Better than some others

Exceptionally crude and lacking.

Awesome version.

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.

Limited, and buggy!

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

Great BASIC programming tool

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.

I like it

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.

Excellent

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.

It used to be good

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.

If you’re familiar with older Basic languages … :(

I’m still trying to find a low cost one, for my i-Pad Nd i-Phone.

I liked the idea and simplicity of this version immediately! Then, I tried entering some test code.

:(

- all ‘caps.’ are required for commands and variables
- the RND generator returns only, values between 0 to 99
- Remark is signified only, by REM or // (neither are easily convenient, compared to ‘ or #

I’m suspecting there’ll be other ‘This and ONLY This’ instances will be occurring.

Finding the above restrictions, so early and easily … one star. Sorry.

Great

Great reliable prototyping toll

Amazing!

This is the best basic programming app ever!

Best iPhone BASIC at the moment

I like that this supports graphics without complicated language, however to do more complex graphics and files, it would need custom arrays, rather than just one array space and it needs file writing such as insert append overwrite and write. Much could be done with it. Really good so far.
