• Learn programming with the best code recipes. • Kotlin: - How to get a substring? - How to declare a generalized method? - How to perform a database query? • SQL: - How to combine multiple tables in a single query? - How to sort the result of grouping data? - What types of data are there in SQL Server? • The best examples of code from books and specific internet resources are selected in the app. Finding the best solution on the internet can take hours of work. Ready-to-use and tested "recipes" for code are included in the app. • The app is a great tool for passing exams or preparing for interviews. It helps you study the typical tasks you might face. • One app for iOS and macOS. Buy once and use it on your phone, tablet, or computer. • Quick search of the correct example by code or name of topic. • All examples in the app are available offline. The app can be used when an internet connection is not available. • As a developer, I use this app when I need to quickly remember how to solve a given task in SQL or Kotlin. If you can help to translate the app into your language, please contact me by email. In the application, some examples are available for an additional fee (approximately 45%).

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Kotlin Recipes at every 3 months against Lua IDE Fresh Edition's every 8 months. Lua IDE Fresh Edition's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Lua IDE Fresh Edition sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Kotlin Recipes sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Lua IDE Fresh Edition holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 20 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of Lua IDE Fresh Edition's written reviews are positive against 100% of Kotlin Recipes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lua IDE Fresh Edition ships an update every 8 months, Kotlin Recipes every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
