Based on 20 real App Store reviews, here's exactly what users wish Chemistry apps would build.
Features users are literally asking for in their reviews, ranked by demand.
"Should have a feedback mechanism so it learns if the output is correct."
"You can't even type anything in, has to be photos no matter what."
"overall its pretty good other then explaining work and visuals"
"It cannot do significant figures and most calculations weren't correct."
"Not helpful at all for organic chemistry, responses were always incorrect."
"I gave it 5 orgo problems problems to solve and it only got 1 right."
Prioritized actions based on user demand and market opportunity.
65% of complaints are about wrong answers. Implement domain-specific checks for significant figures, organic chemistry mechanisms, and physical chemistry calculations. Add confidence scores and verification steps.
Users hate deceptive 'free' marketing. Offer genuinely useful free tier (5-10 questions/day) with clear upgrade path. Never force subscription walls on first launch.
Photo-only input is a major limitation. Add text input and specialized equation/structure editors for chemistry notation. Improves accuracy and user control.
Build trust by allowing users to flag wrong answers. Use this data to improve the model and show which answers are verified vs. experimental.
Multiple reviews show orgo is poorly served. Focus on reaction mechanisms, arrow-pushing, stereochemistry with rich visual step-by-step explanations. This is a learnable, high-value niche.
