AppleScript is a macOS platform feature and will never ship on iPad or iPhone.
iPhone app ships in Phase 3 using the same codebase as the iPad app, adapted for compact layout.
Default external reader — Mac lets you pick a specific app in Settings. iPad uses the system open-with picker each time; iOS doesn't expose an API to enumerate or pre-set handler apps.
