Basic Programming Language Reviews

Input

Input statement does not allow you to input with the keyboard.

IF C >= BV(n) THEN B(n) = B(n) + 1:C = C - BV(n) This should only execute the second statement if condition is met, but it always executed it.

Terrible

Doesn't handle the most basic of BASIC commands.

I'll save your dollar. The reference for its commands is lacking severely. You get a list to various basic dialects.. not a specific document created for THIS compiler. It has no program output. It only runs in the compiler. I am going to request a refund from apple. Not a happy buyer... even for a dollar.

BASIC app Review

So, I'll reserve comment

F**k this app

You have to buy stuff in order to even use it! 0/10

Bad compiler.

First off, for the others looking at the reviews, If you want something to program on, just use Apple ][js. Its on the internet. Now for a message directed to the developer. Before you put in a lazy, automated message, I would like you to explain how in the world you think that the "pay before you use" thing works. Hell, Winzip lets you use their program for free; EVEN IF IT PROMPTS YOU TO BUY. Why not do that instead?

Don't bother.

Only allows one free compilation. Not worth the time.

Go elsewhere

I wrote programs years ago, on the Mac and Apple IIe, in basic. The first 10-line program I wrote with this app timed out after about 5 seconds of compiling. Look elsewhere if you want an app that allows Basic programming. One star, in my opinion, is too much. As for trying to report the problem through apple, you CAN'T. The page they bring up contains nothing but your receipt. Shame on you MegaKey & Dmitry Koyba.

Understand how this works. For 2 bucks you become a captive member of the Dmitry Kovba society. The app is a service which lets you tie into Mr. Kovba's computer via the internet. When you write a program in Dartmouth Basic, you upload it into Dmity's server. Then when you want to run the program you have to go back to Kovba's computer, each and every blessed time. As a result, each simple run of a simple program is shockingly slow. In addition, if you write something brilliant and/or useful, it instantly becomes Dmitry's property. In other words, although it would be very easy to write a Dartmouth Basic app which could be completely downloaded into an iPhone or iPod, which would allow the user to operate independently and completely free of tether, this is definitely not the case here. There are other problems with Dmity's software itself. For example, if you want to write a simple program involving trignometric functions, the software does not recognize angular measurement in degrees. Everything has to be converted to radian measurement. Pretty tacky. If we all resist the temptation to waste 2 bucks, sooner or later someone will come by with a real Dartmouth Basic app. Ron DiGiovanni Easton, PA
