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.
SchemaHD
This app allows users to draw circuit diagrams for logic circuits, generating Verilog HDL and performing simulations. It simplifies FPGA development by using schematics instead of complex programming languages, offering advanced security and high-performance parallel processing.
- Draw logic circuit diagrams
- Generate Verilog HDL
- Perform circuit simulations
- Touch-based wiring
- AXI bus interface support
- JSON import/export
- Offline network operation

FPGAs can dynamically generate logic circuits by means of configuration bit streams generated by languages such as Verilog and VHDL. The generated logic circuit cannot be changed by communication data. Therefore, it is very safe and cannot be attacked by hacking, which is a problem with CPUs, to execute arbitrary commands. In addition, the generated logic circuits are all running simultaneously, so the highest performance parallel processing is being performed. It can also generate logic circuits using configuration bitstreams at very high speed. Most of the processing that can be done by the CPU can be done by the FPGA alone. With advanced security and the highest performace, FPGAs are the perfect device for the modern age. However, it takes a lot of effort to learn languages such as Verilog and VHDL. There are other methods such as high-level synthesis from C/C++, but they require a lot of adjustments such as #pragma, and do not maximize the capabilities of the FPGA. Schematics, not programming languages, are needed to maximize the capabilities of FPGAs and to further improve developer productivity. Schematics allow you to grasp the whole picture at a glance, and can perfectly represent parallel processing. SchemaHD is to draw a circuit diagram of a logic circuit, and it's possible to do generation of Verilog HDL and a simulation. A made circuit diagram can be used by a different circuit diagram immediately. You can also install wiring easily by touch operation. A concept of interface is adopted as a terminal, so something structured of a AXI bus can also be used. A terminal it's also possible to distinguish sound argument reason, negative logic and characteristic wiring of a clock and a reset by interface, and which is different in interface, they don't seem able to connect, it is. You can input and output as a JSON file, so the made circuit diagram and interface are also capable of cooperation with other application. Verilog HDL generated from a circuit diagram contains a comment of a terminal name and an instance name, so it's capable of the correspondence which is at the time of problem occurrence. A network connection isn't needed, so it's also effective in information leak prevention. A simple simulation is offered in the present, but it's expected to enhance it early.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: C++ Recipes at 5.0 against SchemaHD's 3.0. C++ Recipes also leads on device support (3 vs 1). SchemaHD's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. C++ Recipes sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and SchemaHD sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
C++ Recipes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of C++ Recipes's written reviews are positive against 50% of SchemaHD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
C++ Recipes ships an update every 4 months, SchemaHD every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
