Nanome offers a unique VR experience that allows users to explore and build molecular models, making it an engaging educational tool for chemistry enthusiasts.
The software has a multiplayer mode, enabling collaboration and interaction with friends, which enhances the overall gameplay experience.
It is free to play and provides a good starting point for casual users interested in chemistry, with potential for more advanced features in future updates.

The app suffers from technical issues, including login problems, lack of VR launch, and unresponsive controls, which can hinder the user experience.
Many users feel that the software is simplistic and lacks essential features, such as sound effects, advanced modeling tools, and a comprehensive periodic table.
The business model, requiring subscriptions for full access, has disappointed some users who expected a more straightforward pricing structure.
