  • Don't waste your time

    I have tried for many days to get any command working but everything returns as a syntax error, DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS APP
  • Great program

    Would leave to have a print at function. This would make programs neater
  • Amazing app

    As my C64 broke this app is amazing
    It would be cool to have the new files app integration
  • Brings back old memories

    This app is the closest thing to owning the Commodore 64 that I’ve seen. My first computer was a Commodore 64 and I loved programming it! Thank you for dev this app
  • This is awesome

    Some of the old engineering books I'm reading online have their code in BASIC and this app is perfect to help me work through them.
  • I'm actually using this as a tool!

    I'm enjoying the stew out of this app. I've been wanting to use some of my small programs on the iPhone for some time, without going into full-fledged app development. This does the trick!

    As a child of the 70s, I'm very familiar with this style of BASIC. I wrote tons of stuff (I wish I still had) on a TRS-80 COCO. Rewriting my small projects for this app is a piece of cake. I can now take my small programs with me.

    That, and it's a fun trip down memory lane. I'm enjoying the opportunity to use the evil GOTO again, after an almost 30 year hiatus. Writing in an unstructured environment like this feels strangely liberating!

    Thank you for making this app available.

  • The C64 REBORN...in YOUR pocket!

    This app is PERFECT for an "über-geek" just like ME, who wants "something to hack around with", JUST LIKE OLD TIMES, when not only the C64 was popular (and STILL is!), but also numerous brands of the old calculator-sized programmable pocket computers, as well. Well done...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!! ;-)

  • Great APP works exactly how it should

    This APP is FANTASTIC. If you have a love for the Commodore 64, or just want a simple scripting language on the iOS, this is the greatest. Also the Person who complained about the graphic add on just didn't know how to use it. if you type SCREEN 1, then add another line like SLEEP 2000 it will say up for a few seconds. Change the number to make it say up as long as you want. Some people need to read the manul.

  • Great for coding learning

    Great for my 8y old to learn coding. Just as I did at that age on fools old C64...
  • Deeply Retro

    This little app replaces about a thousand dollars worth of brownish/beige-coloured computer equipment from the mid-1980s. You won't need a Commodore 64 computer. You won't need a 1702 colour monitor. You won't even need a 1541 disk drive. Just open this little app and you will be in the blue-backgrounded nirvana that is Commodore BASIC. As a bonus, LOAD and SAVE commands work, and wow, they are so much faster than the 1541 floppy equivalent.
