Educational App: Periodic Table of Elements on Nokia 5800
Who says there are no educational apps on the symbian fifth edition platform? Our friends at Offscreen Technologies have just released a touch version of every high school student’s best friend, the “Periodic Table” with their Elements 1.0.
Elements 1.0 is one of the latest additions to the Ovi store of Nokia and can be downloaded for free from the ovi webstore or the ovi client on your 5800s. Lets see how the “bible” of chemists fares on our Tube 5800s.
Elements 1.0 is a no frills, fully functional periodic table, the kind of which, I wish I had when I was in high school. As with most of the apps from Offscr Technologies, the app has just one but fully functional homescreen.
All the elements are neatly arranged in their different periodic table groups and colour coded to make the differentiation easier. Just a tap on an element is all that is needed to reveal further physical characteristics of the element.
What we like?
- Finger Touch Optimized interface
- Easy-to-use
What we hate?
- Nothing as such, but some advanced users may like to see embedded links to wiki or other more reliable sources for more info on the elements.
Verdict
We hate to call ourselves geeks but gosh we simply love this geeky app. We just can’t stop wondering why it took so long for someone to think about such a useful app. Job well done, Offscr Technologies! With this app, not only is our 5800 an able communicator cum entertainment medium but also a powerful educational tool. If you are a student, this is one more reason to coax your dad/mum to buy you a 5800 : )
