Description
From Theodore Gray comes a beautifully produced app introducing and educating users on the elements of the periodic table and how they combine to form the world around us. The Elements is a rich and engaging love story, told in words and pictures - allowing you to experience the beauty and fascination of the building blocks of our universe in a way you've never seen before.
Start off on a living periodic table where every element is shown with a smoothly rotating sample. To read about gold, tap the gold nugget. Immediately you see the sample filling the screen, photographed to razor sharpness and rotating around a complete circle in front of your eyes. Enjoy the extensive array of facts and figures. Next find a fascinating story about the element, surrounded by carefully photographed objects representing it. Every one of these objects, well over 500 in total, is a freely rotatable, live object that you can examine from all sides and pinch zoom to see in unprecedented detail.
Touch the element name at the top of the page and you can see that element’s name in over a dozen different languages. Choose one and you’ll find that the entire book, stories, captions and all, switches to that language: The Elements includes both the full English original text and over a dozen full translations.
Pinch-zoom or tap any object to bring it up full screen, where you can split into a pair of stereo 3D images, allowing you to see all 500 objects pop off the screen in 3D, and you can spin the objects, in 3D, with the touch of a finger.
This book will show everyone there’s a lot more to the periodic table than a bunch of numbers and letters.
Features include:
• Beautifully composed pages for every Element in the periodic table
• Fun stories and fascinating facts
• All objects pinch-zoom with amazing detail and rotate in 3D
• Engaging introduction explaining the structure of the periodic table
• Engaging introduction explaining the structure of the periodic table
• Fully translated into English, Catalan, Croatian, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish

Ever pondered the atomic weight of Bismuth? Do you debate the density of Niobium over dinner? If so, this app is for you. Chemistry truly comes to life with this fully interactive version of the periodic table. Engage with the elements like never before and witness the wonders of science in beautiful detail.
So good I had to buy it twice!
As an early adopter I bought this app to show off the potential of my new iPad, the one without a camera. Storage was an issue as has been pointed out this isn’t a small app and used up a chunk of the limited storage so at some point I uninstalled it. This was before the current App Store when apps were controlled through iTunes.
Eventually I bought an iPhone but was unable to reinstall the app as any reference to my purchase has disappeared. I love the app. but having to pay twice was disappointing.
Really slick. Lovely attention to detail.
I love this app. Although it cost a pretty penny it was worth the money. Thanks indeed go to the author/maker for his amazing attention to detail. An example of which is that you can spin the sample pictures to view from all around. He could have left it at that but he went further to allow different spin rates and the detail that the spin rate gradually slows down.
The text is interesting and funny. My favourite app without a doubt. Looking forward to the next in the series.
