What happened to the help faq, graphics ext pages?

jedishrfu on

United States

App is obsolete. Help, faq … no longer work. Would suggest looking at other more current apps. Ihelp, 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. The developer gave me copies but sadly he is no longer interested. In updating his app to current iOS standards.

Won't delete

Look, it's great and all, but it WON'T delete unwanted programs. That's the issue here.

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

Ppl4world on

United States

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!

Well Done!

A fantastic app. I remember coding in the 70s and I’ve been missing it a lot. I have emulators for many of the older computers, but I wanted something I could noodle around on while sitting on the couch, and this makes that possible. Thanks for a great experience!

I 🫀 this app

Not a complete and true emulator, but SO close (as close as Herr Apple will let us get, for certain).

Some of the old engineering books I'm reading online have their code in BASIC and this app is perfect to help me work through them.
