Apple Pencil
Don’t know if this is a feature in iCircuit already, but, if not, A nice feature would be: Draw your circuits on iPad Pro with Apple Pencil. If you draw for example a resistor, iCircuit will recognize that and place a resistor where you draw it. Or a transistor, cap, led or any component. Like drawing schematics with a pen and a paper.

Add 12AX7, 12AT7, EL84, 6V6, 6L6, EL34 vacuum tubes
As a guitar amp designer, I bought this app as a way to prototype circuits without having to used an over-complicated program like Eagle. The common vacuum tube types (for starters) are 12AX7, 12AT7, EL84, 6V6, 6L6, and EL34. Unfortunately I don't see any options for even a generic tube which you could input operational values. If that is too complex of an undertaking, maybe just explicitly define the above tubes, after all, they are the most common tubes being used in amp design (and has been for decades). Hoping you can implement this!

iPad Apple Pencil/finger interaction
It would be great if iPad page panning could be set as solely reserved for the finger and wire drawing reserved solely for the Apple Pencil.
Apple Notes is a good example of separating both the finger and Apple Pencil as different tools for different operations, reducing the need for a dedicated drawing button.
This would be amazing for simultaneous drawing and panning, while also preventing accidental component/wire movement when finger panning (without the need to lock components).
Auto Dark Mode (depending on iPad system settings) would be an added bonus.
Thank you, love the app

Make component rotation easier
At the moment, you drag an edge, after clicking it, and it stretches it and just acts weirdly. It's not massively intuitive, compared to the normal "rotation handles" that you'd expect, that would rotate by 45degs, or even just a "rotate" button. Maybe even a keyboard shortcut, like "<" and ">"

Add non-realtime audio buffering
Currently the speaker output rarely works live due to lack of processor power. Maybe the audio could be buffered into memory or streamed into a wav/aiff/mp3 file or better yet, into audio clipboard (the free AudioCopy SDK by Retronyms has been a de-facto standard for years, but maybe regular iOS clipboard would suffice too)

Be able to open, enter and/or expand sub-circuits
Sometimes a sub-circuit doesn't behave as expected so it would be convent to be able to expand it (in place or in separate window (but using inputs from host circuit)).

Add microcontrollers such as pic atmega etc.
I would pay 50 bucks more for it :)

Create a delete for a selelected ítem or wire
It is very difficult to delete something some times and the undo button just delete in last secuence order making difficult to change some items or wires you did at the beginning of the circuit Construccion

Import/Export to spice
I think it would be very beneficial to be able to import/export schematics to/from spice so I can share schematics more easily with other circuit simulation software

please add CMOS 4000 LOGIC chips
it's too complex to gerenrate a subcircuit most of the chips !!!
40193
4040
....best would be to have them all !!!

Variable Capacitors and Common Op Amps
I think it would be cool to have a variable capacitor for tank circuits and an addition of some common Op amps like the Lm386, NE556 timer, Or an Lm358 etc. i enjoy the app but there seems that there could be so much more in the components department.

Add voltage comparators
I'd like to see depicted voltage comparators added rather than having to rely on op-amps. Something like the LM393 would be useful. It would allow the modelling of class D amplifiers and other analogue PWM-based systems.

RGB Led
Can you add an RGB LED so I can put a whole bunch in a circuit without black-boxing it?

I am working on analog music devices where I would like to have an audio source that plays a recording.
If I can have a number of audio sources that play a recording, I can play with the mixer design and actually hear the results.

Add touch interface elements to library
For example add buttons and sliders that show on screen and can be used to effect change in a circuit. Sliders can vary the voltage output or frequency of a source, buttons can be used to toggle things like switches, etc.
This could allow for some really cool circuits and would provide an analogue to real world push buttons and sliders/rotary dials.
The only issue I see with this would be determining whether the user is try to push the button or select it, perhaps make them so that they can only be selected by selection box?

Signal when too much power is used
All of the components will accept an infinite range of voltage and current. The app should watch for extreme values and display those problems.
