Leave a Review Hand BASIC
  • So much fun!

    Can't believe how much code I remember from 35 years ago. A few minutes and a few lines to calculate prime numbers was great fun. I've bought the graphics update, but have only used it to run pre-loaded programmes. Excellent documentation is provided.
  • Good App!

    This app is an excellent brain teaser. The only complaint I have is that files are a little hard to access because you have to enter quotation marks and use the correct case.
  • Help

    I payed for the graphics extension but when i do "SCREEN 1" it pops up for a second and then disappears!!! Other then this the app is great.
  • Great App for nostalgia or for writing programs in Basic.

    Simply brilliant app, and highly recommended.
  • Excellent

    This is a very faithful and reliable implementation of Microsoft BASIC as supplied with the C64. The integration with the iOS environment is thoughtful and discreet, and the graphics extension adds tactful, early-'80s-BASIC-style ways of using the iPhone or iPad display (reading the touchscreen by PEEKing at a memory address is a joy). Of course, there are features that C64 BASIC doesn't have: you'll find yourself writing a lot of GOTOs and GOSUBs... But BASIC in the 1980s introduced more people to programming than any other language before or since; and this app is a good ambassador for it, full of little helpful touches that show the developer has taken care to get things right.

    20 PRINT " Just taught myself BASIC in two days"
  • Amazing app and Devs

    This app is amazing. Not only is it a perfect port of C64 Basic on the go, but the developers are incredibly helpful as well. I had a few questions and sent about five emails over the course of 2 days and I ALWAYS received a helpful response within a couple of hours.

    I love to use this, I am programming a help manual for my job, and a text adventure as well. I'm not familiar with the past of C64 and I don't know what Poke and Peek do, but I don't care, I don't seem to need them so it doesn't matter that they don't work. Also it kind of sounds perverted. Heh heh.

    Super amazing 5 star review (only 5 stars because there's not an option for a 6th star)

  • A Wonderful App

    Having BASIC from the classic C64 on my iPad and iPhone is just marvellous! It's really well implemented and a lot of fun to use. This is how I started using computers 30 years ago, and I've always had a soft spot for this dialect of BASIC. Works great. Thanks, Ahmed!
