I teach math, physics, and astronomy, so chemistry comes in to my instruction only tangentially. I found this program to be ultrabasic, but informative in what it conveys. It appears to be current with the named elements, going out to #112 Copernicum. Color is well used here with good contrast between the columns. The timeline feature and the state of matter feature were items I'd not seen before. You can set any year and the periodic table reverts to a listing of what elements were known in that year. The search function simply locates the element in the table. Aside from these features, which are interesting, the program doesn't provide any information on element properties, electron configurations, etc. I'd give this 3 stars just because of the absence of lots of useful information. I hope to see this program grow with time.
