If Scriptation crashes the moment it launches, open your device's Settings app, tap Scriptation, and toggle on Restart processes on the next launch — start there. If that doesn't help, work through the other steps below.

1. Reset Scriptation's launch processes (iPadOS / iOS)

This tells iPadOS or iOS to restart Scriptation's background processes cleanly the next time it opens.

1. Open the Settings app on your device;

2. Scroll the side menu all the way down. Depending on your iOS version, you'll either see Scriptation in the apps list directly, or you'll need to tap Apps first, then find Scriptation;
3. Tap Scriptation, then toggle on Restart processes on the next launch;

4. Relaunch Scriptation.

2. Force-quit and relaunch

If step 1 didn't help, swipe Scriptation away from the App Switcher, then reopen it. A fresh launch clears transient issues.

3. Restart your device

Power your iPad or iPhone fully off, then back on. When it restarts, leave other apps closed and try Scriptation on its own.

4. Check for a Scriptation update

Open the App Store on your device and install any available update. Make sure Automatic App Updates is on so you stay current.
