Pros and cons of C Reference app for iPhone and iPad

C Reference app good for

Comprehensive, Easy, Efficient >>> helping!!! Im always on it while Coding ... However, a "search" option would make this app even better and easier! Lets say in the next update!! Then it will deserve 5 stars!! JMD
Everything works as advertised. Id like to have search capability Thanks
Just what I needed! I witheld a star for lack of search feature, but everything else is fantastic!
This is a great app, but I would like it if you inclued info on directories. For example how to change the current working directory would be chdir(path), where path is the new directory location. Another cool thing to add would be data structues, but for a reference program it is pretty good.
Need to provide help on pointers to functions. Good app but needs to be expanded. Add search capability.
This app is a great quick reference for a c programmer using basic syntax and libraries. I use from time to time when I cant rember the syntax for specific functions. The price tag of .99$ is a great deal. Any good c programmer should have this app! A few suggestions to the developers of this app: make it more languages and make some for librarys of c and c++ like: Allegro, SDL, and OpenGL.

Some bad moments

Why did you make it iOS 5 only? I hope you did just forget to include older iOS versions as you updated it to iOS 5. I really like the app very well (apart from the icon :P) but now I cannot use it anymore :( Please make it iOS 3.x and 4.x compatible again. Then I will rate 5 Stars again :)
My very old request for additional documentation about values of last argument of fseek was ignored :(((
STILL no support for iOS 5 which is pathetic considering this is a pay app. Worthless until it is updated just crashes when trying to view any reference. DO NOT purchase until update
I might like it if it worked with IOS 5. Ken, Please fix your program.
