Leave a Review Hand BASIC
Back to basics
This is a fun application. Kind of like an antique car.Kitty cat 123456788
Works OK but awful keyboard
Very hard to type using the onscreen keyboard on an iPad. App works quite well.Vapor20
Maybe Commador 64 basic is different from what I need?
I've been learning programming for a while now, and with little success with Python and Lua and such, I decided to try BASIC. After all, it is the oldest programming program I can think of. So I went online and found a tutorial, and I tried to make the following command:
PRINT "Hello World!"
Delay 2000
BUT what keeps happening to me is I say the first line and hit the return key to go into the second line, but it'll automatically start the line, and terminate it. I don't know if it's my fault if I'm not doing something correctly, if it's a bug, or if a Commador 64 did that, but either way, I'm confused and found no support in the app support.Show lessIronmaidenjr
Nostalgia
Like a previous reviewer I time warped back to the 80s. Being a previous C64 owner this is a dream come true. Can remember most of the commands but managed to download a PDF manual to refresh the memory. Great stuff!!
I'd love to see a pc version of this app.Mickey1947
Great one of BASIC programming
Good with standard basic program except graphics. I paid for this app and upgrade with GRAPHIC, which are good worth.iLimPhone
Unusable: crucial "Run/Stop" button missing!
There is no way to break out of an executing program. So, whille his app has the potential of being extremely cool, it is virtually unusable.
Please fix this! How hard could it be to add "Run/Stop"?! Might as well add Function keys and CTRL, while you're at itAndrei-m-r
huh?

Great Basic app
Great Basic app to show the kids how it's done. Includes all the tools from way back when. Graphics component is well worth the upgrade.Great56463(36
Please add Bluetooth keyboard support!
That would make this much more interesting and useful.Vogarth
A walk down memory lane
This is a fully functional implementation of BASIC. I use it as a kind therapy or meditation. The pleasing logic of a well crafted program in a non-RAD programming environment is heaven sent.
It is like building a wooden table without using any power tools. The programer has to hand craft each routine. Modular programming becomes an art form...algorithms are created out of the most simple commands.
Now if someone would just write a dBase app!Show less2431253
