Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 菜鸟教程 at 3.1 against C Reference's 2.0. 菜鸟教程 also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). C Reference's advantage is review sentiment (55% vs 33%) and chart position (#197 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

菜鸟教程 holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 菜鸟教程 has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of C Reference's written reviews are positive against 33% of 菜鸟教程's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

C Reference ships an update every 24 months, 菜鸟教程 every 23 months. The most recent releases landed on August 30, 2026 and August 23, 2026 respectively.
