Love BASIC - great app

I had some medical calculations I wanted to test out quickly and BASIC is by far the easiest way to do it. This app proved excellent and completely trouble free. The only problem I found was that when the code contained long lines and the phone held in vertical position the screen went completely blank until I rotated it into the landscape position. Also when trying to copy a block of text or to cut and paste to a different locations scrolling occurred so fast it was impossible to control. However these are minor bugs that will probably get sorted out in future versions and I still think this deserves 5 stars. It should be noted that this is a more advanced form of basic than the original Dartmouth version of the 1970's that required line numbers. This version does not require line numbers and it is more structured. I like it a lot. Congratulations to the developers and Thanks!
Very interesting app.

I learned to program on a C64 so many years ago. It's still fun to tinker with BASIC to solve problems and this app is great for that.
Great app

I really enjoy the ability to write BASIC on the iPad. This app makes it fun and productive. Works well on the iPhone, too. Keep up the great work!
Great app

I just want to begin with, I haven't delved into the capabilities of this app yet. However, it is an amazing tool to teach my 9 yr old granddaughter about programming. She's amazed that she can make the computer "do" stuff. And what comes with learning programming, is learning how to think in steps, break big things down into little things, and how to "debug" because you never get things right the first time around.
Left for dead! ???

Sad to say this app seems to have been abandoned by its author. And the once active forum has also been abandoned. I published a lot of my programs there and also got a lot of good ideas from other users but that's all gone now. I'm very sad about that! ? It was once a very active community but now it's just a Go Daddy advertisement! ? This app used to be a fun place to share ideas and learn from other people's code but no more.
Great on iPhone 6 Plus and iPad (update)

I am 70 years old and love this program of yours. I think programming is helping me to keep my mind sharp, thanks to you! Really glad to see such a nice program, as this, for the iPhone 6 Plus and the iPad. Thanks for the recent update, totally solved the missing Help and Run buttons. Future update.... Auto Save would be nice. I have been using this program since mid 2014 and it is absolutely the BEST program (ever) for writing programs using the Basic Code. You are a fantastic programmer for what you have accomplished with this application. The only problem I have is when I go to EDIT the code, sometimes the screen will go blank. If I rotate my iPad the code will show up on the screen, but when I click on it, it's gone again. I have to Reboot the iPad, then I can use your program again. The worst part is the fact that all of the code I wrote, since my last save, is gone. I also have another program called BASIC, it is pretty nice with it's color code and and the original line numbers, quite retro. I never have had any problems with EDIT. But, I don't like it because it has limited syntax and just does not work like your program does, so I don't use it. Even if you are not able to update this program anymore, maybe someone can do this for you. There are those who really love this program, besides me, please help us if you can. Thanks again, for being such a Fantastic Programmer! Web
Love this app
