User Reviews

  • Excellent molecular editor for those who need to draw simple molecules. Despite its limited resorces, the program is extremely lightweight (Java 485 Kbytes) and doesn't require installation. It doesn't require any other associated files or folders where the program is archived either. The program's advantages and disadvantages are all related to its simplicity: lightweight, no installation process and no need of other files/folders. On the other hand, it doesn't provide the possibility to draw complex reaction mechanisms, animated molecular movies and such sophisticated effects. Those who need these features are supposed to look for other software because of its limitations in this regard.
  • One of the best around.
  • I didn't find how to draw a reaction arrow.
  • Very nice app, do what we need it to do, all in small size. I'm using a mac, and so far the .jar file works fine. Well built!

  • Hi Professor Clark excellent software. I am preparing a translation into Portuguese and I pointed the program to my students. Send your mail to edilsonsfx@gmail.com.
