★★★★★ Dear GOD this is fun!!!
by Glory dude · Apr 14, 2019

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

★★★★★ I'm actually using this as a tool!

I'm enjoying the stew out of this app. I've been wanting to use some of my small programs on the iPhone for some time, without going into full-fledged app development. This does the trick!<br/><br/>As a child of the 70s, I'm very familiar with this style of BASIC. I wrote tons of stuff (I wish I still had) on a TRS-80 COCO. Rewriting my small projects for this app is a piece of cake. I can now take my small programs with me. <br/><br/>That, and it's a fun trip down memory lane. I'm enjoying the opportunity to use the evil GOTO again, after an almost 30 year hiatus. Writing in an unstructured environment like this feels strangely liberating!<br/><br/>Thank you for making this app available.

★★★★★ Works great, fun to use

This app works great and is fun to use. After downloading it, I got a used Commodore 64 BASIC book (by Carl Shipman, copyright 1983) from Amazon, since I didn't know BASIC. The app itself has a lot of helpful documentation. I've been learning a lot working my way through the book and am really enjoying using the app. So far I've had no problems with the app at all.

★★★★★ Brings back old memories

This app is the closest thing to owning the Commodore 64 that I’ve seen. My first computer was a Commodore 64 and I loved programming it! Thank you for dev this app

★★★★★ 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.

★★★★★ I 🫀 this app

I just wish I could play games on it

★★★★★ Impressive App
by Ppl4world · Nov 23, 2022

App works really well, impressive that there is still support and upgrades from time to time.<br/><br/>I have been able to write solid C64 basic programs on the go on iPhone and iPad, which has been a blast. <br/><br/>Thank you!

★★★★★ Works Great

Great app. Allows me to accomplish most math programming on my phone without learning new languages and using large resources on a PC.
