### 2/5 — Better than some others

*2026-01-14*

Exceptionally crude and lacking.

### 3/5 — 行番号の仕様がめんどい

*2025-02-15*

おじさんは喜ぶかもだけど…いちいち行番号まで書かないといけないのめんど

### 5/5 — Awesome version.

*2024-05-12*

This version of BASIC is easy to use and within the confines of an old language dating back to 1964, has a nice easy to use interface.

I’m especially impressed by the Debug tool that gives all variable values and a trace function.

Kudos to the Developer, as they have produced a superb educational learning tool.

### 1/5 — Limited, and buggy!

*2024-03-30*

Very few functions(no and, or, xor), and doesn't run long before closing on its own.

### 3/5 — Sirius

*2024-03-28*

昔8bitPCで始めましたが、これは処理が速い。
コマンドは少ないけどツール作成中。

### 4/5 — Great BASIC programming tool

*2023-01-22*

Really love this app. I use it about every other day. I have programs in it I wrote quarter century ago. I am an engineer and I use printouts from it in my reports. Wrote programs to detect COVID-19, pregnancy, timber design, Schmidt hammer concrete analysis, construction calculation tools and even created a magic using this app. I can set out the most balanced looking handrail layout in the world, using a program I wrote back in 1997. Thank you MochaSoft. Add a decimal point to the input and I’ll give you 5 stars.

### 4/5 — I like it

*2023-01-11*

I managed to create a simple game. I would like to compile it into an executable, but haven’t found a way to do it. I did DL an app that purports to compile BASIC, but it complained about every command. I also had some problems with get caught in endless loops and having to delete and reinstall the app. Now I copy my files to another location before testing.

### 4/5 — Can’t break program

*2022-02-01*

Nice tool to learn basic.
However there is no way to break a program when there is a modal window to input a number.
You can only kill the application

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2021-09-15*

I’ve just written this and lost it. I may appear twice.

This is an excellent implementation of basic BASIC. I do know BASIC and wanted a simple way to write code on the iPad - it does this extremely well.

Something I’ve not been able to find (yet) are for/next loops.

Nor asc chr functions to usefully use the GETCHAR facility.

Maybe they are there and I haven’t found them yet.

Five out of five. Well done.

### 1/5 — It used to be good

*2021-08-16*

I hope you are reading this. Because there’s terrible glitch where whenever I make a new line it says “error. Writing to temp files failed.” And I have no idea what’s wrong.
