For the money (free), there's only one periodic table app: Smell-O-Mints. ChemiKa just isn't even close, yet. Not even for free. Keep working on it...

Version 1.0

Good points: lots of info about the elements. Bad points: table is too big (at least for a 15" LCD), could include all the menu commands in the graphical interface, doen's look nice. I wish the dev could improve the ChemBuddy, that's Open Source but haven't been update for a long time, and misses some info that can be found in ChemiKa. Keep the nice work. :)

Version 3.0

This app is a nice addition to the collection of periodic table applications available as freeware at MU and elsewhere. Works as advertised. Furthermore it is practically open-source. The images used for the buttons in the interface are contained in a resources folder below the level of the app itself, and the app contains the data for the individual elements that show up in the utility window essentially in plain text. Those who are bashing this app for various reasons should take these data and try to write something better. While they're at it, they should thank Kyler Bush for his contribution to the software universe. So, thank you, Kyler.

thanks man, and thats essentially one of the things i wanted to do with this app. I've had several people email me their customized interfaces. Thanks again. kyler

Version 2.0

Yea, why say thanks when you can bash the guy, huh? Anyone remotely interested in programming can see what language this is written in within one second of opening the disk image. Don't parrot other people. Anyway, it does what it says, it's simple and informative. It's not slow. Thanks.

Version 2.0

not real basic. i dunno what kind of specs your machine is but i have run it on a 800 mhz g4 and a g5 and i don't have any speed issues. sorry if u don't like it guys. i'm a high schooler just learning. thanks anywayz mafia.

Version 2.0

A five megabyte download for a color-coded table of the elements? This stinks of RealBasic. Nothing in the website says this product does anything more than display the table. "Greatness redefinded", to quote the page header. No way, man.

Version 2.0

it still sucks. when resizing all the text goes into all the other text. the about box isn't complete.. its as slow as hell. there isn't even a quit menu item. do the next version right.

Version 2.0

Really cool! gives all the info on click. Coloring would be nice and Feature that shows what would happen if you mixed some of them , just for fun. (reaction result)

Version 1.0

nice icon, but the application has a Windows like UI, is really plain and the table isn't color coded.
