Best Automation App!

This is probably the best automation app you could install. I use it more than Shortcuts, even. I mean, you can customize your device with JavaScript? How cool is that?Scriptable has a ton of nice features: A clean UI (settings, dark mode, log), extensive documentation, and a ton of custom APIs written just for iOS. With Apple’s recent iOS/IPadOS 14 update came the ability to create widgets with Simon’s beautiful ListWidget() api. No other app that I know of can do that. Those were the Pros, and the Cons are.... well... hmm... well, guess there are no cons. 🤷‍♂️Also, since Scriptable is free, there is really no reason not to download it. So go download it!

I see great potential

This is an awesome concept. Being able to write automation scripts for your mobile devices, on your mobile devices. It’s awesome and wonderful and as a Javascript developer, two thumbs ups. I just got three recommendations for you, to bump this from a 4 star to a 5 star application:1. Documentation I don’t think should be a secondary window. If you can make it a sidebar, that would be huge.2. Maybe include some common JS documentation too. 3. This is probably asking for too much, but automation for our automation app. It gets really annoying writing out every word so if the Scriptable app could auto add ending curly braces, etc.If these three things were to be implemented, heck, I’d buy you as much coffee as you’d like :)

Should 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-explanatoryAnd 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.

Best 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.

Pachino

Wonderful App, but, I opened the app, and noticed one of my saved script was one..*In other words, the app automatically deletes scripts it chooses to (Randomly, or selected by the developer).Also, Apple App Store and the developer, take note of this, this App “Scriptable” does not appear under the cellular data section, therefore it means one cannot put off the cellular data for the app.. noting the face that The Apple iPhone does not have 100%(total) control over the app..This is wrong, a very massive bug, please this needs to be fixed..This App has too much access to the apple iPhone. Please developers fix this..

Shortcuts for JavaScript nerds

This is an incredibly well put together and well thought out app that is a virtual replacement for the Shortcuts app, assuming you know JavaScript.One thing I can’t seem to make it do is behave as an input/output step in the actual Shortcuts app. It might be nice to offer a script with a return value as a suggestion there.

I’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.

Amazing App

I wish I had more use-cases to use this! Maybe add a Marketplace or similar feature where people can add their scripts and you can install scripts from others. (Maybe also and .env variable feature that reusable scripts can get secret values that users don‘t want to share)🎉 Keep it up! Amazing stuff!

Documentation could use example stubs

This is an impressive app in the sense that it allows the user to perform “native” scripting on the iPhone to create files, present information using native iOS functions. The documentation for the functions such as “Alert” lacks example “stubs” and leaves out similar information a beginner needs. The online forum helps a great deal in filling some of the gaps. The included example scripts provide helpful information as well.

The 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 🤝

Description

Scriptable is an automation tool that enables you to write scripts that integrates with native features of iOS such as files, calendars, reminders, documents and much more. An extensive support for widgets enables you to write your own widgets using JavaScript and run the scripts on your Home Screen. Your widgets can show any data and be customised to look just the way you want.

With Siri Shortcuts you can present images, tables and more in Siri as well as making Siri read out loud a text when you run a script from a Siri Shortcut. There's a growing gallery of scripts to get you started with Scriptable. Here’s a few examples of scripts you can create: - Ask Siri whether a web service is down. - Create a widget that shows data from your weather station. - Postpone the next event in your calendar half an hour. - Check what is currently on TV. - Manage a list of movies you would like to watch. - Upload files to an image optimizer and store a URL to the optimized image. - Receive a notification with the weather report every morning. - Create todos with prefilled data in your favorite todo app using URL schemes.
