Quickly and easily determine a remote GPS location from two, or more, geolocated points with compass bearings to that location. Specifically designed for use in the field, Field Triangulate supports: - Fully automated use of iOS device location. Compass bearings are best manually entered. - Manual entry/edit of any/all readings. - On map display in various display modes. - Manually update device bearings (e.g. for use with a compass.) - Share the triangulation to others. - Multiple latitude/longitude formats: -- Decimal degrees -- Degrees and decimal minutes -- Degrees, minutes and seconds. -- (Display for UTM.) Basic usage: Use your iOS device & compass to take bearing on a remote location from two locations and Field Triangulate will calculate and display the GPS coordinate for the remote location. Advanced usage: Enter readings provided from a remote person (perhaps by iPhone or radio) and add your own readings manually in order to calculate a remote location.

Circuit Lab is an electronic circuit analysis tool based on the modified node analysis method. Four kind of analysis may be conducted: - DC: linear and non linear circuits with continuous voltage and current sources; - AC: linear e non linear circuits with sinusoidal voltage and current sources; - Multifrequency AC Analysis: linear and non linear circuits with sinusoidal voltage and current sources. It allows to analyze the circuit behavior in a range of frequencies. Useful to study the bandwidth of the circuit; - Transient: linear and non linear circuits, with sinusoidal and pulse voltage sources (available as In App Purchases). User can graphically draw the circuit and then the circuit can be analyzed. Circuit may be controlled by means of the following gestures: - Drag: to move the circuit into the desired position - Tap on a component: to modify the component's parameters - Pinch: to zoom in and out - Double Finger Double Tap: to reset position and zoom level to the original values Tapping DC button, user gets voltage at each circuit's node. Tapping AC button, user gets voltage phasors at each circuit node or the bode graph of the voltage at each circuit node (see BJT 16 - Common Emitter). Phasor graphs may be controlled by means of the following gesture: - Drag: to move the graph into the desired position - Pinch: to zoom in and out - Double Finger Double Tap: to reset position and zoom level to the original values Pressing Transient button, user can analyze circuit's behavior during time and get graphs of voltages and currents function of time. Each circuit can contain: - Resistors - Capacitors - Inductors - Mutual Coupled Inductors - Independent sinusoidal voltage generators - Independent pulse voltage generators - Independent sinusoidal current generators - Controlled voltage generators - Controlled current generators - Operation Amplifier - Diodes - Zener Diodes - Bjt NPN and PNP - Channel-N and Channel-P JFet - Channel-N and Channel-P Mosfet For each component, a short video is available to demonstrate how to insert it into the circuit and edit it's characteristics. Circuits may be easily stored and reused. User can print: - Circuits and component's list - Transient Analysis graphs Circuits can be easily shared through iCloud, by mail in the internal format so that can be reused by other users (on iPad too) and in PDF format. Visit my site for video tutorials and details about operational amplifier's internal model and diode's internal model.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Field Triangulate at 3.7 against Circuit Laboratory's 3.0. Field Triangulate also leads on review sentiment (40% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months). Circuit Laboratory's advantage is price ($5.99 vs $7.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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
Field Triangulate costs $7.99 and Circuit Laboratory $5.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Field Triangulate holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Field Triangulate has 21 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of Field Triangulate's written reviews are positive against 0% of Circuit Laboratory's.
Field Triangulate ships an update every 2 months, Circuit Laboratory every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
