Physics Toolbox Tone Generator vs C/C++ Programming Compiler
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Physics Toolbox Tone Generator
Generate continuous tones with adjustable frequency and amplitude. Modify wave shapes like sine, square, triangle, and sawtooth. Useful for science education experiments and demonstrating sound wave principles.
- Continuous tone generation
- Adjustable frequency (0-20,000 Hz)
- Adjustable amplitude (volume)
- Multiple wave shapes (sine, square, triangle, sawtooth)
- Educational applications for sound science
- Demonstrate inverse-square law

This tone generator app produces a continuous tone. The user can modify both the frequency (~pitch) (0 - 20,000 Hz) and the amplitude (~volume) of the sound wave. The wave shape can also be modified as sin, square, triangle, and saw-tooth. This app can be used in science education in conjunction with a sound meter to determine the inverse-square law for sound intensity, or with another tone generator to produce audible beats (by combining two tones of slight different frequencies).

Write C/C++ code directly on your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch! This app supports the latest C/C++ compilers and is ideal for learning and testing code snippets! C++ is a general-purpose programming language created by Bjarne Stroustrup as an extension of the C programming language, or "C with Classes". The language has expanded significantly over time, and modern C++ has object-oriented, generic, and functional features in addition to facilities for low-level memory manipulation. Features: - Compile and run your program - View program output or detailed error - Choose between C++ compiler standards (ISO/IEC 14882) namely: C++98, C++03, C++11, C++14, C++17, C++20, C++23 - Multithreading support - Custom keyboard for easy input of frequently used characters - Optimized for connecting with external physical/bluetooth keyboard - Advanced source code editor with syntax highlighting, bracket completion and line numbers - Open, save, import and share C/C++ files. Supports File Sharing with iTunes Connect, AirDrop and iCloud. - Language reference Limitations: - Internet connection is required for compilation - Maximum program running time is 20s - One file can be run at a time - Some file system, network and graphics functions may be limited - This is a batch compiler; interactive programs are not supported. For example, if your program provides an input prompt, enter the input in the Input tab prior to compilation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Physics Toolbox Tone Generator at none against C/C++ Programming Compiler's 1. Physics Toolbox Tone Generator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (3.7 vs 3.3). C/C++ Programming Compiler's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (116 vs 3). On price and device support 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. C/C++ Programming Compiler sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Physics Toolbox Tone Generator asks for nothing beyond the download.
Physics Toolbox Tone Generator holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: C/C++ Programming Compiler has 116 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Physics Toolbox Tone Generator's written reviews are positive against 50% of C/C++ Programming Compiler's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Physics Toolbox Tone Generator ships an update every 5 months, C/C++ Programming Compiler every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 7, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
