Good BASIC Interpreter

Amazing little app! It needs some ingenuity to load existing BASIC programs (using copy & paste) but seems to work fine. It has some useful additional functions and some examples of how to use them would be useful.

GPS location does not work

I am very disappointed that the GPS location function does not work. I was really looking forward to using it in my own program :(

Don’t believe the hype

GPS and location will not work. It’s pretty crippled by iOS
