Perfect for what I do.

Okay, to start with, yes, the internal text editor leaves much to be desired with how it jumbles the lines rather than keeping things straight. Despite that imperfection, Basic! truly is a throwback to my childhood when I used to program Basic on a PreComputer 1000. However, instead of short text-based RPGs, I use Basic! for creating stochastic music.

(Protip: it's best to use a text editor with Dropbox exporting to program your stuff and then copy/paste into the Basic! app to run it. The Basic! app itself has limited slots for programs internally, and can't upload to Dropbox. These features would be nice internally, but squashing bugs and improving stability are more important.)

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'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'd hate to lose all my programs!

Having. Issues on iPad2

So I've been using this app for awhile on my original iPad1. I've recently downloaded onto my iPad2 but am having trouble running my saved programs, in that the enter/return button doesn't do anything half the time. If I keep typing in the input and hitting enter maybe it eventually works, or if I hit the minimize keyboard button sometimes that works. I even tried using my Bluetooth keyboard and that didn't solve the problem. It's also not just on my old saved programs also on new ones that I've tried to mess with just to see if it was because they were old programs from my iPad1. If this sounds familiar to anyone or the Devs can help I'd appreciate it because all in all it was my favorite BASIC program.
