  • Unreal - so we’ll done.

    Extremely interesting and fun to mess around with. It also opens up for learning a bit more on electrical. Very happy with this!
  • Great APP

    This is a great app for designing and testing circuits ideas out before implementation. The programmable Arduino is a bonus that works well.
  • Pretty powerful simulator

    You can do quite a bit with this app, and it’s pretty easy to get into while still having a lot of advanced features.
  • A few changes would make this app perfect...

    Bought this app years ago and started using it again when some of my more “professional” spice programs failed to work with some of my circuit designs. I use Multisim, TINA, QUCS, LTSpice and every circuit and iCircuit handles my designs better than ALL of them! Obviously it doesn’t handle real components like some of the other programs, but for prototyping it holds it’s own with any of them (some of these programs are professional tools costing hundreds to thousands of dollars).

    There are things that could be improved...adding a trigger mode or two other than roll mode for a start would help. Also adding a frequency sweeping option to the sources would make better use of the frequency domain measurement mode.

    Update: what I’d to see added to iCircuit is a programmer’s interface to allow me to customize or create models for unsupported components, like varacters and specialized transistors...

  • An app that keeps me “amped”

    This is a very fun educational and actually quite an effective utilitarian tool. I am an electrician with two apprentices under my wing and like using this tool to draw out how our builds are supposed to work. The oscilloscope is a great learning resource. I even admit I like using it to experiment whether I can simplify one of my own circuit designs. I’m an electrician which means I’m a “take charge” kind of guy and were relied upon to design and build circuitry to a customers needs at an economical cost. I would love to see more AC applications such as three way, four way and double pole double throw switching along with single and three phase motor(until then I just build one representing the inducers and use ohms law to calculate amp draw and output). Circuit breaker representation, and LED drivers and fluorescent balasts would be a plus too. I really enjoy the app and only have minor problems involving bugs. Other than that it is an overall “shockingly” fun app that keeps me “amped” and the price didn’t “hertz” at all and can’t wait to see “watt” you have in store for the future.

  • Ne fonctionne plus

    Mettre beaucoup d’énergie pour préparer mes cours et faire des démos. Maintenant l’application se ferme, gelé ou tout disparaît 😩
  • Does not save

    I bought this app knowing it was good to use on a Mac.
    I bought it now for my iPad Pro 12.9 and it has a major major issue.
    Majority of the time it will not save your work.
    Hours of work will be not saved and you can imagine how frustrating this would be.
    Don’t purchase until they admit it’s an issue and release the fix.

  • Feedback (sorry about the pun)

    This is a nice app for simulating dynamic electronic circuits.
  • Not bad but ...

    I have been using this App for over a year and have found it to be a good app for quickly “chalkboarding” ideas with the simulation. That said, it does have some issues with moving already wired components around (when one needs to make room for a new component) wanting to make lots of new connections in all the wrong places. I just figured this would be cleaned up in a future release. Also adding/editing text boxes is a problem unless one only uses 3 or 4 words in the text box.

    My biggest concern with this App though is that it now appears to be “forgotten” and perhaps no longer supported as it has now been over two years since the last update. I can understand this if the app was free or did not have so many little bugs but this is a paid App. I hope the developers give it the loving attention that it’s paying users deserve.

  • Love it!

    This is a great app. Love it. The simulation is fantastic and you can build some complex circuits in no time and test out some ideas. I come from the digital world so I really value the analog part. Great for a hobbyist. I just took some circuit about building a heater controller and in 15 minutes, i could see everything real time. Just fantastic. It is missing very few components (diac and triac but you can make those easily with diodes and scrs in anti-parallel).

    Can’t say how much I love this app! I can start on my phone and go to the iPad Pro and back...

    Awesome job!!!
