Reviews of iAltairHD

Brilliant

A very comprehensive suite of programs, and very intuitive

Excellent tribute to computer history

Thank you so much for making this app—it’s so neat to be able to be actually using a simulated Altair, CPM, early Microsoft BASIC and MS-DOS—all parts of home computing history! I can now actually show my children what computing was like when I was a kid :-)

Faithful recreation - perfect for students

A must-have App for computer students and computer history buffs.

Faithfully recreates a number of models and operating systems along with common software used at the time. For me it was a nostalgic trip.

The interface was pretty intuitive. The only thing I would change is to add the ability to hide the UI when using an external keyboard, like the Apple Keyboard cover. That would give the App a true “full-screen” experience.
