program in an academic setting either. The graphics are very well done, the rotating molecules are smooth and zooming in and out is just as smooth or better. Overall, a decent program, but not worth more than $0.99 in my opinion.
Pros:
Decent database
Excellent graphics
Cons:
Cannot construct custom molecules or edit existing molecules

Misleading
This app advertises that it has 265 molecules "built in" to the database. In reality you can access only these (not really helpful) and the database is not customizable. I have not been able to get the program to display any other structures I have downloaded. Not worth the price for me and I doubt I will use it in my teaching.
Can
This app doesn't allow you to look up specific molecules! So good luck trying to use this for study if the molecule you want isn't on there! I wouldn't reccoment this app at all if you need it for an advanced science course.
