Back in 1964, BASIC was created at Dartmouth college as a language that would be accessible to everyone. Back then of course, computing was a resource that had to be wisely shared. Move forward 55 years and we all have computers in out pockets that can compute the moon trajectory in realtime, whilst allowing you to control a space craft, listen to music and print your thesis. During the 80's, BASIC was heavily used and modified to fit micros that by todays standards are tiny. This BASIC leans heavily on the Commodore C64 version, and to a large degree it follows it very well. The developer is to be commended for writing a piece of software that caters for the simple programmers, the ones who don't want to follow the rules of good coding and just want a solution. The hardest part is living inside 38K, as defined by the original memory model in the C64. All in all a fantastic piece of software that has been largely ignored and left to the ravages of time. The fact that it still functions with almost no faults on iPadOS 14.6 is a testament to the programmers coding ability. Well worth the small cost to get the graphics update and a good way to examine past computing methods. You never know, you might even have some fun coding something. -- Robert-Dowell, 2021-07-15 ### *---- "PLZ HELP" I don’t know why but WHY DOESN'T IT WORK? ISN'T IT SIMPLE? READY. INPUT "enter the first num "; A INPUT "enter the second num "; B INPUT "enter the third num "; C X=A+B+C PRINT "The Sum Is = ";X -- c00lgamer321, 2020-09-20 ### ***** "Has the WAIT 6502,1 Easter Egg" Commodore licensed BASIC from Microsoft, who left behind a little reminder -- Thestateofme, 2019-06-16 ### ***** "Really good C64 BASIC Interpreter" Whilst there is still no C64 emulator on iOS, this is a really good C64 BASIC interpreter with most of the BASIC commands in place. It’d be great if it’s development was continued. -- Legend Of A Mind, 2018-08-12 ### *---- "No peek & poke!" Massive disappointment. Why create CBM Basic 2.0 without Peek and Poke and then add a completely non standard library ie not Simons Basic, Laser Basic etc! Would make more sense creating CBM Basic 7.0. -- Stinaris, 2018-07-26 ### *---- "Don't waste your time" I have tried for many days to get any command working but everything returns as a syntax error, DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS APP -- CathalShine, 2018-06-14 ### ****- "Great program" Would leave to have a print at function. This would make programs neater -- Spirituk, 2018-04-05 ### ***** "So much fun!" Can't believe how much code I remember from 35 years ago. A few minutes and a few lines to calculate prime numbers was great fun. I've bought the graphics update, but have only used it to run pre-loaded programmes. Excellent documentation is provided. -- Chris Hawkins, 2015-08-07 ### ***** "Great App for nostalgia or for writing programs in Basic." Simply brilliant app, and highly recommended. -- DIJ003, 2014-12-19 ### ***** "Excellent" This is a very faithful and reliable implementation of Microsoft BASIC as supplied with the C64. The integration with the iOS environment is thoughtful and discreet, and the graphics extension adds tactful, early-'80s-BASIC-style ways of using the iPhone or iPad display (reading the touchscreen by PEEKing at a memory address is a joy). Of course, there are features that C64 BASIC doesn't have: you'll find yourself writing a lot of GOTOs and GOSUBs... But BASIC in the 1980s introduced more people to programming than any other language before or since; and this app is a good ambassador for it, full of little helpful touches that show the developer has taken care to get things right. -- Descriptivist, 2014-12-01 ### ***** "Very very good!" Wow, this app for apple products is one of the best out there for "BASIC" programming. Very good interface and good for newbies! Only one thing. If it would be possible, could you please add changeable font. This would be of great use to me! WELL DONE! :) -- Wertyuuop, 2013-08-11 ### ***** "Nostalgia" Like a previous reviewer I time warped back to the 80s. Being a previous C64 owner this is a dream come true. Can remember most of the commands but managed to download a PDF manual to refresh the memory. Great stuff!! I'd love to see a pc version of this app. -- Mickey1947, 2013-04-16 ### ***** "Great one of BASIC programming" Good with standard basic program except graphics. I paid for this app and upgrade with GRAPHIC, which are good worth. -- iLimPhone, 2013-02-23 ### ***** "Wow!" I was immediately transported back to the mid eighties: the smell of the brand new user manual; the feel of the chocolate-brown keys beneath my fingers; the many long nights of keying in pages and pages of code, supplied by the latest issue of 'Commodore User' into my beloved C64. For just a moment I had a glimpse of what it was like to be 14 again - such wonderfully simple times. Thanks so much for this app. -- SlightlyWetFart, 2012-12-09 ### ****- "Memories are made of this." Installed and wrote my first BASIC program in 28 years. Worked first time. Still got the chops. -- weemalky, 2011-10-09 ### ***-- "Shame!" And this is how good apps end. You never introduce a feature just to remove it later and ask for money to get it back! The graphic mode is now gone. I don't mind paying for it as the app is very good and the author deserves good money for it. Instead I'm removing it as I don't know what next feature will be gone and my written programs will stop working. I won't underrate it only because I'm disappointed. The app is good but as with every software you pay for the whole package. I didn't pay for this one but still, even free apps don't get downgrades instead of upgrades. -- Adigital, 2011-09-23 ### ***** "Excellent" First class -- johnsoncp, 2011-03-27 ### ***** "Spot on" Just what I need to teach the kids to code. Cheers mr developer -- mcBontempi, 2011-03-24 ### ***** "So cool" Now if I could remember how to program in BASIC... Such a blast from the past! -- Dave 123456, 2011-01-22 ### ***** "Very good" This is the first direct programming app I have found for the iPad. Gives a very good view of computing in the 1980s. -- Piers222, 2011-01-12 [View all Hand BASIC reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/ru/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Hand BASIC In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Graphics Extension for iPad | £9.99 | | Graphics Extension | £9.99 | ## Apps Similar to Hand BASIC -
