Alchemists: Lab Equipment for Android
Absolutely fantastic game even if it makes you think a little bit more than you're used to. The only problem I had is using the paper to track what each ingredient is. Would be a lot more intuitive if I had an ingredient tracker in the app itself to help manage the combinations easier.
(Fix needed) Works fine but the camera is super dark on my phone (BLU One Life X2). The camera is dark only with this application, it's fine when I take photos. The detection works only if I play in a super light environment.
Put the switch Hands/Camera to the screen, where components are mixed. To go each time to the configuration screen… Hmmmm, it's not usability :(
Overall the app is finr but for some reason the "debunk theory" option isnt working as shown in the game and the ios app
Is there camera options? I can't scan cards, my camera is too dark!
My camera is to dark no camera option. Asus 3max
You can not play at all
Awesome app! Exactly as I expected. Extremely user friendly and self-explanatory. Recognizes cards very quickly and remembers your game if you accidentally exit the app or shut off your device. It's a shame that there are so many poor reviews by people who don't understand how to use the app.
Works perfectly even in low light with a blurry image (due to camera movement) as long as all three points on each card are visible. Understandably, sun glare and light glare on card sleeves do give the camera some trouble.
I'm not very fond of board game assistance apps, but Lab Equipment looks great. Alchemists is a really good board game and I wouldn't mind dedicating an older phone to the box.
Great app! Works well with the game. Can't believe there's 306 people that 1 starred it due to their own lack of understanding......
You know what would be a good feature? A tutorial! OMG! One star all around for this garbage...
I feel like the one star people don't realize this is tool to play a board game and not a stand alone game. It's accompanies the board game of the same name "the alchemist"
Great game app! Tho, it's quite dependent on camera quality and lighting. Works great with the camera on my oneplus 2, but it doesn't recognize anything with my tablet.
It helped me a lot when I play the board game. Very useful
You have 2 buy the board game 2 be able 2 play this..graphics are good but I don't wanna lug around a board game
Great app that works perfectly with the boardgame. Quick and simple. Not a standalone game - works with the boardgame of the same name. So much fun!
Awesome app which works perfectly with the game.
I will change the rating if you add a tutorial.
How do you play,there is no totaurial????
I like how the info button takes ypu to the website for step by step tutorial game play
Works perfectly! It was upside down on my Nexus 5X but I changed camera rotation 180 degrees in setting and all is well!
This app supplements the game SO WELL and works magically too! Props to the developers of both the app and the board game!
The scanner does not work well when the environment is dim. It would be better if the app could have a setting to turn on the flash light during scanning.
Even though we were playing on a slow phone with a bad camera, it worked amazingly fast.
How does this game even work
Works fine on a phone, not so great on a tablet or in low light.
Okay, I don't understand...
Works perfectly! It was upside down on my Nexus 5X but I changed camera rotation 180 degrees in setting and all is well!
I have both an android device and iOS device. App works perfectly on iOS, however does not scan a single card in same lighting conditions, same card position for Nexus 5x android 7.0. Only manual card entry works.
Board Game is great, but the scanning does not work on my LG G3
The game is awesome and the application is a great idea. However, on Nexus 5x the camera sees the cards upside down (only this app has this problem, I have installed fine working camera and QR scanner applications) and also the application crashes a lot. Actually we haven't played a game without a single crash. Hopefully, the application remembers the game code between launches so nothing gets lost.
This app supplements the game SO WELL and works magically too! Props to the developers of both the app and the board game!
It sucks can't play
What do you do I don't know
It would be better if the app could be used in landscape mode for docked tablets.
It only took like 3 seconds for mine to download
Makes the game way smoother to play
What do I do???????

great app that is crucial for gameplay but wish there was an option to select the ingredients being mixed versus relying only on camera since it didn't always work or was hard to get the app to recognize the cards EDIT: Didn't think to check the settings! I didn't realize I didn't have to use the camera to select the ingredients. Changing my rating from 4 stars to 5.
