Mechanisms: Organic Chemistry is an app by Alchemie, focussed on teaching undergraduate students basic mechanisms in an enjoyable way.
Goal:
Mechanisms allows students to learn basic arrow-pushing mechanisms in organic chemistry. No prior knowledge is necessary as it teaches you everything as you go along! The essentials, substitution + elimination reactions, oxygen functional groups and pi systems are covered.
Experience:
We love this app! We found it to be a very fun way to learn the basics since you're not only taught which mechanisms work and why, but the user is also stimulated to figure out mechanisms on their own. Each mechanism has one or more goals, with explanations on each step. This allows the user to understand, in depth, why each mechanism step works. The app is also very easy to understand.
Graphics:
Mechanisms: Organic Chemistry is a very visually appealing app, with smooth movements and colourful figures.
Price:
Mechanisms is free to download, with additional services to be bought in-app. Unfortunately, only the essential mechanisms are free of charge. The user quickly runs into a pay barrier, costing 9.99 to unlock all other features/levels. Although this is only a one off payment, it is a bit steep for an educational app.

Rating:
