Has anyone else found the Resource Guide: Best Apps for Gear Calculations and Design incredibly helpful? I was struggling to find a convenient way to quickly calculate gear ratios and check for interference on my phone when designing small robotics projects. Some of the apps mentioned, like the involute gear builder and the gear train calculator, have been absolute game-changers for prototyping on the go.
I'm curious,what are everyone's experiences with the apps listed? Are there any specific apps that stand out as being notably accurate or easy to use? Conversely,have you encountered any apps that seemed buggy or provided questionable results? I'm especially interested in hearing about experiences on different mobile OS's - I'm on Android but wondering if the iOS options are significantly better or worse. Also, are there any apps not included in the guide that you think deserve to be there? I've heard whispers of some good finite element analysis apps, but haven't had the chance to dive into any.
