### 5/5 — Fun and easy to use

*2021-01-23, version 1.1.0*

Great for learning about digital circuits

### 4/5 — Great but can’t remove wires?

*2020-06-03*

I can’t figure out any way to remove a wire once it is connected, other than closing the problem and restarting from scratch. Am I missing something?

### 5/5 — Absolutely superb...

*2020-04-12, version 1.1.0*

This is not a game - it's a thoughtful and well presented delve into the innards of a computer.  OK, it's a very simple computer but figuring out how all the gates work was tough but very rewarding.

If you want to test your understanding of logic and the fundamentals of computer hardware, this is essential.  Well done to the author.  First rate.

### 5/5 — Really, really helpful.

*2020-03-06*

Love this. Great app and an elegant way to play around and practice. This has been my doorway into understanding logic gates. I can’t think of a better, simpler way to do it.

I see suggestions of more complex components in other reviews from people smarter than I (ie the first review that comes up). A very, very simple thing in playgrounds would be a label component - just a sign that would let me label a given circuit so I can remember it.

I understand that the creator is just offering this up for free, which is 🤯. But I would be glad to pay money for a tool like this. The irony is that some people are probably undervaluing it because it’s free. Why not add in a few more of these advanced components that people are asking for and then monetize it? You’ve put work into this and it’s awesome. You deserve a little return on your time and brain cells!

### 5/5 — Problem..

*2020-02-21*

I have one question. Where do I find solutions? As I am stuck on the Exclusive Or I cannot find a single solution anywhere. My name is Sean Plesa .sorry if it was misspelled .

### 5/5 — Challenging in a good way

*2020-02-19*

I don’t know anything about circuitry and in the later problems it took me a long time trying to understand the question. I really enjoyed the challenge. Great app,

### 4/5 — Almost

*2019-08-07*

I love the game concept for working out solutions! Greta idea. Having that and the playground for tinkering is brilliant.

I’ll update my review to 5 stars once the drag-n-drop is fixed.

The drag-n-drop recognition/method is frustrating. The touch hit boxes are flaky. To touch the middle of the gate and not have it start to move is annoying. It’s only reliable when there are no wires connected to the two inputs. I often find myself accidentally dragging a wire from the output of a gate to one of its own inputs when I was trying to just move the gate somewhere else.

Like I said, fix the moving of gates and this app is amazeballs!

### 5/5 — A great app for fun and to learn!

*2019-07-09, version 1.1.0*

A fantastic app, and it is completely free!

A great way to learn about circuitry, and to better understand how every single digital device we rely on works fundamentally. 

One opportunity, for additional help when the levels begin to get more complex.

### 5/5 — Reminds me of my digital logic class in college

*2019-05-30*

I would have liked to have this program to practice with back when I took digital logic in college

### 5/5 — 5 star app

*2019-05-26, version 1.1.0*

Really amazing app to learn electronics

### 1/5 — Problem  7 has no solution.

*2023-02-05, version 1.1.0*

This program looked promising, but it failed when I got to problem #7 a valid solution that reflected the answer truth table would not proceed. Obviously there is some paywall or limitation, but no indication of how or what to do to proceed. Disappointing. Don’t bother. Will delete and look for something else. Had potential to be a really useful tool for designing address decoding schemes, but no good.

### 2/5 — has potential but...

*2019-08-02, version 1.1.0*

the interface is practically broken...very hard to drag and break connections....takes 20 tries to get it right, you have to bempixel perfect eith your button... very frustrating.. also, the solutions to the puzzles clear once you solve... it should save the solution..besides that, its a good learning/review app for boolean algebra, but giving 2 stars due to the broken interface which makes the game too frustrating to use.. im using an ipad.

### 4/5 — Really good overall

*2026-04-20*

Very good but I wish it could help me and explain more so Im not stuck on one thing for like an hour

### 4/5 — great logic game

*2026-01-23, version 1.1.0*

nice game to learn about logic gates and its free, whats not to like about it.

