The Lua/BASIC thing shouldn't be a problem. There are long-present apps that can run Python and Lua, so they are alright with that amount of programmability.

Update :

The Apps are back on the App Store Smile

- TI-Nspire non-CAS iPad application
- TI-Nspire CAS iPad application

Also, TI actually took some time to improve the app (which is why it took more time than it would have taken just to fix the "issue") :

As mentioned on the ticalc.org frontpage, featured on TI-Planet, and discussed and elsewhere, the full press release is now available. The Apps themselves can now be downloaded once more from the App store. Here's the rather lengthy (but information-filled) press release:

Texas Instruments unveils breakthrough TI-Nspire Apps for iPad®

TI extends its most powerful graphing technology into apps
that will change the way students visualize, engage and interact with math

DALLAS (February 20, 2013) – Texas Instruments (TI), the most trusted brand in graphing calculator
technology, “took a major step forward in our mission to improve student understanding and
achievement in mathematics” with the release today of two new innovative apps: TI-Nspire™ App for
iPad and TI-Nspire™ CAS App for iPad, said Melendy Lovett, president of Texas Instruments Education
Technology.

“The apps fill a critical need for an all-in-one math teaching and learning tool designed specifically
for the iPad,” said Lovett. “TI is extending the proven benefits of TI-Nspire technology to the tablet
platform. TI’s goals are to provide educators with the most powerful math apps for the iPad and to
engage students while helping them reach a deeper conceptual understanding of math. Beyond the
new Apps for iPad, TI continues to support teachers by providing world-class professional development,
and access to free classroom-ready activities for use with the TI-Nspire Apps for iPad; activities can be
integrated seamlessly into curriculum and are available at TI’s Math Nspired website.”

The TI-Nspire Apps for iPad were designed and refined in collaboration with researchers and classroom
teachers, including Stephanie Ogden, Dean of Research and Development at L&N STEM Academy in
Knoxville, TN, who also teaches Pre-Calculus, AP* Calculus, AP* Statistics and STEM.

“The TI-Nspire Apps for iPad are truly transparent technology, allowing students to touch and interact
with math with little awareness of the tool in their hands. Students experience mathematics more
directly and they are beyond engaged—they are excited about learning,” Ogden said.

Unique features of the apps, which meet critical curriculum needs from 7 th grade through college,
include:

•All-in-one functionality for performing calculations in proper math notation; graphing and
exploring functions, equations and inequalities; constructing and exploring geometric figures;
creating, plotting and analyzing data in lists and spreadsheets.

•Interactive keyboard that toggles between math notation and QWERTY configurations for
placing notes and instructions alongside problems.

•Dynamically linked multiple representations of problems that encourage students to make
crucial connections by observing how equations change as they touch and interact with shapes,
graphs and objects on the screen.

•Familiar operations for creating and saving documents and sharing them using email, iTunes®,
and other file sharing options.

•Interaction with the built-in iPad camera interface that enables students to take photos, import
them into the app and overlay graphs and equations on them to illustrate abstract math
principles in the physical world.

In addition, the TI-Nspire CAS App for iPad has a powerful built-in Computer Algebra System (CAS) which
enables students to symbolically solve equations, factor and expand variable expressions, complete the
square, find derivatives, compute limits, find exact solutions in irrational form and much more.

TI-Nspire Apps for iPad will be featured in two full days of workshops and break-out sessions at the 2013
T3 International Conference held March 8-10 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The TI-Nspire App for iPad and TI-Nspire CAS App for iPad are available for $29.99 each from the App
Store on iPad or at www.AppStore.com . Teachers are eligible to receive a free, one-year license of
the TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS Teacher Software with purchase of one of the TI-Nspire Apps for iPad.
Detailed information about the TI-Nspire Apps for iPad, including a brief video overview, is available at
education.ti.com/ipad.
