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/

Pass circuits. 3 minutes a day. Ohmie teaches electronics the way you'd learn a language: short, game-like lessons you actually solve, not paragraphs you skim. Lessons are read aloud, so your eyes stay on the circuit. Everything below is part of Ohmie Pro, an auto-renewing subscription. Details are in OHMIE PRO SUBSCRIPTION at the end. REAL PRACTICE • Live circuit sims: stack battery cells, dim an LED, watch current respond to resistance • Build schematics by dragging real components into place • Decode resistor color bands, spot the broken circuit, order the steps • Miss a question? It comes back in Practice until it sticks. That's the method, not a penalty. LEARN THE FULL PATH • Electronics: charge, current, voltage, Ohm's law, series and parallel, capacitors, power, analog, then transistors, logic gates and an 8-bit computer you can run, pause and step through • Physics: charge, electric fields, Gauss's law, potential, capacitors, circuits, magnetism and induction • Embedded systems: GPIO, timers, PWM, ADC, interrupts, serial protocols, build a device • Robotics: sensors, motors, PID control, build a line-following racer • PCB design: schematics, layout, routing, production • Programming: Python, and C++ for Arduino MOMENTUM THAT FORGIVES XP, streaks, daily quests, 28 badges to earn, skins to unlock, leaderboards, and a mascot named Ohmie who reacts to every answer and is on your side. Streaks are forgiving. Life happens. Stuck? Ask Ohmie and get a hint in plain words. No ads. Learn in English, Spanish or German. Sign in to keep your progress across devices. OHMIE PRO SUBSCRIPTION Ohmie is free to download. The lessons, practice, circuit sims, Ask Ohmie and everything else described above require an Ohmie Pro subscription, billed monthly or yearly. The yearly plan starts with a free trial for eligible new subscribers. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Circuit Simulator at none against Ohmie's shown. Circuit Simulator also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 48%) and iOS requirement (15.3 vs 26.2). Ohmie's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and chart position (#189 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
