The Catalytic Reaction Guide (CRG) is an app that informs users of appropriate catalysts for the corresponding reaction, it also has features that provide information on ligands and chiral alcohols. It is an app developed by Johnson Matthey for commercial purposes but still is very useful as a referencing tool as it allows users see what catalyst would suit their specific reaction conditions. I personally use this app to remind myself of catalysts and their applications, UI is great and simple allowing me to navigate with ease.
Application is well developed but needs updating as there are some dead links that can crash the app, despite this its main function is displayed well by showing chemical reactions pictographically to make it easier to identify the desired catalyst. Grade 0.8/1
