### 1/5 — Ads, barely functional

*2021-10-03, version 2.0.3*

Paid app with ads. App barely works on my new iPhone

### 1/5 — Initial Impression

*2020-05-11, version 1.7.1*

I looked at some of the examples.  It’s ok; however, the most glaring problem with the language is that it seems like it would be pretty difficult to maintain what you’ve written.  The goto/gosub instruction references entry points by editor assigned  line numbers.  If you insert any new lines to your code it becomes necessary to manually update every goto/gosub line number in the code below.

This could be fixed if the author changed the interpreter to use entry point labels at program preference points.  Example:

Label_Name:
   Some code to run
Return

Then jump to the subroutine with 
Gosub(Label_Name)

It’s a bit slow but ok, other than that.

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work - iPad 2

*2014-04-05, version 1.5*

Don't waste your time. Doesn't work. Paid, yet there are ads?!?! Total rip off.

### 1/5 — Bad AppStore etiquette

*2013-10-30, version 1.3*

I pay for the App and still get advertisements!
