## Review summary

PLC Ladder Simulator 2 is praised for its simplicity and effectiveness in teaching basic PLC programming and ladder diagram simulation. Users appreciate its friendly interface and utility for both educational and professional purposes. However, there are common issues with app stability, missing or unclear advanced features, and interface limitations like lack of phone rotation and tag editing difficulties. Despite some crashes and occasional confusing aspects, the app remains a valuable tool for students and those starting with PLC programming.

### Pros

- Very useful for learning basic PLC programming with a simple and easy to understand setup.
- User-friendly and neat interface, suitable for beginners and students.
- Allows simulation and testing of ladder diagrams on the go, helpful for both students and professionals.
- Provides educational value through guides and help files, facilitating self-learning.
- Good alternative to more expensive or complicated PLC programming tools, even useful for Arduino programming.

### Cons

- App sometimes crashes or hangs, causing usability issues for some users.
- Limited or no support for certain advanced features like set/reset variables or one-shot instructions.
- Issues with the app interface such as inability to rotate phone display and difficulties editing tags or inserting spaces in filenames.
- Some confusion and difficulty with certain features like analog inputs/outputs, and tag editing functionality.
- Limited or lacking support for real hardware integration and communication, such as with Arduino or relays.
