If you are an iPad owner interested in learning about electronics and experimenting on circuits without the expense of the parts and tools, iCircuit is an application that will immeasurably help you satiated this goal. Overall, iCircuit is a highly educational and terrifically useful electronics lab simulator for students, electronics enthusiasts and professionals alike. Still, if program optimizations can be made by making the overlays move more fluidly over the design surface as well as give the user more responsiveness over the selection of an electronic element on the diagram to be monitored, such improvements would go a long way toward satisfying demanding customers like me. Obviously there are a lot of things going on that are making demands on the iPad's processor, especially when capturing multimeter measurements and viewing the scope overlays. The second criticism occurs as diagrams get complex, the program seems to get less responsive. Hopefully this slight annoyance can be resolved with an update that adds a "Snap to Grid" setting that can be turned on or off depending on the user's preference. If the developer could add an option to the settings to allow free movement of the wiring elements first, and then snap to the closest grid point, that would go a long way toward relieving the minor annoyances caused by fighting the current placement system. iCircuit has a tendency of fighting the movement by aggressively snapping endpoints into place via the virtual grid it uses to keep diagrams clean. Since iCircuit is always simulating, there's no need to compile or run a simulation on your circuit. Use the built-in virtual multimeter and oscilloscopes to measure signals at any point in the circuit. Choose from digital or analog components, ICs, MOSFETs, and more to build your circuit. The first occurs when trying to reposition elements and wire traces. With a huge library of available components to choose from, iCircuit is a virtual prototype board at your fingertips.
I have two very minor criticisms, both UI-related.
