User reviews

Great app

Thank you for putting out a nice app for PLC newbies. Itโ€™s great to see someone spend the time to plan out, design, and build this sim to let anyone have it for free and no ads! That first review from 7 years ago was just some retired PLC tech that never reached their goals in this world. I would love to know how to make apps and do some free sims on electronics and programming myself. Thank you again for the sim!

Response from developer

Thank you for your great review and 5 stars. Thank you for your appreciation of the hard work it takes to make an app like this. This app took me long hours over 3 years, but it was worth it. The software I use is LiveCode. It is a small company that most likely is struggling against AI. It is the best mobile app development software on the planet, since it is object oriented and the code can be compiled into iOS, Android, Mac OS and Windows. But, Apple and Android has made it very difficult to get all the approvals and permissions to get apps uploaded to their app stores. Simple programs can be created within a couple of days of downloading LiveCode software. LiveCode offers a trail version, if you are interested. Thanks for trying the app. David

Exactly what it says on the tin

I downloaded this to play around with because I needed a simple example to show people how ladder works, now I recommend it to anyone who is interested in PLCs. Great little app, thanks for building and sharing it!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for telling me that you are using it to teach others. That is the main reason I spent so much time writing the app. You might also find value in another app I wrote called "PLC Simulator 2". David

Great intro to PLC world

Some basic info to explain what we are looking at and a really nice SIM section to do few (9) basic assignments. Solutions are provided for comparison. Great way to get introduced to ladder logic. Would like to see a section that explains how the particular components work. Thank you for making this!!!

Thank you for taking time to write such a good review with specfic points and your 5 stars. Concerning "like to see a section that explains how", I do have a short YouTube video on Timers and counters to watch at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeDcJN1euXE&t=8s . Is this the kind of thing you are referring to? I can definitely improve on the quality of that video. David

Helps my students

I been using this app to help my students understand better when their at home .

Response from developer

Thank you for taking time to write a review telling me that you are using it in the classroom and giving it 5 stars. I was hoping that this app would find its way into the classroom to help students better under stand PLCs. I have another app that is designed to help students learn basic PLC programming. The name of that app is "PLC Simulator 2, Ladder Logic". It has animations that interact with the PLC program. David

Great for PLC beginners

Very nice app for beginners. The UI can be more interactive but the contents are great.
