Nice app. Lots of interesting and useful things in one place. Just not quite flexible enough. I work with GHz RF gear, and would like the antenna calculations to let me select the Hz units. Similarly, I work with STM32 chips, so being able to add pinouts for them would be nice. Ada fruit supports both customers and makes well, so while I might have returned it if it were from some other company as of marginal value for the cost, I'll keep it expecting them to improve it.

Useful electronics aid If you can never remember how to calculate the frequency of pulses for the 555 timer you want this app. Plus it has things you didn't know you needed like the wavelength to color display for LEDs

Mostly OK but the resistor divider calculator is infuriating! You can't reset or clear the values, so you delete one, and it autofills another, so you can't ever get to tput the values in, drives you mental, and most of the other calculators are the same, just a simple all clear opinion would be so helpful
