Amazing documentation
The program is just a bonus. The documentation is so interesting and complete, I forgot that the emulator is here waiting for me as a program of its own.
Compatible with Apple Watch! I have a KIM emulator on my watch! Seriously, been showing it to everyone. Don’t know how to program it yet, but wow, it’s pretty complete.

Love this!
Great to learn 6502 assembly! Wish I had a kim1.
The best gets better!
I really enjoy this app to learn on go assembly. No computer while on vacation… hhuumm I cheat a little bit using this app… please don’t tell my wife. Great works. Really worth the tips
Please add more support for Dynamic Type
The lessons are awesome (and use Dynamic Type). The KIM-1 Keyboard explanation view cannot be scrolled and its button at the bottom edge cannot be pressed. iPhone gets really hot in this mode.
The Past Is Our Future
What a wonderful way for new generations to discover the joy (not to mention the fun) of understanding, controlling and making meaningful one of the most fundamental tools influencing our lives. The days of the 6502/6510 are coming back full circle! Get behind the veils of the microcontroller world and hit the hot metal running.

Works on Mac
This simulator appears to work great on my M3 MacBook Air. Nice emulator!

Wirklich sehr schön. Ein offener Wunsch: Apple ii ab call -151. 🙂
Also Monitor, Miniassembler und Debugger sowie den Hilfsroutinen des ROMs für Assemblerprogrammierung.

Great app
I want to start by thanking John Kennedy for making this app, he put probably countless hours into making an educational tool. Not only that but he made it completely free so thank you! The app is a great representation of some old computers and it really gives you a sense of what it would be like to use them back when they came out. My only gripe is on my 14 pro it does seem to heat up my phone a bit on the kim simulator, I haven’t tried any other modes. Regardless I absolutely love the app and again thank you John!

A Brilliant Tribute to Chuck Peddle, Jim Butterfield, and Steve Wozniak!
I absolutely love this app. The description is hilarious and the manual (Readme.txt) is a fun read and a fantastic asset. As an “80’s kid” whose first 6502 experience was the Atari 2600, it was really fun to learn to use the legendary KIM-1. Lunar Lander is a blast on the keypad UI!
The only issue I encountered was with the terminal interface. While the vintage-style keyboard layout looks awesome, I found it difficult to use for any nontrivial typing. I also wished for system keyboard features and support for landscape mode. Perhaps this is as it should be, as I find it equally difficult to type on vintage keyboards from the '70s and '80s.
In any case, I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth, as this app is packed with a ton of great retro-computing functionality for ZERO COST. As a developer myself, I know the dedication and labor it takes to produce an app like this—I developed WOZNIAC-1 to address the issues I had with the VK terminal UI, and that has taken as much effort as my previous full-time job. Many thanks to John for putting in the effort to create this!

Wow this is great!
I’ve had this around for a very long time, but I must have seen something about the Kim and revisited this app - wow, this is awesome!
You can revisit the glory days and actually program and run this to see what it was like to be on a computer back then.
I can only imagine how crazy it must have been to play lunar lander in the 1970s…very awesome!

Amazing
In the Age of Ancients the world was unformed, shrouded by fog. A land of gray crags, Archtrees and Everlasting Dragons. But then there was Fire. And with fire came disparity. Heat and cold, life and death, and of course, light and dark. Then from the dark, They came, and found the Souls of Lords within the flame. Nito, the First of the Dead, The Witch of Izalith and her Daughters of Chaos, Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight, and his faithful knights. And the Furtive Pygmy, so easily forgotten.
With the strength of Lords, they challenged the Dragons. Gwyn's mighty bolts peeled apart their stone scales. The Witches weaved great firestorms. Nito unleashed a miasma of death and disease. And Seath the Scaleless betrayed his own, and the Dragons were no more.
Thus began the Age of Fire. But soon the flames will fade and only Dark will remain. Even now there are only embers, and man sees not light, but only endless nights. And amongst the living are seen, carriers of the accursed Darksign.
Yes, indeed. The Darksign brands the Undead. And in this land, the Undead are corralled and led to the north, where they are locked away, to await the end of the world... This is your fate.
Only, in the ancient legends it is stated, that one day an undead shall be chosen to leave the undead asylum, in pilgrimage, to the land of ancient lords, Lordran.

Quite broken on iPad
Most of the buttons like Files/Rest just don't work on iPad.
Also, assembly source editor would definitely benefit from syntax highlighting.

Amazing retro computing for iOS
This takes me back to my first 6502. Obviously crafted with much passion and nostalgia for the early home computing era. Thanks John!
Qwerty keyboard too wide on iPhone.
Great app, but the QWERTY keyboard is too wide to fit on my iPhone XR in the KIM-1 and Apple-1 emulators which makes it unusable.
Diese App sollte Pflicht beim Informatik Studium werden
Wer wissen möchte, wie ein Computer _wirklich_ funktioniert sollte mit dieser App Assembler Programmierung lernen. Die App ist leicht zu bedienen und bietet 4 Modi an.
Hammer Design-Update!!!
Danke für das neue Outfit!
Great app but some bugs…
Is the developer accepting bug reports? If so, how?
A nice little program!
Do your programming as if it were 1975. This little app offers you the functionality of a single-board 6502 machine, the Kim-1; either directly via the hexadecimal keyboard and 6 digit led display or via a terminal emulation. It also offers a very barebone emulation of the Apple I and software for all modes.
The software has mainly historical interest and the app is probably mainly interesting for people who would like to understand the old microprocessors of that time.
One feature of the Kim-1 emulation, unfortunately, does not work for me, that is the single step switch. Although I checked the vectors from 17FA TO 17FF, a push on "go" does not return the function to the next adress in the program code but ends up in 1C81. Also the PC seems to have lost its value. This is definitely a bug.

Perfekt zum lernen!
Die App ist wirklich großartig. Es ist sehr angenehm, um mobil den KIM oder Apple-I erleben zu können. Und selbst jetzt kommen noch Updates. Hut ab und vielen Dank! :)
