A few bugs
The INPUT command doesn’t display a text prompt:
e.g. INPUT “Enter your name”,a$
This just displays the question mark “?” With no text.
When you do enter something it then asks a second time.
The app could also use some commands to access screen taps and other gestures.

Thank you for the details. Both bugs are fixed in version 2.00: INPUT "Enter your name";A$ shows the prompt and asks once. For touch, 2.00 adds a key bar above the keyboard with Esc, the arrow keys, Space, Return and F1–F10; programs read them with INKEY$, and that is how the sample games are played.
Too many items broken.
Response from developer
Thank you, and sorry about the support link: the old support address no longer works, and we are replacing it in the app's listing. You can reach us at support@neronov.net, and the site is now https://neronov.net. Version 2.00 is a new MCX Basic: the interpreter was rewritten from scratch and is fast enough for real-time games such as Snake, Bricks and Lander, which come with the app. We'd be glad if you gave it another try.
Complet simple mais lent, très lent.
Response from developer
Merci pour votre avis. La version 2.00 est un nouveau MCX Basic : l'interpréteur a été entièrement réécrit et il est maintenant assez rapide pour des jeux en temps réel, comme Snake, Bricks ou Lander, fournis avec l'application. Nous serions heureux que vous lui donniez une nouvelle chance.
Needs work

...and similar nonsense. I am new to Apple. I only bought this because I didn’t see the other review. Was it visible before I purchased it?
Response from developer
Sorry for the trouble. In version 2.00, with its new interpreter, 10 PRINT "What is your name?" prints exactly What is your name?, spaces included. The app now also has a help page for every command and 45 sample programs to start from.
