it might be good but there's no instructions so I found it impossible to get started

BBCBasic used to work with AVG antivirus app lock, but it doesn't work without being unlocked and unprotected now. I would give 5 stars if it worked with AVG antivirus app lock.

Awesome app ... definitely worth a look, highly recommended. Unfortunately, the BBC Micro wasn't commercially available in Australia, but this app gives me a greater appreciation for the machine, which I had previously heard about from a series of computer programming books in the 1980's, by Usborne Publishing (UK). My only gripe, is within the BASIC interpreter, as the program lines will often cut off the last digit of numeric variables, and goto lines, too (ie. 100 GOTO 10 = 100 GOTO 1) ...

Brilliant to use BBC BASIC on a mobile phone. Very easy to use.

Hello, Richard - great implementation, as on all your platforms. One question, though - why is my choice of colours on the editing screens limited to pastel on my choice of pastel? 😉 Would prefer to have the option - black on white, a la BBC Micro, or ideally full choice for foreground and background?

Works well up to a point. Then whilst editing code the screen goes black and that's it. Program isn't saved, everything I was doing has gone. It happens when I switch from BBC BASIC you another app and back. The on-screen keyboard flickers sometimes and that's my cue to save what I'm doing before the inevitable crash. Probably some kind of conflict with the latest Android. I am using a Google Pixel 6 Pro, stock Android, not rooted etc.
