I am a professor and teach genetics. I think the app can be useful for students to understand the principles of translation. One thing is that the names in the different boxes are a little confusing. I think it is possible to improve that writing something like. Maybe these are not prefect since English is not my native language, but is to have an idea: Coding DNA Noncoding DNA 3'-5' Transfer RNA anticodons 3'-5' Messenger RNA (codons) Amino acid chain will be built here

I like the app, but I believe you are using the trna code instead of the mrna code to find the corresponding amino acid.

Great, but sadly I'm not a high school student anymore

First of all, the app has an error in showing antiscience sequence not in 5'->3' order, or at least not mentioning the order at all. Then the app truncates sequences to the length divisible by three, as if UTRs are an unheard concept for the developer, good grief. All nucleotides in mRNA are not necessary divisible by 3 and containing just coding sequences, so it is a huge error to think like that. Next, what the heck does the tRNA stand for? The anticodon on anticodon loop on tRNA? But it is just a part of tRNA sequence and should not be labeled as "tRNA". And lastly, I honestly don't get the purpose of this app. As an educational app for school use it lacks explanations, as an app for lab use it lacks a ton of features. And you usually don't have to work with nucleotide sequences in your phone. It is difficult to take sequences from gene libraries etc. and paste them in an android app. And there are a lot of tools, e.g. at protocol-online dot org, that are better, more varied and have more explanations that can be used for educational purposes. So go there, if you need help. Good thing I saw this app on sale and downloaded it for free to try. Do not waste money on this
