AppleScript support

Tyler Richardson 10 years ago in iPad • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 10 years ago • 4
I have just purchased this app for £6 specifically because the website advised that the app supported it and no other app could.

i find myself highly disappointed that this app does not work as advertised.

i am reserving my review score of this app until a member of technical support can address this ultimate failure to deliver what has been paid for.

what exactly do you mean by "AppleScript support"? textastic offers syntax highlighting for applescript files (use the file ending ".applescript" or set it manually). that highlighting works perfectly for me, i just checked it with an example script. where exactly did the website state that no other app supports that?

if you described what exactly doesn't work or why exactly you are disappointed, that would help finding the solution.

as far as i know, axelander blach developed this app as a single developer. he additionally handles a huge amount of pointless support requests every week, which could have been avoided if the requesting person read the manual or sued the forum search.

i think, mr blach does this still on his own, or at least without a company or studio of several people. in my opinion, textastic is one of the most versatile, powerful and bug-free apps in the german app store. additionally, it's exeptionally small and cheap for its value.

so please take the time to
- double check that it is really a problem/bug/missing feature
- explain what exactly doesn't work
- worship this amazing tool me blach gave us

When viewed in the editor the AppleScript code is illegible 

I will post an example, I see the phrase "raw value" quite a lot

Hello,

the default AppleScript .scpt files are binary files. You need to save the script as an .applescript file (file format: text) using the AppleScript editor on a Mac. Then you can edit it with syntax highlighting in Textastic.

Best regards,

Ha ha, raw value is my code variable.

this is a valid AppleScript file not the compiled app

the app can not read the code
