Read full description

An everyday Python reference, from strings and collections to threading and design patterns. Every example comes with an explanation, and most of them run. The construct is on the tip of your tongue, but the exact syntax slips away: • How do you sort a dictionary by value? • How do you serialize a class to JSON and read it back? • How do you start a thread and wait for the result? The app answers with a working example; all that is left is to fit it to your task. • 22 sections: basic types, arrays and collections, classes, files, serialization, functions and lambdas, exceptions, regular expressions, threading, databases, algorithms, design patterns. • Run in the app: the example actually runs and the output appears under the code. Needs an internet connection. • What changed in new versions: 8 sections from Python 3.0 to 3.13, with the old and the new code side by side. • Keyword and function reference: over 200 articles, open in full, with no daily limit. • 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 looks inside 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. The full version unlocks every example, lifts the daily limits and raises the run limit to 30 a day. One purchase, no subscription. Built by a developer for developers. In active development since 2015.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Python Recipes at 4.7 against Python3 IDE Fresh Edition's 4.5. Python3 IDE Fresh Edition's advantage is chart position (#188 vs unranked) and ratings volume (426 vs 83). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Python Recipes sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Python3 IDE Fresh Edition 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

Python Recipes holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Python3 IDE Fresh Edition has 426 ratings behind it against 83, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Python Recipes's written reviews are positive against 88% of Python3 IDE Fresh Edition's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
