MuStripKit is a versatile microstrip toolkit app for microstrip circuit analysis and design. The app realizes various functions, including microstrip line analysis and synthesis, calculations of input impedance, reflection coefficient, and frequency response in terms of S-parameters. A Smith chart tool is also provided to aid in designing a microstrip circuit. In addition, using a novel multiple 1-D FDTD method, the app shows time-domain simulation of microstrip circuits incorporated with lumped elements, including resistors, capacitors, and inductors in parallel, as well as series connections. Several educational circuit examples are provided to help illustrate the electromagnetic wave propagation in the microstrip circuit. For more information, please refer to "A Microstrip Circuit Tool Kit App with FDTD Analysis Including Lumped Elements," IEEE Microwave Magazine, vol. 16, no. 1, pp. 74-80, 2015. User interface: - touch on number field to input/change value - slider may be used to change value - swipe left/right to select circuit element - press 'Add'/'Del' to add/delete circuit element in schematic - tap to select circuit element in schematic - long press to move circuit element in schematic

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GraphMath at 5.0 against MuStripKit's 4.5. GraphMath also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (12 vs 2). MuStripKit's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
GraphMath holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GraphMath has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
MuStripKit ships an update every 19 months, GraphMath fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
