Good App!

This app is an excellent brain teaser. The only complaint I have is that files are a little hard to access because you have to enter quotation marks and use the correct case.

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.

Great APP works exactly how it should

This APP is FANTASTIC. If you have a love for the Commodore 64, or just want a simple scripting language on the iOS, this is the greatest. Also the Person who complained about the graphic add on just didn't know how to use it. if you type SCREEN 1, then add another line like SLEEP 2000 it will say up for a few seconds. Change the number to make it say up as long as you want. Some people need to read the manul.
