Description
Kekule allows you to quickly draw chemical structures, reactions, schemes, and mechanisms. Copy and paste selections directly into reports, posters, and presentations. Export a selection or the entire drawing as an image (.png) to embed in documents and webpages. Save drawings (.cdxml) for later editing and collaboration.
Includes tools for:
• Basic structure drawing (bonds, electrons, charges, etc.)
• Text and text formatting
• Basic shapes (lines, ovals, rectangles, arcs)
• Changing color, line thickness, and other attributes
• Moving, scaling, rotating, and erasing
• Aligning collections of objects

Ratings and Reviews
Works great for only $10, but could be better.
Biochem major here. I bought this app mainly because all of the other applications for molecule drawing is either a pay-per-month subscription model or a cheaply made app with drawings that look like a waste of time.
If you want an app that is accurate and is capable of normal use, this is a great option. I would argue that it takes some getting used to compared to other more backed alternatives like MolView or ChemDraw. But for a one-time purchase, it's the only alternative where the drawings look similar to a textbook.
The number one thing I would add would be an interractive PDF showing how to use the software, as there are some things that don't jump out at you right away, like how to change the screen resolution or how to change to a different atom other than carbon. The "help" section just states that no help is available.
