Very disappointed
TuckEazy
Switches AND relays, regardless of state, always allow power through them, opened or closed. I want a refund Also there should be a new component: rotary switch I keep finding more and more issues now a simple transistor H-Bridge won’t drive a motor, a random wire will say wire loop no resistance. arduino will randomly throw the “convergence failed” error code even though the code I’m working on works on real arduino
Uniquely Qualified

Electrical engineers will find absolutely nothing comparable to this app when seeking an electrical circuit design/test bed/simulator. The declaration above has been true since 2015
Awesome just needs a few fixes

This app is great. It simulates pretty much everything. There are some missing ics but way more than any other sim I’ve used. The arduino simulator is decent. There are some bugs with certain functions like “sizeof”. Hopefully this gets updated. All in all worth the sticker price. The iOS app is way better than the pc version.
Schematic design and simulation all-in-one

By far the best choice for mobile, and superior to most desktop apps. Despite occasional simulation issues, and a somewhat limited library of components (you can edit or build most things you need that aren’t included) I”m thoroughly satisfied. Looking forward to updates and spending more free time designing now that I won’t be tied to a work station all the time.
Useless
awesome knives sarcoma Onix
I should have guessed that if developer was confident about the app, they would have offered a trial version. I had to purchase to realize how useless this app is.
Defects in some of the circuit elements

I have been using this app on my iPhone and iPad. For one thing you have to make different purchases to use it on different devices. This is unfair. I should able to use the app both on my iPhone or iPad alternatively. They don’t have the option to log in and hence you have to keep purchasing if you change your device. Second, the parts are not working properly. For instance the zener diode will allow the flow of current in both direction for all values of the input voltage. This is completely wrong according to the principles under which zinger diodes should behave. I think you don’t really need to purchase this app unless you want to add your money to ash like me. From what it is, this app is really useless.

As a non electronics guy I find this to be a nifty tool and learning venue. Wow what a treat!
Overpriced for what it offers

I'm an EE and I've used professional circuit simulators. This app is cute, intuitive, and easy to use. It's a fun educational toy and might even be useful for someone starting out to learn electronics. However, it is very far from being a pro quality simulator, and at the $9.99 pricepoint for an iOS app I expected better. The models have very few parameters, there seems to be no way to add complex subcomponents (such as different analog ICs), the scope has no triggering and is unstable, and the resolution is low. At 99 cents this would be a five star app. At $9.99 it's just not.
Electrical engineer hates this app

I would rather write SPICE scripts than use this, literature online deviates from what is in the application. Really hard to just get scope probing going for something super elementary.
