Tap Run and the real output appears right under the code, so you know it works before it goes into your project. No IDE, no setup, no account. 370+ short examples, one task each, with comments on the tricky parts. Over 90% run in the app with one tap. Names follow PEP 8, and the output shows every value. You know what you need, but not the exact syntax: • How do I drop duplicates from a list and keep the order? • How do I add a month to a date? • How do I pull a number out of a string with a regex? Each has a working example here. • 22 sections, including strings, dicts, classes, generators, match statements, exceptions, files, and design patterns. • What changed from Python 3.0 to 3.13, with before-and-after code: dict merging with | and |=, f"{x=}", asyncio.run, except*. • Keyword reference, 200+ entries: tap a word in the code to look it up. • 200+ SQL queries: JOIN, GROUP BY, subqueries, window functions; more than half run on a practice database. • Search looks inside the code: type defaultdict to find every example that uses it. • Edit an example and run your version, or write your own. • Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. • Everything except running code works offline. Free version: 320+ examples and queries, the full keyword reference, and 12 runs, 12 edits and up to 12 reference entries a day opened by tapping a word in the code (Python and SQL runs share one count). Full version: all examples and queries, unlimited edits and examples of your own, and up to 30 Python and 80 SQL runs a day. One-time purchase, no subscription. Built by a developer for developers. Maintained since 2015. WHAT'S NEW • Improved support for foldable phones and large screens.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Python Recipes at 4.7 against My Device Identifiers's 4.1. Python Recipes also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (83 vs 9). My Device Identifiers's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Python Recipes holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Python Recipes has 83 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Python Recipes's written reviews are positive against 85% of My Device Identifiers'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 monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
