No longer works with Yosemite
This app is great except that it stopped working on all computers that I have upgraded to Yosemite. I filed a support request with the developer weeks ago but have not received any response at all.
The Elements should be marked for sale for 10.7-10.9 and not compatible with 10.10.
# Update #
On my older 2011 13” MacBook Pro hardware the app runs with no issues in Yosemite.
I have also discovered a workaround on the MacBook Air and retina MacBook Pro to make it functional.
- Launch The Elements.app and get a black screen
- Use the Elements menu to select an element.
- The element will render and you can get back to the periodic table home screen by clicking the home button.
Once you load the first element via the menus, the app works normally. It seems pretty clear that there is something minor going wrong here. If Touch Press would issue a patch to fix the issue on new Macs then the app is definitely 5 stars for the conten. If it doesn’t work correctly on your hardware it will make you sad unless and until you figure out the incantation to workaround the intial view loading as a black screen.
