Great way to [re]learn electronics
If I’d had this app when I took electronics in high school, I’d probably be an EE now instead of relearning what I only barely grasped back in the day.The Life of Bryan
Not really what I wanted from an app
Doesn’t have options that I wanted as a sparky and it drains a lot of battery. Not worth it imo.ConHKL

Good portable simulator but could do with some improvements
It's great to have a portable circuit simulator, and for the most part I like how icircuit does things.
But (there's always a but)
The oscilloscope's measurement cursors needs work. Normal cursors have vertical and horizontal axes locked together at a point which follows a trace. These are weird and I'm not even sure what the up and down slope symbols represent.
The gauge device seems to be DC but it doesn't read DC properly in the presence of AC. The incorrect measurement needs to be fixed and it'd be much better if it had options to measure DC and RMS separately. Even better if it also had a resistance measuring function. Then call it a multimeter.
The meter function seems to only measure RMS. Additional DC (average) values would be useful.Show less321Scatter
iCircuit App
This app is fantastic, but unfortunately falls short of what it could be, in my opinion. Many have requested, and continue to request, the inclusion of a vacuum tube module for this App. From my understanding, that request has been ongoing for the better part of almost a decade. Again, this is only one user’s opinion, but this will never be a well rounded App until at least this feature is included, and with the same professional approach applied to the existing App.Show lessRivendell Research
Fantastic tool
This is a great way to learn the theory and applications of electrical circuits without having to invest in hardware or breadboards. Thankstommontgomery450
Sounded fun, but it’s a nightmare.
I really wanted to play around with a simulation, but it fights you every step of the way. The settings are barebones, the interface, drawing and deleting fight you EVERY step of the way, you can’t rotate stuff and scaling things is only in one direction, for a barebones list of components they just direct you to the wiki instead of detailing the twenty or so in-app for QoL. This would be a fun $2-5 toy to play around making basic starter boards, but I’d be laughed out of an office if I handed the spaghetti mess that comes out of this to a professional. Eh, at least it was an entertaining thirty minutes for an extreme premium.
Oh yeah, and hats off to the inept technical genius who made it so pressing “undo” keeps undoing thirty minutes of stuff. This UI is a technical dumpster fire.
I’m going to RTFM and give it one last shot later, but that won’t fix the lack of intuitive and intelligent design.Show lessAppleKingOfTerribleUX
Poor quantity of components for price
It’s alright, a bit fiddly to use but very limited on the quantity of components especially for the priceNick8529
Beats expensive alternatives in many ways
I’ve gone through a number of simulators and this seems to hit the sweet spot between ease of use and the number of features. It’s nice to get an immediate response in the simulator to circuit changes. Keep developing this great app and continue to add more components!Lincolnparkdc
Fun to use, works well with Apple Pencil
This is way more fun than the simulators like spice than I learned on I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it works very well with Pencil on iPad, even being able to write in component values can't pla wait to play with the arduino sim. No varistor though?Wolftag
