Add a coil calculator
Radio circuits often mention how to create a coil. They forget to mention the resulting Henries.
It would be great if I could enter coil specifics in iCircuit like:- inner diameter of the coil
- wire diameter (in mm or AWG)
- number of turns
- coil length (spreading of turns)
- coil core (air or ferrite)
...and iCircuit would calculate and display the Henries this coil would result in.

Add AC motors.
Polyphase would be great, but plain old 120/240 VAC 1-phase motors would be a terrific start.
Even if it's a generic motor element that can edited to include standard AC motor characteristics.

Expatnd iCircuit with more components
Add more components by allowing chip manufacturers to submit their CAD base components with properties and functionality already set and ready to use. In return, the component manufacturers should be allowed to display their name and logo at the top or button of the component property window, which will serve as free exposure for the chip manufacturer. In order for this idea to work iCircuit will have to create a universal template that chip designers or manufacturers can use to insert their chip into the iCircuit app. This idea will be a win win for iCircuit, users of iCircuit, and…

N&P Enhancement vs. Depletion Type Mosfets
When placing a MOSFET on the board, it defaults to what appears to be a Depletion Type Mosfet. Is there a way to switch it to an N or P Enhancement Type?
Thanks

Allow user to define custom variables in subcircuits
At the moment the only way to influence a sub circuit is by its ports, as far as I can see. It would be useful if the user could flag certain component parameters as variables that could be adjusted from outside the 'black box'.
For example, I have two Wien Bridge oscillators that I want to output signals of different frequencies so that I can combine them into a composite signal. I set up the oscillator as a sub circuit with voltage In and Out ports, but at the moment they both have the same frequency because they are both…

Operational Transconductance Amplifier
How about an OTA simulation as per the CA3080 or LM13700. This would be handy for those trying to simulate voltage controlled circuitry.

OCR image of schematic layout auto create
I would love to be able to take a photo or image of a schematic and have icircuit auto recreate as much of it as possible, even the help of most of the layout but open components would be of great help.

to correct the function of relais, should be a difference in leading current depending whether it's open or closed...
see above, now no difference in relay-switches in simulating circuits

Import a background (so yo can edit a drawing by overwriting parts of it)
Import a background (pdf, jpeg, ....) You draw a blank 'square ' over the things you what to erase, and then draw what you want to change.

Export scope data from ios app for additional offline analysis
This would be useful for doing more analysis and is available in the Mac app. Output to csv and allow saving to dropbox, icloud, or email.

Support for external device inputs
Inputs such as the microphone or camera of the device running icircuit.
Possible future inputs from usb/bluetooth etc.14 votes -
Transformer with negative coupling coefficient, please.
In order to draw Flyback converters in a ordinary way, it is necessary that the polarity of the transformer windings is inverted. Mathematicaly this can be obtained with a negative coupling coefficient, that it is not included in the transformer model currently used.

Add options of BS 3939 Logic symbols
Though there is a switch for IEC symbol, but logic symbols are always DIN. For inputs more than 3, obviously BS 3939 or IEC symbols are better for layout and readability.

Please integrate vacuum tubes!!
I would love to see vacuum tubes integrated into this app. I build electric guitar amplifiers and if a guitar amp is of any quality then it has tubes in it. This would be a great tool for me when I am protoyping a new amp design. However I can't use it because it doesn't have tubes incorporated into it, Which are essential. Main tubes that are used are 6V6, 6L6, EL84 EL34, 12Ax7, 12AT7, 6550, ECC83, 5881, KT66, 5Y3

give the user the ability to upload his work onto a cloud server
Sometimes you change from devices and cant take the work you have done over to the next device. Therefore I think it well if there is support for both android and apple to upload to each other

Add a programmable unijunction transistor
Would be useful especially for doing the tutorial in the Make electronics book which several people have stumbled on - see eg http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/28864/how-to-build-a-2n6027-put/79570#79570
