### 3/5 — Ios5?

*2011-10-20*

Not compatible with ios5? The app crashes when u try to open subdirectory

### 3/5 — Search capability

*2011-09-22*

Good for the price. Must have search capability.

### 4/5 — Pointer to functions

*2010-02-21*

Need to provide help on pointers to functions. Good app but needs to be expanded. Add search capability.

### 4/5 — Missing some imprtant things

*2010-02-09*

This is a great app, but I would like it if you inclued info on directories. For example how to change the current working directory would be chdir(path), where path is the new directory location. Another cool thing to add would be data structues, but for a reference program it is pretty good.

### 4/5 — Perfect

*2009-12-20*

Just what I needed! I witheld a star for lack of search feature, but everything else is fantastic!

### 3/5 — Useful C Helper

*2009-08-12, version 0*

Good collection of methods and examples.

### 4/5 — Handy at work.

*2009-08-02*

This app can only get better. It saves having to carry a book around.

### 4/5 — Have been waiting for this...

*2009-06-25*

Not a bad attempt. Needs a search, in descriptions or function names optionally, but catergorisation is pretty good as it is. 

I look forward to the updates!

### 4/5 — Good app

*2009-06-15*

Everything works as advertised.
I'd like to have search capability
Thanks

### 1/5 — BROKEN!

*2011-11-08*

I might like it if it worked with IOS 5. Ken, Please fix your program.

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2011-10-28*

Always crashes in iOS 5. Unusable.

### 1/5 — NO Support

*2011-10-25*

STILL no support for iOS 5 which is pathetic considering this is a pay app. Worthless until it is updated just crashes when trying to view any reference. DO NOT purchase until update

### 1/5 — Broken on ios5

*2011-10-22*

Waste of money for now

### 1/5 — Crashes all the time

*2011-10-20, version 0*

iOS 5 - doesn't work at all
Want my 1$ back ;)

### 1/5 — Crashes on ios5

*2011-10-07*

Please fix

### 2/5 — Too basic, not enough shown per function

*2024-07-15*

This isnt nearly complete. So many functions in C have specifics that are not covered here. Things like fseek() not having seek_cur or seek_end means this isnt a very usable source. Feels like a half cocked student project.

### 2/5 — iOS5 is having none of it

*2011-10-28*

Crashes as soon as you work through the sub menus to whatever you wanna look up. Please sort this, it was once so handy

### 2/5 — Superficial and No update in months!

*2010-05-07*

My very old request for additional documentation about values of last argument of fseek was ignored :(((

### 3/5 — Nice app for reference

*2013-11-16*

The icon is horrible on iPhone 5s I'd like to see this fixed I would not have paid for this had I known is was so bad!

### 5/5 — A rare find

*2016-10-28*

Very, very rarely do I take the time to review an app. 

This one is worth it.

It is concise, accessible and with just the right level of detail as a reference/introduction to concepts.

I will be using this regularly whilst completing my CS course.

Thank you. Truely.

### 5/5 — Great App!!!

### 5/5 — FIXED!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2011-10-19*

Hey Dev any chance for a retina display icon? It be much appreciated thanks :)

Edit: Not working with iOS5! Crashes

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2011-10-08*

This came in handy.

### 5/5 — Great programming resource

*2010-05-10*

This app is a great quick reference for a c programmer using basic syntax and libraries. I use from time to time when I can't rember the syntax for specific functions. The price tag of .99$ is a great deal. Any good c programmer should have this app!

A few suggestions to the developers of this app: make it more languages and make some for librarys of c and c++ like: Allegro, SDL, and OpenGL.

### 5/5 — Nice apps

*2009-09-26*

Very good app very simple to use and striaigth foward

### 4/5 — Good

*2011-12-20*

Good reference with examples . Fully working

### 4/5 — Very Good

*2010-09-13*

I really like this application... I'm currently learning C and it's proving to be a very useful tool for reference; as previously said in other posts it really does need a search facility.
Looking forward to further updates
