5/5Best iOS interface I’ve ever seen
Theirs is truly no app that can compare to the sheer number of ways to interact with iOS on Scriptable. I was skeptical at first with this app because theirs so many useless apps for programing on the App Store and this one is 1000% better than the best I’ve seen. Seriously this app doesn’t cost a dime and I’ve been using it for the past couple of days and not ONE ad has opened, its amazing! Not to mention the possibilities with this app you can create timed notifications check sites. And best of all you can basically add Siri functions to your phone. Nothing else truly compares to this app if I could I would give it more than 5 stars.

5/5Should Be An Editor’s Choice App
Scriptable is by far one of the best apps I’ve ever downloaded. As a website developer, using JavaScript to program iOS shortcuts is like a dream come true. With the no ads and no premium subscription, it’s an app that I would definitely recommend to anyone with a background in programming. With that being said, I do have a few bugs and feature requests for the developer. The features include: - Word wrap toggle: on iPhone, it’s a pain to have to enter landscape mode just to make sure all the indentations are as they should be. A word wrap toggle would be a big help. - Theme choices: we should have the option to use a different theme for light/dark mode (for example: one dark pro, etc) - TypeScript support: this is pretty self-explanatory And the bug: - Accessing Contact and ContactsContainer in a widget results in a blank widget. However, this does seem to work if you preview the widget in-app using present.

5/5I’m finally comfortable doing iOS automation
I’ve been meaning to try Scriptable for a long time, and finally gave it a spin today. It’s SO MUCH better than using Shortcuts’ scripting language! Not only did I get my “upcoming birthdays” script working the way that I wanted it to, I was able to fix a date range bug in JS that I couldn’t figure out how to do in Shortcuts. Plus, as a bonus, now I’ve got a widget using my script that works with parameters. All this after noodling around for just part of the afternoon. Thanks so much for Scriptable.

5/5Browser
Great app; but the built in web browser has an issue: Web content is displayed under the notch and status bar. I have a scriptable action that sometimes requires me to view a web page (to log in and out) and the site's menus are at the top. It's impossible to use the menu at the top. I've only had partial success rotating my phone to access the menu. Please fix! 🙏

5/5The Greatest Pair for Siri Shortcuts
There’s a few quirks here and there, but they’re only graphical, so your content is all safe and sound (from my experience so far). The documentation is 10/10, and the example scripts are wonderful for new comers with all the comments! More features would be awesome, so I look forward to what is up next for this app. I just tipped the dev a caffe latte (the best in-app purchase I’ve ever made), but I wish I could give them a handshake for an app well done 🤝
