VoltSim is a realtime electronic circuit simulator like Multisim, SPICE, LTspice, Altium or Proto for circuit design with a better user experience. VoltSim is a complete circuit app in which you can design circuits with various components and simulate an electric or digital circuit. During simulation you can check voltage, current and many other variables. Check signals on multichannel oscilloscope or multimeter and tune your circuit in real time! You can also use VoltSim as logic circuit simulator and perform digital electronic analysis! This app will help you visualize how the voltage varies across the circuit and how current flows through it. T&C: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
