Write C# code directly on your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch! This app is ideal for learning and testing code snippets! C# (pronounced C sharp) is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm programming language encompassing strong typing, lexically scoped, imperative, declarative, functional, generic, object-oriented (class-based), and component-oriented programming disciplines. It was developed around 2000 by Microsoft within its .NET initiative and later approved as a standard by Ecma (ECMA-334) and ISO (ISO/IEC 23270:2018). C# is one of the programming languages designed for the Common Language Infrastructure. Features: - Compile and run your program - View program output or detailed error - Custom keyboard for easy input of frequently used characters - Optimized for connecting with external physical/bluetooth keyboard - Advanced source code editor with syntax highlighting, bracket completion and line numbers - Open, save, import and share C# files. Limitations: - Internet connection is required for compilation - Maximum program running time is 20s - One file can be run at a time - Some file system, network and graphics functions may be limited - This is a batch compiler; interactive programs are not supported. For example, if your program provides an input prompt, enter the input in the Input tab prior to compilation.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: C/C++ Programming Compiler at every 3 weeks against C# Programming Compiler's every 6 weeks. C/C++ Programming Compiler also leads on ratings volume (116 vs 21). C# Programming Compiler's advantage is review sentiment (61% vs 50%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. C/C++ Programming Compiler sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and C# Programming Compiler sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

C/C++ Programming Compiler holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: C/C++ Programming Compiler has 116 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of C/C++ Programming Compiler's written reviews are positive against 61% of C# Programming Compiler's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

C/C++ Programming Compiler ships an update every 3 weeks, C# Programming Compiler every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and August 17, 2026 respectively.
