Mechanisms: Organic Chemistry

WELL WORTH THE PRICE FOR FULL VERSION. I took organic chemistry 1 and 2 from a nationally recognized and feared professor in the US, and passed top of the class. I give a good amount of credit to this app in all honesty. The mechanics of the reactions are so perfectly designed to get the user to see how and why things happen in reactions. For example, the app forces you to show resonance stability in certain situations where it’s helpful to understand that the reaction ONLY occurs because of the resonance stability. I recommend turning off the hints/goals option once you get the hang of things to really test your intuitive orgo skills. If you put in the work and invest yourself fully into organic chemistry, this app will absolutely help you understand and visualize reactions better. I also recommend going back to reactions you’ve passed in this app and predicting products on paper before doing it on the app if you’re using it to study. I love how the app is broken into sections like pi systems and carboxylic acid reactions. These are common sections that lecture based courses are often broken into as well. 10/10 love this app and I love organic chemistry more because of it!!!

One of the best organic chemistry apps -maybe the best- and the look is so nice which is why I bought the full version, but now I have not received any updates that increased the content, lessons, or features. Where are the promised updates that was included as a perk for buying the app? I'll change my rating is I get new levels like the feature list mentioned as an added value for the paid version.

This app is incredible. Almost all of the students that I tutor have trouble understanding mechanisms and instead of trying to learn them, they try and rely on raw memorization. Although it’s technically “possible” to memorize every reaction in Ochem, it’ll be 10X the amount of work and be 10X less useful then just learning how electrons flow. And fortunately, this app teaches you just that. Those who use this app will be able to see and more importantly “feel” how reactions work. The more puzzles in this app that you complete, the more intuitive organic chemistry starts to become. I would 100% recommend this app. It’ll cut hours out of your study sessions and you won’t have to second guess if the arrows you are drawing are correct. It has helped me and all of the students I’ve talked to who have it get through Ochem 1 and 2. Give it a shot!
