iCircuit is the premier iPad and iPhone app for designing and experimenting with circuits and Arduinos. Its advanced simulation engine can handle both analog and digital circuits and features realtime always-on analysis. It is the perfect companion to students, hobbyists, and engineers.
You use it as you would any CAD program: you add elements, connect them together, and set their properties.
But iCircuit is unlike other CAD programs because it is always simulating. It's just like working with the real circuit. You do not stop to take a measurement or spend a lot of time configuring reports. Instead, you just play with the circuit as you normally would, with the power on!
There are over 300 elements you can use to build your circuits. The app has everything from a programmable Arduino, to simple resistors, to switches, to MOSFETS, to digital gates.
The app features a multimeter that you use to probe around the circuit to instantly read voltages and currents. If you want to see how a value changes over time, then you can add values to the built-in oscilloscope. The scope can simultaneously track many signals over time and features a touch interface to control the total time displayed and stacked and unstacked modes to easily compare signals. The scope can also display the Fourier transform of any signal so that you can see the performance of filters.
Supported elements include:
• Programmable Arduino using a subset of the C programming language
• Programmable PIC controllers using assembly language or hex files
• Signal generators, Voltage sources, Current sources, and Dependent sources
• Resistors, Capacitors, and Inductors
• Manual SPST/SPDT and DPST/DPDT Switches, Push buttons, and Relays
• LEDs, Diodes, BJ Transistors, and MOSFETs, Thermistors
• Triodes and tetrodes
• Audio simulation with Speakers, Microphones, Buzzers, and LEDs
• DC Motors and Servos
• ADCs, and DACs
• Logic gates: AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR
• JK and D Flip-flops
• 180 digital ICs from the 4000 and 7400 series
• 78xx and LM317 voltage regulators
• 7-segment and matrix displays
• Antenna with simulated AM and FM signals
You can also create sub circuits to introduce new elements and componentize your designs.
No matter your skill set, you'll be playing with circuits in no time with iCircuit.

Great App
Although expensive for an app, iCircuit really is worth the money.
As someone who has lots of ideas and little knowledge of electronics, being able to make and test a circuit quickly, anywhere, at any time is fantastic.
I’d highly recommend this app to anyone with even a mild interest in electronics.
It’s awesome!
I doubt is it will cost this money.
But for simple build circuit it’s work. Of course if you need more bigger base of element or more complicate system - go to pc soft like Altium Designer or analogs.
PS - osciloscope work, dont believe other comment.
Arduino
The Arduino does not power up. Help files don’t work. Sorry it’s rubbish spent 3 hours with this and getting absolutely no further forward.
:)
Good app, very helpful
Fantastic tool
This is a great way to learn the theory and applications of electrical circuits without having to invest in hardware or breadboards. Thanks
Poor quantity of components for price
It’s alright, a bit fiddly to use but very limited on the quantity of components especially for the price
Great app for the hobbyist.
I use this app several times a week to build fun circuits and understand more about stuff. Interface can be a little bit fiddly and requires getting used to. Definitely worth the money.
Crashes on iPhone and Mac
Any time I try to draw out a larger circuit using LEDs, Junction Diodes and 18 or so DPST relays the app crashes!
I’ve contacted support but had no response.
It’s such a shame as I think iCircuit could be such a useful tool, but currently I can’t use it for any serious project until the bugs are squashed.
Is this app still supported?
I like this
This app is great to test circuits. I like that you can add an Arduino to it including code and console output.
HAS IMPROVED - BUT DO NOT TRUST RESULTS
I purchased this App a couple of years ago, and found it lacking, so switched to EveryCircuit, and purchased the full version, then updated to an iPad pro and thought I'd give this another try.
I did the same circuit in both Apps, basically a 50hz 16v bridge rectifier with 4 diodes, a 5th diode from the +ve to a pair of 4,700 uF Capacitors and 'scoped' the result .... the EveryCircuit version is perfect, Icircuit is totally wrong, just still scopes a standard sine wave .... ok on some things, but don't have enough confidence to fully trust its results. Still needs improvements ....
