looking for a chemial formula app for android
« on: April 13, 2016, 08:50:39 AM »
Hi,

I'm looking for an app (for android) that will let me look up a compound name and get the formula, and to the degree that it's possible, also do the reverse.

If structural formulas are available, even better.

Free is good, and the fewer weird permissions the better.

Does anyone know one they can recommend?

Thanks!

This is hard for me to understand.  You'd like a app, that was a massive database, that was as good as or better than a Google search?  Do they make apps that big?   And why not just search Google?
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

There is a single website that does this (and more) for free: http://www.chemicalize.org/

I am not aware of a mobile app.
My research: Google Scholar and Researchgate
