User Reviews

  • I have seen my friend creating very nice science diagram using Avogadro, but when I tried to install it on my laptop, a message displaying MSVCR100.dll is missing appered and I couldnt use it. My laptop is 64Bit

  • Literally created a Sourceforge account just to give 5 stars. Really easy to use and has good control over building and viewing features. The SolidWorks of molecules.
  • Thank you very much for the free open source program!
  • very convenience for research
  • It is very nice app being considered as a chemistry and biochemistry visualization tool. This program has a lot of features typically found in the professional tools. It may lead to mis-positioning this app as a professional. This is the only disadvantage as of my opinion. Consider this program an amateur, and you find it is excellent.
