Functional Groups in Chemistry – Trivia Game Review
Functional Groups in Chemistry is a Trivia/Reference/Word game from Andrey Solovyev, first launched in 21st April 2014.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 5+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Functional Groups in Chemistry Stand Out
The most important app for organic chemistry students includes 80 functional groups, the classes of organic compounds (aldehyde, ethers, esters, etc.) and natural products (nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, etc.).
Start from the basic groups (such as ketones and hydrocarbons) and proceed to the advanced topics (for example, azo compounds and boronic acids).
Choose the game mode and take a quiz:
1) Spelling quizzes (easy and hard) – answer all questions correctly to win a star.
2) Multiple-choice questions (with 4 or 6 answer options).
3) Time game (give as many answers as you can in 1 minute) – you should give more than 25 correct answers to get a star.
Two learning tools:
- Flashcards for memorizing these groups.
- Tables of functional groups.
The app is translated into 13 languages, including English, German, Spanish and many others. So you can learn the names of the functional groups in any of them.
Prepare for the exam in organic chemistry!
This Trivia game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Was having trouble with our functional groups from O chem, and needed a refresher for biochem and this app was great.
We used this app for learning functional groups for a chem exam and it definitely helped. The app tested us on more groups than we technically needed to know so a setting that allowed the user to select groups to be tested on would be nice. Overall clean app, great practice, and totally worth the price. Also you can turn off ads for free.
We didnt even bother using this app, the moment we opened it here comes the adds and this after paying for it. Forget it, the greed of this app will its death.
No way to learn or refresh without just flipping through them and marking wrong. Descrtion claims learn easy first and move on, not true.
But better for brushing up. Could use more features but really great as is.
It's a little annoying that while you pay for the app there are still ads running. And then there are links to other apps they have made which look like additional help. Kind of deceitful. However, the material is decent and the games help.
You pay for an app that still has ads.
