Read full description

A reference of everyday C++, from strings and STL containers to templates, smart pointers and threads. Every example comes with an explanation, and most of them run. • 19 sections: simple types, arrays and collections, classes and structs, templates, functions and lambdas, operator overloading, exception handling, regular expressions, threading, files, algorithms, patterns. • Run in the app: the example really executes and the output appears under the code. Needs an internet connection. • What changed in new versions: 5 sections from C++11 to C++23, with "before" and "after" code side by side. • Keyword and function reference: 192 articles, fully open with no daily counter. • SQL alongside: over 200 queries against a live practice database - JOIN, GROUP BY, subqueries, data types. • Edit examples and add your own - they stay in the app and are always at hand. • Search runs over the code itself, not just the titles: remember a fragment and you will find the example. • Everything except running works offline. No account needed. WHAT THE FREE VERSION INCLUDES 12 runs and 12 edits a day - the counter resets every morning. The keyword reference is open without limits. Up to 5 examples of your own. Copying in the free app is blocked after five attempts. The full version opens every example, removes the daily limits and raises running to 30 launches a day. One purchase, no subscription. Made by a developer for developers. In development since 2015.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: C++ Recipes at 5.0 against C/C++ LLVM Clang's 4.3. C/C++ LLVM Clang's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 44%) and ratings volume (50 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. C/C++ LLVM Clang sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and C++ Recipes sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

C++ Recipes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: C/C++ LLVM Clang has 50 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of C/C++ LLVM Clang's written reviews are positive against 44% of C++ Recipes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

C/C++ LLVM Clang ships an update every 2 months, C++ Recipes every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
