User Reviews for Hand BASIC - CBM Flavor

I'm actually using this as a tool!

I'm enjoying the stew out of this app. I've been wanting to use some of my small programs on the iPhone for some time, without going into full-fledged app development. This does the trick!As a child of the 70s, I'm very familiar with this style of BASIC. I wrote tons of stuff (I wish I still had) on a TRS-80 COCO. Rewriting my small projects for this app is a piece of cake. I can now take my small programs with me. That, and it's a fun trip down memory lane. I'm enjoying the opportunity to use the evil GOTO again, after an almost 30 year hiatus. Writing in an unstructured environment like this feels strangely liberating!Thank you for making this app available.

Brings back old memories

This app is the closest thing to owning the Commodore 64 that I’ve seen. My first computer was a Commodore 64 and I loved programming it! Thank you for dev this app

The C64 REBORN...in YOUR pocket!

This app is PERFECT for an "über-geek" just like ME, who wants "something to hack around with", JUST LIKE OLD TIMES, when not only the C64 was popular (and STILL is!), but also numerous brands of the old calculator-sized programmable pocket computers, as well. Well done...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!! ;-)

Good App!

This app is an excellent brain teaser. The only complaint I have is that files are a little hard to access because you have to enter quotation marks and use the correct case.

Great APP works exactly how it should

This APP is FANTASTIC. If you have a love for the Commodore 64, or just want a simple scripting language on the iOS, this is the greatest. Also the Person who complained about the graphic add on just didn't know how to use it. if you type SCREEN 1, then add another line like SLEEP 2000 it will say up for a few seconds. Change the number to make it say up as long as you want. Some people need to read the manul.

Pretty cool

More of a “because I can” app than anything else. With no POKE/PEEK any work exporting to real hardware would be wasteful. In addition, to the 64 NOT understanding the advanced graphic commandsAlso, since NOT an emulator, does not support abbreviated commands (but does support long string errors).Overall fun to mess with when getting into BASIC conversations and want to “show off” some basic BASIC.This is a preliminary review. I’ll update further as I use it and if my opinion/understanding of it changes.

What happened to the help faq, graphics ext pages?

It seems the help, faq, new features, graphics extension pages are no longer available online.What happened to them? I want to make local copies of them to prevent this issue I am experiencing now.

Great Job

This does all the basics and works great, it will save your files and you can run them later. One person complained that they had to retype lines, all you have to do to make a change is list the line then move your cursor on the line make your changes and hit enter, just like the original basic. This has brought back a lot of great memories, thanks for creating this software.

Impressive App

App works really well, impressive that there is still support and upgrades from time to time.I have been able to write solid C64 basic programs on the go on iPhone and iPad, which has been a blast. Thank you!
