## Basic! Reviews in United States

### ***** "Just Wow"
One of my first languages was basic. It helped launch me on the career I have today. This app brings back a lot of memories of sitting at night just coding up anything I could think about. This app is about as good as it gets for coding on IPad or IPhone. I use it one both. I have a python interpreter and a gui framework but, sometimes, I just want to code old school and this is the app that quenches my thirst!!
-- Nimbus396, 2024-08-10

### *---- "Does not work on iOS 14.4.2"
Took my $4.00 but crashes moments after launch with no user interaction.  Last copyright was 2019 — it is now May 2021.  If the coder stopped developing and supporting the app, please stop taking people’s money and remove it from the App Store.
-- Farkle-Edina, 2021-05-11

### ***** "Should be included in iOS"
Should be included in iOS
-- bill knighton, 2020-08-08

### *---- "Defining functions doesn&#039;t work"
The &quot;DEF&quot; command does not work. Developers support mailbox is full. Without the DEF command I can&#039;t do any meaningful computing. Please fix...
-- ACME Coyote Supply, 2020-03-27

### ***** "It’s great"
Thanks for updating it
-- hooterzzzzzz, 2020-01-18

### ***** "Using to teach my son"
This is perfect for teaching my 9 year old BASIC language and teaching him logic as well as math and science. He really liked it from the get-go!
-- OHNOBUSTER, 2019-12-26

### ***** "Left for dead!.. NOT"
I so glad to say now that this app has been revised it’s GREAT again! It had been abandoned for a long time but it’s back and better than ever! I’m happy now.
-- 3radart, 2019-09-07

### ***** "Lives in my homepage"
This app now lives in my homepage after playing with it for a while. It has very nice features, and feels like a full-fledged programming environment. 

I am also happy to see that this app is not abandonware, as you can see the developer recently updated the app, and is actively making improvements. Keep at it, you’re doing a great job!

It’s nice to be banging out some code while away from my computer. Yes, it’s BASIC, but don’t let the elitists fool you - this is a great, fun and very useful programming language.
-- DarkRadon, 2019-07-01

### ***** "Bruceman1947"
This version of basic can do alot.
-- Forthman, 2019-05-22

### ***** "Yay!! Updated!"
Update: This app has finally been updated for iOS 11 and 12! I’m thrilled to be able to use all my old programs I wrote in here. It seemed like it had been abandoned, I’m so glad it wasn’t!

Old review:Unless it&#039;s updated, this app will not work at all anymore when iOS 11 releases this fall (or now for beta users!) this is the one 32 bit app I will most hate to lose when I update (and I have more than 600 apps). Please update basic soon! I&#039;d hate to lose all my programs!
-- Person 48287, 2019-04-02

### ***** "Old Times"
I used write basic code back in the day. I forgot how satisfying it can be. This app is very very well done.
-- MachisteML, 2019-03-30

### ***** "Basic"
Just getting started. But so far I love it.
-- JP244, 2019-03-25

### *---- "Needs Update for iOS 11+"
Nice app that just not works anymore in the latest iOS versions. Contacted the developer and got no responses so far... :(
-- Smallville2010, 2019-01-09

### ****- "It doesn’t go up to 11"
How sad, it was a very nice app. It would be so nice to upgrade it to work on iOS 11. How I miss it:(
-- xbasicx, 2018-09-26

### *---- "Doesn’t work with current iOS"
I miss it so much! I wish it worked again.
-- Bob G unc, 2018-06-08

### ***-- "Need to be updated"
I’ve always been a huge fan of your app but it needs to be updated to iOS 11. I’ve been waiting for the update for a long time and it doesn’t seem like it’s gonna come out. I just wanna let you guys know that people still use and love your app. So if you updated it that’d be awesome!
-- Bony , 2018-05-24

### ***** "Please update to iOS 11"
I have been making programs with this app for years and I really don’t want to lose them but now that I am updated to iOS 11, I can’t use this app any more. I really want to be able to use it again!
-- Taitsistihkc, 2018-04-23

### ***** "So awesome!!!"
This app is one of the coolest I&#039;ve ever downloaded. Very easy to learn, and it even has custom functions that other BASIC interpreters don&#039;t have
-- Markrdr, 2018-01-13

### ***** "There is something wrong with your PRINT USING"
x=123.456789
PRINT  USING &quot;####.##&quot; ; x
END
  

Doesn&#039;t work. Won&#039;t print results

iPhone 6s Plus iOS 10.1.1
-- Alex Dumestre, 2017-12-23

### ***-- "iOS11 Alternatives"
Many of us have been eagerly awaiting this awesome app to be updated for iOS11 but to no avail. I found two others that I just discovered and am testing. One is &quot;MCXi BASIC&quot; and the other is &quot;BASIC Let&#039;s Code&quot;. Neither shows up if you enter BASIC in the App Store search field, but they show up if I type FORTRAN in the search field. Don&#039;t ask me why... I don&#039;t know either! One caveat is that it&#039;s not free. One is a buck, the other is two bucks. I&#039;m perfectly willing to support the developers and the price is more than reasonable.
