Other than that I have found it a very good program so please fix the problem. ### 4/5 — C Programming *2019-08-28* Works quite well! An easy way to learn C while waiting somewhere and using your phone to edit, compile and run a C program - maybe while waiting at Starbucks for your order. ### 1/5 — Scam *2017-02-04, version 9.4* Scam. Don't buy the compilations. ### 1/5 — Literally one compilation for free *2017-01-22* Uhh what? You have to pay $1.49 to compile more than once. There is literally no reason to advertise this as a free app. **Developer response:** You can try the application for free before spend money on it. That's only for your convenience! ### 1/5 — Pretends to be funny free but not *2016-09-26* To use, you have to buy credits... **Developer response:** Unfortunately, we can't offer free compilations with the application. ### 1/5 — Negative function *2016-09-23, version 9.4* Don't get this. It's not working even if u pay !! ### 1/5 — Review *2016-09-10, version 9.4* App looks like cool but it should be mentioned as paid version. We can compile only 1 program other than "examples programs" they have given. For free users I suggest you you that not to install this app. For paid users it's good. I'm a free user 😒 I didn't liked it!!! **Developer response:** Unfortunately, we can't offer free compilations with the application. ### 1/5 — Fine, but.... *2016-08-01, version 9.4* You have to pay for each time you compile - $0.99 for 100 compilations, and $2.99 for unlimited. It seems to work fine, but is a pretty gimmicky way for the developer to make money. Just go to a computer and use a free compiler and code with a real keyboard. ### 1/5 — Don't buy 😷 *2016-07-29, version 9.4* This app will waste your time. You have to purchase compilers ### 1/5 — Not good *2016-06-06* Only allows one compile before asking for money. Easy example library for beginners does not exist. Pass on this one. **Developer response:** Unfortunately, we can't offer free compilations with the application. ### 1/5 — Genuinely Awful *2016-04-15* You have to enter all program input before compilation, making the application essentially. Avoid. **Developer response:** But you can still use it for any programs that don't require real-time input. ### 1/5 — Give my money back! *2016-02-22, version 7.2* My programs don't run on this App, it seems support only stdlib.h and stdio.h library. ### 1/5 — Dont buy *2016-02-01* It was a waste of time and you have to buy the compilations **Developer response:** Unfortunately, we can't offer free compilations with the application. ### 1/5 — I'm a little disappointed to be honest *2015-09-01, version 7.2* First off this app can't read any input that is the command scanf() doesn't work, which means that for me it is useless. Also it doesn't let you do anything until you buy 100 compilations or unlimited, and trust me it is not worth the money you spend on it when you do. If they come up with an update that does I will gladly change my review but until then this is my honest opinion. Not worth it. **Developer response:** You have to enter all text input on the Input screen before run a program. ### 1/5 — Myg38 *2015-07-31, version 7.2* No input. No nothing ### 1/5 — Not free in the least. *2015-07-09* Straight from download, you have no "compilation" count. Compilation count is needed to run any program you make. And it tells you to buy "compilations" with real money. In other words, you can't compile anything unless you spend money right from the start. Great app. **Developer response:** Unfortunately, we can't offer free compilations with the application. ### 1/5 — WHY!!?? *2015-06-26* Why are all the outcomes to every code "Helo, world"?? FIX THIS ASAP ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2015-06-05* It's not free. **Developer response:** Unfortunately, we can't offer free compilations with the application. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — One compilation is not enough *2020-12-04* Looked promising. Compiled the code that initially came up and that was it. Not enough to check it out. Give me a sensible number of compilations to check or a time limit and I might come back to it, but one compilation and then buy me is a joke. ### 1/5 — Painful *2019-08-15* Painful to use ### 1/5 — Won’t take past 1 digit decimal *2019-08-06, version 12.0* I used this app previously a loved it. I even bought the unlimited compilations. Now it won’t allow a number with more than one decimal place. If I had know this previously I wouldn’t have bought unlimited compilations. Now I had to buy another app to do programming ... hope I don’t run into the same thing ### 1/5 — Make your compilations free. *2019-06-28, version 12.0* ... ### 1/5 — Dont get, has no useful function unless you buy stuff *2018-09-11* Garbage ### 1/5 — Not sure if it’s even good... *2018-07-21, version 11.1* I just downloaded the app, I made a simple “Hello World” program and apparently without even compiling it I ran out of compiles??!? I understand it’s a free app but it’s kind of bull s. ### 1/5 — Poor application *2018-05-15* I tried to compile my c program , i paid $4.49 for that but then also it was showing error in my program as my program was all good. Really bad experience and would recommend don’t use this application just wastage of money and if anyone have extra money can surely use this app ### 1/5 — Please Don’t Download *2018-02-05* Functions as simple as scanf do not work, and you won’t realize it until to pay to have compiling available. Save your money. ### 1/5 — No compilations at start *2017-10-04* Started off with no compilations at all, the only way I could actually utilise the app was if I purchased compilations. **Developer response:** Unfortunately, we can't offer free compilations. ### 1/5 — A joke. *2017-02-22* Does not take input. **Developer response:** The application supports text input & output! You have to enter all text input on the Input screen before program running. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super convenient way to learn *2017-03-12, version 9.4* I really enjoy testing out code and learning with this app. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2015-04-11, version 7.2* I am writing a compiler that targets many languages and this app is ideal for my purposes. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Simply perfect *2014-07-25* Very nice app, clean, yet sophisticated interface. An short help page would be great, but it is intuitive enough to quickly have fun coding away. Thanks Dmitry! ### 5/5 — Very useful program *2014-04-19, version 4.2* I've been using this program with "C Programming" by Mike McGrath. I've entered all exercises from the book and they run perfectly (even scanf--though you must input your responses ahead of time in the input area located at the bottom of the screen). I have also used other coding apps by Kovba and they all work the same, so I can concentrate on the language and not on how the app works. ### 5/5 — Help me *2014-01-07, version 4.2* Ok so im in the 8th grade and im currently learning C. And i wanted to know if anyone could possible help me if you could please write a review telling me. Thx ### 5/5 — Pleasantly surprised *2013-10-24, version 4.0* Considering that it costs $2.99, this compiler works rather well. I can work on my small programs anywhere, and as long as I have an Internet connection, I can compile and build. Nice C documentation so I can quickly look up a standard library call. There are definitely a few improvements that can easily be made. For example, you'll need to write "int i; for(i=0; ..." instead of "for(int i; ...". And it's not easy to cut and paste. But overall it's a steal. I wouldn't mind paying more for some enhancements. ### 5/5 — Brilliant App *2013-10-15* It is a brilliant app, soo helpful for my university projects & easy to use.,.. ### 5/5 — This app is good *2013-10-15, version 4.0* To tell the truth, I am an amateur. I started studying programming a few months ago. This app is a quite useful tool for me. Maybe I will see some disadvantages of it later but now I am completely satisfied. ### 5/5 — Like.) *2013-09-26, version 4.0* Actually, I am not very good at these things but my boyfriend is a programmer. He is deliriously happy to use this app for his purpose)) And I am glad that I downloaded it for him.) He said that this app is awesome) And I believe him because he is a professional. ### 5/5 — Interesting *2013-09-25, version 4.0* I'm not a big fan of programming, but this is sooo attractive app!
