Take circuits off the page: draw them, power them up, then build them by hand. SCHEMATIC • Standard symbols: resistors, capacitors, diodes, LEDs, Zener diodes, transistors, relays, switches, motors, buzzers, sensors, logic gates, op-amps, 555 timers and more • Choose IEC or ANSI (US) symbol style • Snap-to-grid wiring; rotate, flip and swap parts in a tap; Apple Pencil support • Color themes and art styles; export crisp images of your schematic SIMULATION • Turn a schematic into a working simulation in one tap. A checklist points out missing values and wiring problems one by one • Moving green dots show current; blue numbers show the voltage at each node • Flip switches, press buttons, turn potentiometers, change light and temperature, and the circuit responds instantly • Watch capacitors charge and discharge, transistors amplify and switch, relays latch, logic gates oscillate and 555 timers count down • Oscilloscope for waveforms; record the current animation and export it as a GIF BREADBOARD • Realistic breadboard, battery box, components and chips: follow the schematic and plug them in step by step • Or build freely, picking parts from the parts list • Power it up to check your work: does the lamp light, does the motor turn? • Analog and digital multimeters measure voltage, current and resistance EXAMPLES 12 complete examples: basic circuit, capacitor charge and discharge, rectifier with filter and regulator, sensors and transistors, Darlington pair, transistor latch, three-person voting circuit, logic-gate oscillator, relay motor reversing, op-amp oscillator, 555 oscillator and 555 timer. Each comes as a schematic, a simulation and a breadboard, and you can change anything. To keep your changes, save it as your own circuit. EVERYDAY USE • Syncs between iPad and iPhone through iCloud • Share a link and anyone can open your circuit in a web browser • No sign-up, no ads, no personal data collected • English and Chinese Great for physics and technology classes, electronics hobbyists and makers, and teachers demonstrating in class. MEMBERSHIP Free forever: drawing and exporting schematics, plus everything in the 12 examples (including their simulations and breadboards). Membership unlocks: simulating circuits you draw yourself, the breadboard for your own circuits, and art styles. • Yearly membership: auto-renewing subscription, billed yearly • Lifetime membership: one-time purchase Both support Family Sharing.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Crescendo Ear at none against Circuit Design & Simulation's 2. Crescendo Ear also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Circuit Design & Simulation's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
