App is useless

Mixineric

App needs a free version to try first. Pretty upset that I just spent 10 dollars on an app that is missing a lot of stuff.

Good program for simple modeling of circuits

Wished it had more components but otherwise a good simulator

I really like this app! It does an excellent job of simulating circuits! I wish I could give it 5 stars. I scream a lot when I use it though. I’m very happy to see that it is currently being developed and I look forward to some badly needed fixes! Undo is so scary that I’d like a switch to disable it. It randomly undoes a single change, or everything I did in the last half hour. And there’s no undo-the-undo. Rage. Auto wire appears necessary, as I cannot wire anything with it off. But it’s insane. Sometimes I drag a label and it rewires disconnected components. Sometimes it removes existing wiring. The logic here is failing tragically. Rage. I would love to see these and other issues addressed please, so that I can continue using this very promising app with less rage. Also, I’d love to see you continue to expand the available components and add more variations. Personally I’d like thermal switches that open/close at variable temps, latching relays, etc for automotive circuitry. A changeable background color would be nice too. Great execution so far! Please keep improving it!! Thanks,

Great with a few bugs

I really enjoy this app for the wealth of components and features it has. I would recommend to any aspiring electrical engineer like myself. I think the benefits definitely outweigh the downsides.

Two stars because it works at first.

Experienced critic

I spent 90 minutes on a circuit and then it disappeared. I had named it but it was gone. A few hours later I picked up my tablet again and made another circuit. Then I went and use some other apps for a while and when I came back that one was gone. When I look at all the reviews I see a lot of people complaining about it losing and not saving. I see that is not fixed yet. They should pull this from the market until they fix that. This app is not ready for general distribution. I love that it worked while I was using it but losing all my work is just not acceptable. So one star for being garbage, and the second star is for working at all sometimes.

Missing important things!

I am trying to design a circuit that involves connecting LEDs. The LEDs that I have have a fwd voltage of 3V and current of 20mA. The problem with this app is that it does not allow you to adjust the value of the current for the LED, it is set to 1A. Also, how do you power up the arduino?

Simulate/Support Broken

Paid for in hopes it would fill the gap Multisim left. Tried many attempts to simulate a simple ckt and it freezes up. Have to kill it every time. Emailed s/w support and left feedback and have not been contacted. Very disappointed!

Amendment to last review.

In my last review I was very frustrated with how it was not working any more, and I thought it was because they didnt care about this app any more. This is what I wrote, then: “Used to be the best circuit simulator around, even better than the computer versions of electronics workbench. Now it is notworking at all, very poor app. Will not work on updated versions of ipad.” HOWEVER NOW, I APOLOGISE, I was wrong in thinking you didn,t care! There is a lot of time and effort, needed to keep updating your app, to keep up with the changes in oprating systems. Shame on me to acuse you of not caring about your customers. You DO care about keeping your apps up to date, it just takes time and resources to do that. I want to say THANK YOU, to all of you who put forth the tremendous effort to bring this app to high standards again. GOD Bless you all for your time and efforts.

I love it, and the developer

Makes it so much easier to figure out circuits, I'm very happy it's being developed again. Sidenote: I just found out this developer also makes two of my other current favorite ipad programs, my c# IDE and a script calculator that supports units. Thanks a bunch for the useful programs!

Excellent circuit simulator

Over the years I’ve used professional grade circuit simulators for the pc, and I can say that while it may not offer all the bells and whistles of those simulators, that it does well for what it offers at an unbeatable price.
