I thank you much for this great tool.
It has made my life easier, and allows me to use my basic skills to do more than I could normally do.
Thumbs up!

"It did what I wanted"
Version: Platypus 2.6
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I know nothing about coding. I had a script that I used to run from the Applescript environment whenever required. I opened it in Platypus saved it as standalone drop-able item and i now have a one click solution. Never read any documentation because I never had to....It just worked.
Thank you -
"EXCELLENT!!!"

Not only is this a great idea and a great implementation, but when I had a problem, the developer responded immediately and fixed it!
If you write scripts, you must have Platypus. -
"Great!"
Version: Platypus 2.2
Summary

This app is really great, user-friendly and feature-rich. What I like most: It supports start by dropping file(s) on the generated program. Just imagine what you could do now with your X11 applications - or even with MacDoomLegacy (drop some PWADs on a script that writes "addfile" lines into the config file, and enjoy) ! -
"it's fun"

This app supports AppleScript. Even, you can build apps that do not generate "connection" errors, such as the ones from Apple's AppleScript Editor. I have been searching a solution to this problem for long: I found Platypus.
Very cool little app, coming with samples and tutorials. I didnt test all the script features, just AppleScript, but anyway I give 5 stars. -
"five and a half stars"
Version: Platypus 2.1
Summary

I really like Platypus, which has secured a permanent corner in my toolbox. And it keeps getting better. Whether it supports AppleScript or not is irrelevant to me, since I can always callosascript -l AppleScript -e commandfrom any shell script. Although I'm familiar with older versions of Perl and Ruby, I seem to do most of my scripting in Bash. Wrapped in Platypus, which is now so good it almost requires a user's manual, my efforts join the contents of my /Applications folder without a blush (along with Gimp.app!) -
"This seems cool but...."
Version: Platypus 1.2
Summary

It does not work with Applescript as advertsied, the apps just refuse to launch.
4 points because im sure it an oversight and will be fixed soon. -
"Exactly what I was looking for!"

Summary

This is excellent, and works as advertised. Nothing could be simpler than dropping a script on the platypus, then saving a WORKING APPLICATION to your Desktop. This means that Login Items can start up a script as though it were a normal application, without spewing ugly Terminal windows all over the desktop when you try to launch a KludgeScript.command ! Of course, it also means MANY, MANY other things, but those can be left as exercise for the imagination... ;-) Platypus should have been on board with the first non-beta OS X, in my opinion. My only micro-cavil ... no, nano-cavil ... is that some of us use Bash, and some of us will use Shells Not Yet Dreamed Of, so it would be nice if you could honor the shebang line. Thanks MUCH for adding Ruby support, one of my favorites.
