BEAKER by THIX

I can’t get AirMix to work and I’ve tried everything. I looked it up and said to allow it to use location but I can’t find the app in my settings at all. Other than that I love using it. However, I wish there were maybe more liquids to mix because I’ve tried putting a bunch of liquids together and hardly ever get a reaction. Also, it could be cool if there was a way that we could get solids to dissolve in liquids if they are able to be dissolved. It’s a great game and I spend a lot of time on it.

In my opinion, as someone that likes to experiment with colors and chemicals but doesn’t have unending resources because I do it on my own dime, this app is a winner. It is free and who knows for how long. The app also is very genuine and creative which reminds me of the good old iPod Touch days when apps were being released left and right that made the touch sensitivity and accelerometer such fascinating capabilities. I hope to see more updates. Right now I’m too content with the app to suggest anything other than future bug fixes. Great job to the developer! Shouts out to all the chemistry geeks and nerds

TL;DR: horribly amateurish, I don’t know why this was even featured on the App Store front page. The idea of an app like this is interesting (which is why I downloaded it), but * UI is buggy. ** Occasionally the circle on the top right corner disappears, & I won’t be able to add anything unless I empty out the beaker. ** The monitor thing is buggy. Enough said. * Bad physics. ** When lid is closed & beaker is turned upside down, liquid doesn’t come out (as expected), but somehow solids could slip through the cracks and leave the beaker. ** Solids sometimes change size for no reason. (To reproduce: add as much cesium as possible.) * Bad chemistry (despite correctly representing *some* reactions). This is the worst part that makes it impossible to enjoy the game. ** CsOH and sulfuric acid coexists in solution without forming CsSO4 and water. Ridiculous. General lack of acid-base reactions. ** Tried doing a thermite reaction, but all the aluminum burned out and nothing happened to the ferrite at all. (I’d expect a little of that to react even if they aren’t finely ground powder) ** Nothing happens to aluminum in concentrated KOH solution. ** Nothing is left when aluminum, magnesium etc burns. And so on. What is the point of this?

Everything is great but 2 things, one me and my sister tried to use airmix and it didn’t work. Airmix wouldn’t automatically connect like the app description for it said it would. Another thing is that there are so many in app purchases that aren’t really fair because I want to use all the tools in the shelf but half of it needs to be bought. Other than that the liquid chemicals are on the deprived side, meaning that there’s not much. But the app itself is ok, otherwise I would have more complaints.

So I was looking for the solids in the chemical list but they were ONLY liquids in the list, like acetic acid or hydrogen chloride. And there appears to only be 18 chemicals (6 being colors) in multiple varieties in amounts (I think) and also I sat for a full 2-5 minutes waiting for AirMix to connect but it never did. Oh yeah, it would also be cool if you could select single elements like potassium or hydrogen and radium to see how they react to each other. That’d be cool. Pretty good game/app.
