C Programming Language app review: write and compile with this invaluable development app

Introduction

C Programming Language by Dimitry Kovba enables you to design and compile your own programs and protocols using the globally recognized C programming language. It offers easy text input and output and a range of useful tools and features to help you piece your work together in a quick and convenient manner. It was updated July 10, 2013.

User Experience

This is a highly specialized app which is, of course, designed with developers and programmers in mind; you will definitely need a technical background in order to use this app effectively. If you do possess the experience, you’ll find the layout to be very intuitive and easy to use, and the functionality to be more than adequate for your compiling needs.

Features

With this app you will benefit from text input before running your program and text output. You can easily compile and run your programs with a user-friendly interface and clearly laid out set of tools for editing your code.

C Programming Language comes complete with a selection of sample programs in order for you to get to grips with the app and its features, and you will also have access to an online language reference in case you get stuck at any point.

This app is fully equipped with a powerful source code editor featuring syntax highlighting, color themes, additional keyboard, search and replace, and many other useful features.
 

In-App Purchases

You can purchase 100 additional compilations for $0.99 or benefit from unlimited compilations for $1.99, all available via in-app purchase.
 

Update Info

C Programming Language is currently running on Version 3.5.

The latest update included the edition of an enhanced source code editor featuring syntax highlighting, auto indent, search and replace, line numbers, color themes, additional keyboard, and undo history. The update also included the addition of iPhone 5 and iPad mini support.
 

Customer Ratings and Feedback Comments

The current version of C Programming Language has not yet received enough customer ratings to generate an average score; however, all versions have so far received a total of 12 customer ratings with an average rating of 2.5 out of five stars.

Customer feedback has generally been very poor, with one user remarking that as soon as you install and start up the app for the first time, a message is displayed stating that you have no compiles available and must pay for more via in-app purchase.

Personal Comments by Reviewer

Considering I’m not a programmer, this app is somewhat wasted on me; however, I can definitely appreciate what a valuable resource it would be to developers.

If you want to compile and test your code on the go, C Programming Language provides you with a fast and easy way to edit your scripts on your mobile device without having to dig out your laptop or jump on the desktop computer.
