So if you are prepared to risk it, this app is for you, but if you want to properly test it out with 100 test runs (like in a Python IDE I downloaded once), I do not recommend this app. My top tip is do NOT try out that default code to use up your one compilation - start coding immediately or use another app. ### 3/5 — Nope *2019-11-14, version 13.0* Good as a c++ compiler But i cant inter information in my console space when the program compeletly run ### 4/5 — Add interactive Input *2018-06-01* Please add interactive inputs. There is no way(that I can discover) of having more than one variable input. Otherwise, great app. ### 4/5 — Great *2017-10-29* You only get 1 script compilation for free but if you like C++ enough, buy it like $3-4 and you get unlimited compilations ### 2/5 — Please remove the input *2017-09-28* It is better to have no input but still be able to compile the code but in other ways it is good but the input is ruining my day as well as you have to pay to make a app with it can you make it free please **Developer response:** What exactly do you mean? Please contact support and explain your suggestion. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect if you pay *2017-08-22, version 9.4* This app is really great! It's fast and simple. The editor is as user friendly as possible given the screen size. However, you must pay. It's not free. $3 well spent though. Also, you must compile online (which I don't mind). Would be five stars except: - no command line arguments - no compiler flags - can't time program ### 4/5 — Read... *2016-08-07, version 9.4* They do trick you and make you pay for it. But once you do it's great. Doesn't allow inputs though. ### 3/5 — Wish it was actually free *2016-07-25, version 9.4* Though this app is quite useful, I wish it was free. You are given a single compilation complimentary and when you buy the app you think it is free and quite useful. But you need to buy more compilations. Waste of my time when I can just do it easier on my computer. Also the keyboard should be modified to include brackets and semicolons. Maybe even a cout button? ### 1/5 — Avoid *2016-04-15* You have to enter all program input before the file is even compiled. Is that some kind of joke? Absolutely useless, you’d be better off spending time writing you’re own compiler to use. **Developer response:** It's not a big problem if real-time input isn't really required for your program. ### 1/5 — Lame *2015-07-21* Don't waste your time. Useless app and all money maker. **Developer response:** Unfortunately, we can't offer free compilations with the application. ### 1/5 — Useless on iPad *2015-07-07* So I bought this to give it a go, as I am learning to code, first off, I've used it twice in the 2 months I've had it, you can save your code but you can not test it on mobile devices. I was hoping that it would have some sort of emulator to at least run the code through and tell you whether it works or not, but that's not the case. Unless you are an experienced coder and do not need to run the code because you know it works, this is not for you. It's a cool idea, but again, without a way to run it, even just to test and verify it is error free, this app is pointless to someone who is just starting out. The only thing you can code and actually run is the basic "hello world" **Developer response:** Try to start from modifying of the sample program. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2015-04-28* 1 free compile it's a waste of time **Developer response:** Unfortunately, we can't offer free compilations with the application. ### 1/5 — Lying app. Do not download. *2015-04-01* You have to pay to compile your code. They make the app free to trick people into downloading the app in the first place. Don't support lying developers like these. **Developer response:** You can try application before buy it. That's all for your convenience! ### 1/5 — The worst app for ever *2015-02-20, version 7.0* It just make the people to buy it. why i should buy a program that the windows version of it is free. shame, it waste my time you should buy the compilations. without that you should take it to hell. Shame that one star is very much for this app! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of money and time *2023-02-23* Seriously, it’s free and we need to pay money to compile our programs? And even then it just spams the same error code over and over, anything more complex then the print command just errors, all of his apps do this and he’s just doing it for money. ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-01-25* To compile 0.99€ (once time) It’s so absurd, “free software foundation”, no free credits for trial...no, no,pay us first .. It’s more interesting; Watch ad to get 1 credit, rate us for 3 credits or summat like. ### 1/5 — use A-shell *2023-01-22* this is scam use A-shell instead it’s free and can use python, c, c++ ### 1/5 — Can’t restore in app purchase *2021-12-01, version 13.0* Can you please fix this? The “restore unlimited” button just doesn’t show anything when I press it… ### 1/5 — No Save?!? *2017-10-24, version 9.4* This app, like many others for C++ don’t allow saving your work. This is a pay to play app but that is no real issue, however, I don’t want to pay for something that is only a toy. I need a professional solution that allows me to develop for my clients, learning or whatever and save my work. I’d gladly pay $20 for a program that was actually a professional solution. Plus, only one instance of running a program before I’m forced to pay for it. At least 5 would be something decent, or a warning that when you run the “Hello World” program to see the functionality, it will be the last one you are allowed before you have to shell out the bucks. How can someone possibly test it properly to determine its usefulness prior to purchase? I feel like the developer is saying “F-you, give me your money. What, it doesn’t work for you? Too bad. You should have thought about that before you gave me your money.” **Developer response:** Tha application saves the program automatically - you don't need to do anything for that. Please contact support and described your problem in details if you have any issues with that. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time *2017-04-17* One compile to evaluate is simply too few, so don't waste your time with this ap **Developer response:** Unfortunately, we can't offer free compilations with the application. ### 1/5 — Rip off! Free app, but no free features. *2017-01-30* You have to pay to compile. No way, rip off. **Developer response:** Unfortunately, we can't offer free compilations with the application. ### 1/5 — Really?! *2016-10-12* You only get one compile for free. That's such a bad system. At least let people watch ads to get more. **Developer response:** Unfortunately, we can't offer free compilations with the application. ### 1/5 — You have to pay *2016-10-11* You got one chance and do not blow it **Developer response:** Unfortunately, we can't offer free compilations with the application. ### 1/5 — Money grabbing. Might aswell call you EA *2016-08-16* You should not have to pay for compilations, especially when proper java IDEs and compilers are free, absolute d*** move, will not be downloading anything else from this developer because of this. **Developer response:** Unfortunately, we can't offer free compilations with the application. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing app for beginners. *2018-07-05* This app is good.Once you buy the unlimited option offcourse. ### 5/5 — Excellent Tool *2015-10-10* This gives me the ability to code whilst I'm stuck on my commute. Excellent functionality ### 5/5 — Great *2015-05-17, version 7.5* This app has helped me learn and practice C++. However, it may improved a little to be as well as PC or laptop C++ compilers. ### 5/5 — Great as a paid app *2015-03-09, version 7.0* It's not free. Just buy the unlimited compilations and you will love this. Works well, and fast enough given the platform. I haven't don't anything to fancy, so I can't rate its extended functionality. But for basics and for portability it's great. ### 5/5 — Just the idea is worthy of 5 stars *2015-02-18, version 7.0* I'm not buying because honestly know I won't use it but I can definitely can see the value in it. Nice job. ### 5/5 — Great app!!! *2015-01-09, version 7.0* I truly love this app. I had to take a c++ course and this was extremely helpful. I recommend this approach anyone. I haven't had any problems with this app. I would like to be able to input information on the out put screen for questions like a game but I love this app. ### 5/5 — Update? *2014-12-07, version 7.0* Hi I was just wondering if there would ever be a update you do input after the program has ran. You know so you make like a game. But that is my only complaint the rest of the app is great ### 5/5 — Great! *2013-12-25, version 4.3* Perfect for coding on the go or just when you are bored! This app should be more recognized! ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-11-07, version 4.2* For all the haters rating, you actually have to spend time learning the language, and then it will be fun. It must've been really hard for him/her/them to write the entire engine. By the way, buying unlimited compilations isn't gonna kill you. Keep up the good work developer(s)! ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2013-09-26, version 3.7* I use this app at my job more often than computer now. Respect to developers for such an useful and great app!