### 4/5 — Good to learn but not fun to use

*2024-09-18*

It’s annoying connecting wires to each section. That’s it

### 4/5 — I like it

*2024-08-10, version 1.1.0*

Why on earth does the 4-bit register have too many outputs!?!?!? That is very weird. Why that? Also if anyone’s wondering how to adjust clock speed use toggle latches. And the rest you have to figure out on your own if you want to slow it down even further. (yeah ik how but im quizzing u cuz why not) Also please make it possible to put text on the buttons and LEDs.

### 4/5 — Wires get stuck

*2022-10-17, version 1.1.0*

Sometimes it can be near impossible to detach wires, especially if a gate gets connected to itself

### 4/5 — I like it but…

*2022-07-05, version 1.1.0*

Problem #5 if I remember it has mistake. Gate NAND if you need two 0 on two inputs to the gate to have signal 1 on output and you take it from this output and connect to one of the inputs u not going to have two 0 signals to get opposite 1 signal at the output. Correct if I am wrong.
P.K.

### 4/5 — Only needs a little mod and I will love it

*2022-05-25, version 1.1.0*

Great game but you should add a multiplexer and demultiplexer

### 4/5 — Almost the best app of its kind for iOS

*2021-04-05*

Great potential as a logic design / testing app. I’m currently taking a discrete math course and found the “playground mode” very helpful for visualizing combinational circuits.

My two main complaints: 
1) Controls are a little clunky when it comes to moving things around and attaching wires. Even with an Apple Pencil the precision is not predictable
2) Would be nice if it kept track of your previous solutions so you could see what you submitted for a problem

Other stuff that would be nice to have:
1) Don’t gate playground mode components behind problem progress
2) Discrete math notation for created circuits
3) Simplification and maybe scoring in problem mode based on simplicity. (Found some problems where I didn’t need all the gates I was given)

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-07-17*

I can do whatever I want for free and there’s levels that teach you in a fun way

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for.

*2025-11-05*

I was looking for a logic simulator like logism evo, but for my IPad, and this fits that exactly!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-09-07*

This is a fabulous “game” but the playground is incredibly fun and helpful. The only TINY LITTLE gripe is that it can be a bit challenging to move components with your finger and not select a connector instead - but this is not a big issue - using the pencil helps a bit. Did I say this is FABULOUS?

### 5/5 — Impossible a two xor gates

*2024-04-29, version 1.1.0*

S

### 5/5 — Amazing tool!

*2023-09-29*

There is actually a remove feature for components and if you take the later connection of each wire and touch and swipe it off of the component it gets rid of it too so not sure why it’s a problem with everyone else. I brought this to a fellow instructor in the avionics dept at the college where I teach, he has now downloaded the app and uses it in class. this thing even visually checks it against the truth table.  Good job guys I wish there were more levels and some info on the internet to figure out the one I’m stuck on. One of three… been on it for a week now

### 5/5 — Amazing App, Please Continuing Update

*2023-08-17, version 1.1.0*

A great app for learning different logic gate, It’s sad that it only has 21 problems.
Thank You for such a Amazing App for absolutely Free.
PS, 4 bit register has the wrong visual, hopefully it gets fixed. And I wish the clock can adjust the clock speed.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-03-04, version 1.1.0*

I absolutely love this app

### 5/5 — Awesome But Needs A Few Improvements

*2022-12-10*

Love this app. Spend hours tinkering with it before wiring up a breadboard. You will learn a lot. But making/breaking connections between gate inputs and outputs, as well as moving gates around the screen is not done consistently in a straight forward manner which is why I deducted a star.

### 5/5 — Solid

*2021-11-11*

I was skeptical at first but this is really amazing!

### 5/5 — Prima gemacht

*2021-09-25, version 1.1.0*

Sehr gut geeignet um die Grundlagen der Digitaltechnik aufzufrischen. Klasse App!
