The Chemistry Keyboard is a specialized Keyboard Extension for anyone who needs to enter chemical formulae. Ever need to input Hg²⁺+2 I⁻ on your phone and can't figure out how to get those nice superscript or subscript 2s. Or proper arrow glyphs? Well, your wait is over. Quickly generate superscripts: ⁰ ¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ ⁷ ⁸ ⁹ ⁽ ⁾ ⁺ ⁻, subscripts: ₀ ₁ ₂ ₃ ₄ ₅ ₆ ₇ ₈ ₉ ₍ ₎ ₊ ₋, and arrows. lowercase Greek characters available in landscape mode. and other chemistry related Unicode characters. The app itself demonstrates the keyboard's use by allowing text entry and looking up data from Wikipedia. Unlike many keyboard extensions, this keyboard does not require network access. It's entirely self contained.
Very Except …,
Why isn’t the symbol for Fluorine (F) either on the keyboard or in one of the two lists of elements below the keyboard?? I know fluorine is just one letter - but you have the others either on the keyboard or beneath it. The alphabetical list with the “F” elements has Fe and others - but alas no F.
Seamless
Once I installed the app and reset my phone (I read a previous review that said resetting could fix they keyboard not showing up in certain apps, and it works) this app works well and makes it easy to find each element while typing. I haven’t had any issues with the keyboard loading slowly like it does with other apps. Great deal!
Good app
This is a good app, well priced for what it is, I find it very helpful in conveying math and chemistry equations, however one suggestion I would have would be the addition of super/sub script signs such as →
Great :), some suggestions
Finally, a super helpful app for my typed chem notes! I do wish the upper scripts were a bigger font size, such as the negative signs. Otherwise, it’s not super noticeable on my notes even when I’m close. If I skimmed through it, I’d probably miss the negative superscript because it’s so tiny. This is from a Notability typing POV w/ Verdana font style and size 10 for notes. (My headings are size 13 and the negative upper scripts are still too small to be easily noticeable. Other than that, the keyboard fits the screen and was very easy to figure out. No regrets with my purchase. Please consider my suggestions!! Will fantastically help me :) Thank you!
Great app. Just make sure to restart phone
I primarily wanted this app to make superscript notes on my monster levels in Pokemon Go. However, the keyboard globe wasn’t initially pulling up Formula Keyboard - Chemistry Keys in Pokemon Go like it was in Messages/Mail/Notes etc. I’m not sure what solved my issue – whether it was deleting and re-downloading Pokémon go or restarting my phone in between, but works like a charm now! Also, Glenn is an extremely responsive and awesome developer. Know that if you ever run into any kind of problems he’ll be right there to help you through them!
Does what it says
extremely helpful in math and chem classes, especially if u want to make quizlets on your phone/ipad. Very easy to use subscripts ₁₂³⁴. U can add it to your keyboards to use in any app. Appreciate the app
Thank God (or Glenn)!
Nothing else has worked for superscript and subscript. To get symbols, I’ve had to add and toggle through many keyboards. It’s early days with this app, but I couldn’t be more pleased with it (once I figured out that holding down the key unlocks super and subscripts). I you are often typing science, this hugely helpful!
