Well, this is one pretty useful one in my opinion, but im interested to know if you guys use / know of any others? 

Feel free to add iphone apps, im sure there are other forumites with iphones that would find them useful!


Cheers!

Hi chromosphere,

Thank you for sharing your find.
Could you please tell us where did you downloaded such a useful apps from?
Guys from the Russian guitar forum (gtlab.net) are very interested to download them, too.

Thank you in advance.

Wow!
Thanks!
We've found a lot of electronics programs here:

Hey DDD,

Yep thats where you get it (google play store) https://play.google.com/store?hl=en&tab=w8.  You will obviously need a phone / tablet with andriod to download programs on the play store though.

Thanks!

I'm on the iPhone and I've been playing with the iCircuit simulator app. It's  animated to show the direction of current flow at selected paths, but it's a little buggy (crashes sometimes).  It's kinda neat, but I don't recall the price.  I don't know if it's available for Android.

There are tons of signal generators and waveform viewers.

Not really apps, but when I find an online resource that I want to quickly access, I save the site to a folder on my iPhone desktop rather than bookmarking it in a browser. This makes the site seem like an app because I tap the icon just like an app to access it. Here's a good example site with a bazillion electronics calculators:

And here's an example folder on my desktop:

Great info John!  I might have to give that circuit simulator a go.  The signal generators / wave form viewers look like a bit of fun as well :)

Not an app, but this TI document has just about everything you ever wanted to know about op amps. One day I'm going to read it. :)

I've played around with this one with some synthesizers, but you could probably use it with a DIY iRig and a preamp circuit to boost your guitar signal.

Check out my webpage http://www.diyaudiocircuits.com and send me suggestions about what you want to see!  I do all sorts of things with audio equipment, from guitar pedals to circuitbending to analog synthesizers.

Electrodroid is rather useful. Calculators for everything.

RTA analyzer is decent for some things. Not True RTA good, but OK for a phone app.

Appropriately titled Signal Generator is nice. Sine, white noise, and pink noise. Variable frequency and level.

Droid Tesla is a decent SPICE program. Not free though for the full version.
