Useful app

Hi,this is useful app but it’s needed to update to be better but don’t happen,I don’t know why!!…?
But good and only this one work to open eagle files
It will be great that happens for altiume “.pcbdoc” and “gerber” files but i don’t find any app in app store😔😑

Great idea, but too glitchy to use

I really wanted this app to work! Being able to review my PCBs on my phone or iPad would be super convenient. I was able to view the 2D Eagle files without problem, but the 3D views just don’t work. In one of the demo boards when you rotate to the bottom side, it is mirrored. On another board, it renders pads, but no board or traces. If the 3D render worked, it would be a 4 star app.

The last feature it’s missing to be really functional is to support loading boards from the Files app. Currently, you can only load them from sources like a web server, Github, or Dropbox.

Great app

Can be buggy but so is eagle!

I use this app everyday and it works great for me.

Great potential, stale

This app has great potential but it is not actively
developed, and lots of bugs have accrued.

Can’t import

Can not import anything from Dropbox.

Screen glitches

This app is very useful, I’ve enjoyed reviewing my projects on the fly anywhere away from my computer, but after a week of having this app installed my screen on phone phone started to glitch, when using the app I’d tap several times on something and no response, then suddenly all my taps quickly happened and was unstable. Outside of the app my screen would do the same thing, the touch screen would stop working in sections, I would force quit the app and the problems went away until I opened the app again. After upgrading my phone I installed the app again thinking it was just the last phone. After a week on the new phone with the app installed same issues came up. I deleted the app completely and now my phone is acting normal. Not sure what’s happened but it’s sad to not be able to keep the app. It’s great.

Good App

I like this app. I use it a lot to check circuits and components when assembling PCBs. The schematics are not perfect, but they’re good enough, and better than printing them to paper from Eagle. I’ve seen none of the issues reported by other reviewers. The only thing that bugs me is importing from iCloud which is cumbersome

Utterly useless

Give me a refund please. This app just doesn’t work. It won’t allow me to import .sch and the .brd files just come up blank. Complete waste of time and money.

Excellent pcb app for eagle cad

It’s a great app. Good value for money app. It’s not perfect - but I fInd it very useful. Always wanted to review my pcbs on the tube on way to work...

although, if I had one request... I would ask the author to allow some form of categories, perhaps folders- I have too many circuits for one list!

Doesn’t work on iPod touch.

Really disappointed that the app just hangs at a blank screen. Otherwise it looks like a really useful app.

Love the idea, but too many issues

This app is exactly what I was ever looking for. Review boards on the go on my iPad.
It works ok, but it still seems to be in beta stage. Too many issues. Silkscreen elements look completely different on the app compared to Eagle/Gerber/production. Which makes it useless for review.
Multiple inner layer nets are not displayed on a 4-layer board.
3D view is nice, but the part mapping for a comprehensive 3D view is not sufficient. All the boards I work with have “special” parts which are not available for 3D view. Too basic for any professional/serious use.
Again, I wish it were what it should be, but for now I would see it as a free teaser. But I paid for it and hope future updates makes it what it should be.

This works really well

I found this app to be a really pleasant surprise. It’s slick, fast, and just works. It makes reviewing eagle board files hundreds of times easier than pdf.

This is actually far easier to use for view board data than eagle itself.

App does not open some files at Aurduino.cc

Tried to contact developer to find out how to fix it and they never responded back (been ~ a week now).

Took a while but dev did respond because of that have changed to 5!

Slow, buggy, non-existent support

This should be a great app, the concept is good, the intended functionality useful. Unfortunately it is slow, buggy, crashes at the drop of a hat, and the developer's technical support is almost non-existent.

Surprising

I thought the price was a bit high at first for a viewer when I didn't know if it would be good or not but after trying it out it's surprisingly nice and slick. Schematic view is super handy and layout view works well, 3D view is a nice touch too. Component names when selected on long press in layout, BOM list, definitely not regretting the purchase. I notice however that in 3D view the bottom layer is mirrored and incorrect which is obvious on 2 sided pcbs such as the arduino uni rev3 sample provided. I'll eagerly await an update that addresses this 🙂

Views Eagle Files with Ease

Works really well viewing Eagle files. The ability to look at a board file and schematic on the iPad is really useful. Also has a good built in search when looking for parts. I highly recommended this app.

Great App

If you use Eagle PCB software, you need this app. It lets you see both your schematic and board on your iPhone. It also shows a BOM file which makes parts ordering a breeze. If you delete a board it only removes it from your iphone, your original file is untouched. You can view either side of a two sided board as well as an x-ray view looking through the board. And also a 3-D view of your board. Like the eyeball in Eagle you can highlight a trace or part in the schematic and it will highlight on the board. I highly recommend this app. If you have an iPad it's even better.

Perfect

Works great!
