Periodic Table 1.2.0.4
There are a couple of Windows Phone applications that meet these requirements and Periodic Table is one of them. This utility comes with some extra features that can be put to good use in the chemistry class at school or when studying at home.
Informative and adaptable GUI
A nice looking interface, with a pleasant color scheme for highlighting the multitude of element categories greets you from the first time you open it. Moving around the various areas of app has a relatively fluent feel to it, but zooming in and out you will notice some glitches.
The commands and controls are all at hand, accessible from the main menu that is hosted in the lower side of the screen when in portrait mode or in the right side while the app is viewed in landscape screen orientation.
The cool and illustrative graphics are carefully drawn, while the numerous details for every element from the table appear in a clear and easy to read manner inside Periodic Table.
Explore the elements in several ways
Besides the usual, Medeleeev table form in which the chemical elements are normally shown, this utility offers some extra views that are more seldom seen and used.
More precisely, you can check out the alternate representation devised by Mohd Abubakr or the two-dimensional spiral version of Theodor Benfey, both accessible with one tap from the main menu.
In case you want to explore the elements as a vertical list, this is also possible with Periodic Table and while in this mode you have a search engine at hand to quickly get to the elements you are looking for.
Detailed info at a glance about each element
When selecting any item from the chart or list of chemical elements you will immediately bring up a bit of information that includes the atomic mass, electronegativity and also the hazard levels that are a particularity of this application.
There is an even more detailed view that requires you to open the element's separate listing to view a whole lot more attributes that can be very useful when solving chemical equations or simply learning everything there is to know about every element.

Function10

Security7
The utility is a bit curious about the phone and owner identity and it also requires access to the phone dialer and photos library for some reason. |
Battery5
The high power usage recorded while the application is running means that the battery consumption is substantial. |

Free to use by anyone and without any trace of nuisance inside, Periodic Table has an excellent value overall. |

Ready to function well on most Windows Phone handsets out there, the app can be used on any handset with version 8 or higher of the OS. |
