EveryCircuit

Decent simulation and features. Good for initial concept simulation and hobbiest use. One feature it is desperately lacking is nested abstracrions, like making your own "integrated circuits" for more complex circuits. While it isn't pro level, it's great for making proof-of-concept peices to show clients and other EEs.

i have had the pro version for 5 years(bought it $14.99), and It worked well till I upgraded it. After the upgrade, it doesn't open anymore. It just gives me the message, "Unfortunately EverCircuit has stopped working". I have sent a message to its developers to correct the issue. Untill then, I will stick with the one star negative reviews till I rather get the app working again or my $14.99. Very expensive for a mobile app that will stop working 5 years later.

On my previous apple devices, I used iCircuit. Compared to iCircuit, Everycircuit is smoother in processing, allows you to see more (oscilloscope and component configuration do not take up the whole screen), is better for experimentation, and has an online community feature. Great app if you want to do anything with electronics.

To be able to build and simulate your circuits is nice. Also to be able to simulate the circuits built by others is cool. I don't agree with the fact that it has a price, simply because there are awesome circuit simulator apps which sure are worth what they cost. If you have choosen to pay for a simulator there are better ones, and if EveryCircuit was free then it will qualify as one the better free simulator apps.

As a retired Electrical Engineer, I'm often making or analyzing small circuits. I've used EveryCircuit to help me make and fix toys for grandkids. I designed a test circuit for a heat pump component. Once a math teacher wanted to show a mathematics application so I designed a simple oscillator and showed the simulation. I even enjoyed all the tutorials. I was amazed that I could do all that on my smart phone. I'll probably use it even more since I learned there was a version for Chrome. When I had some difficulty with my account, I was extremely pleased with the response I got (within hours) from the Support.

I've been using this for 9 years now and it has been great. I cannot recommend it enough to anyone taking a EE class in college. Beyond having a little SPICE in your pocket, it's a way to build an intuitive understanding of how components behave together and where the sensitivities are, something that can illude engineers well into their own careers.

Cool app but the smart placement of where the app chooses to place the joint is not helpful. It throws off the circuit placing joint incorrectly in front or behind components. As well using the 555 gives random undesired responses such as crashing, failure to present some of the circuits info to screen or slowing down the phone itself. But impressive app none the less.

It's easy to use, fun to work with, lets you know if there is a problem, However, you can only use L.E.D.s projects with no sound. It will not let you download paid version to other devices. I wish I could download it to my new phone. Also I'd like to see more parts and more room on the board for paid version. if it were free I would see having limited space and part list.

Very useful and easy to use IF you are somewhat familiar with electrical components. Only 4 stars for a couple of reasons. The component list is pretty small. It would be nice to have fuses, different types of relays, switches, ect. The option to name components would also be very helpful. Other than that, it seems like a great tool so far.

Great app. I bought the full version, I just wish the project was given the attention it deserves and expanded, updated at a higher frequency. It's obviously still got some minor problems. But I'd like to see expansion on the components. Also would like to see the components organized in some sort of catalog. Besides that the circuit operation is pretty good and accurate. I enjoy just wasting time on here. But it has potiential to be professional tool.

Great app for very simple circuitry. I have a couple problems here though. The first being a limited number of components. Simple LDRs or thermocouples shouldn't be too hard to write into the software. Not to mention things like sensors or voltage regulators. The other thing I find annoying is the lack of a duplicate or clone feature. If I need to place 10 or 20 resistors of the same value, I have to sit there for a good amount of time adding each one and setting the value manually. Not fun. The build area is limited to a pretty low number of components. And the biggest complaint I have here is sending feedback to the developers and not receiving any kind of response. In my mind, that right there costs them a star. That tells me they are done listening to any kind of criticism or feedback. In my opinion, EveryCircuit is not worth the money, period.

Most of the higher logic doesn't work, like the A.D.C., the S.R. Flip-flop, the T Flip flop, and other devices. Also, the simulator itself has some questionable qualities, like the fact that when the switch is deactivated in an inductor circuit without a diode, it doesn't spike, and when a diode is added to it, the durration of the gradual decline is too fast or doesn't happen at all. I would like it to be more accurate so that when I'm testing for a real circuit, I can do so accurately.

Seems decent, very limited component options. Focus appears to lean on the DC side, rather than AC. I am looking to find an app to design electric guitar circuits. This app definitely has potential from a usability and functionality perspective, but there needs to be component options added (ex. Standard, push-push, & push-pull potentiometers, assorted capacitors, resistors, switches, diodes, etc).

Its usefull in every step of the journey that is electronics. If you have an intrest but are intimidated by the complexity, it serves to demystify. If you're always making small circuits to solve daily irks or even a vetted EE solving a time critical system failure, its faster than a bread board an never runs out of precicion value components. Plus, the ability to change component values during simulation puts it a step above the modelers that just show you a calculated waveform. 5 stars, easy.

This app is worth its weight in gold. Anytime i need to test a circuit idea, i quickly mock it up with this program, tune parameters and I'm ready to build in real life. This program has most of the components passive and active one could need for both digital and analog systems. You can test it with the free version, but once you realize how intuitively easy it is you'll want the pro version. I bought it once, now its on all my devices! Ive tried several other progs, this is the winner!

Fantastic, useful and educational, this application simply sets the standard for circuit simulators. I wish it had transformers with 3+ windings, though... and capacitive transformers. A watt meter would be fantastic also. I think if it could vary it's simulation granularity based on how much the signal(s) in the circuit are changing, it would would help increase accuracy significantly. To achieve the same effect now, I need to slow the simulation by orders of magnitude. Perfectly amazing! 🤩

This is currently my favorite mobile circuit simulator, and it deserves a lot of praise. Its workflow is generally practical and efficient, and you can simulate many analog and digital circuits. The auto routing can mess with that on occasion, but it works better than manually connecting components like in Proto. Wish I could use JFETs but oh well. The free version is far too limited to be useful for most people, including complete beginners, but the one-time purchase is completely worth it.
