Build a circuit. See current flow. Understand how it works. Electro Sim turns electronics into something you can explore on your iPhone or iPad. Place components, connect wires, and run a simulation to see how your circuit responds. Whether you are learning the basics, preparing a classroom demonstration, or testing an idea, start with a working example or build your own. BUILD ON A CANVAS OR A BREADBOARD Create schematic circuits with drag-and-drop components and flexible wiring, or try a virtual breadboard with components and jumper wires. Zoom in to make connections, rotate parts, and use undo and redo as you experiment. SEE WHAT CHANGES WHEN YOU CHANGE THE CIRCUIT Follow animated current flow, inspect voltage and current readings, and use a virtual multimeter to explore circuit behavior. Adjust component values, toggle switches, or advance the simulation one step at a time to connect cause and effect. LEARN THROUGH WORKING EXAMPLES Explore LED circuits, capacitor charging, logic gates, adders, counters, seven-segment displays, and traffic lights. Selected examples include guided steps that help you investigate the circuit and check your understanding. FIND THE PARTS YOU NEED Browse a searchable component library with resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, LEDs, transistors, switches, buzzers, logic gates, and signal sources. Component descriptions and pin information help you decide what to use and how to connect it. TURN CIRCUIT BLOCKS INTO REUSABLE MODULES With Pro, create custom components from circuit blocks, define their pins, and reuse them in new projects. Build up a collection of modules as your ideas grow. Custom component creation and use require an active Pro subscription. SAVE AND SHARE YOUR WORK Save projects to revisit later, exchange circuit files in JSON format, and export circuit snapshots or PDF reports with readings and notes for learning and discussion. Designed for iPhone and iPad, with light and dark appearances and English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese interfaces. Start with one LED, then see where your curiosity takes you.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Electro Sim at 100% against LogicGate's 0%. Electro Sim also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.4) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). LogicGate's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Electro Sim sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and LogicGate sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Electro Sim holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LogicGate has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Electro Sim's written reviews are positive against 0% of LogicGate's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Electro Sim ships an update every 4 months, LogicGate fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
