All joking aside, this time you will understand how electronic circuits work. Build any circuit, tap play button, and watch dynamic voltage, current, and charge animations. This gives you insight into circuit operation like no equation does. While simulation is running, adjust circuit parameters with analog knob, and the circuit responds to your actions in real time. You can even generate an arbitrary input signal with your finger! "This app takes design to a whole new level of interactivity" - Design News EveryCircuit is not just an eye candy. Under the hood it packs custom-built simulation engine optimized for interactive mobile use, serious numerical methods, and realistic device models. In short, Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's current and voltage laws, nonlinear semiconductor device equations, and all the good stuff is there. Growing library of components gives you freedom to design any analog or digital circuit from a simple voltage divider to transistor-level masterpiece. Schematic editor features automatic wire routing, and minimalistic user interface. No nonsense, less tapping, more productivity. Simplicity, innovation, and power, combined with mobility, make EveryCircuit a must-have companion for high school science and physics students, electrical engineering college students, breadboard and printed circuit board (PCB) enthusiasts, and ham radio hobbyists. Join EveryCircuit cloud community to store your circuits on cloud and access them from any of your mobile devices. Explore public community circuits and share your own designs. EveryCircuit is free to download and use. There is an option to purchase the Full Version of EveryCircuit that allows you to build and simulate large circuits, save unlimited number of circuits, store them on cloud, and sync between your devices. It is available via a one time in-app purchase for $14.99.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: EveryCircuit at 51% against Arduino Pocket Reference's 12%. EveryCircuit also leads on rating (3.0 vs 2.5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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
Both are free to download. EveryCircuit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Arduino Pocket Reference sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
EveryCircuit holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 67 and 19 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of EveryCircuit's written reviews are positive against 12% of Arduino Pocket Reference's.
EveryCircuit ships an update every 3 months, Arduino Pocket Reference every 5 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
