It would be helpful if the text size, color ... could be adjusted.
I get the following error on Android 9:
Note : This extension may not work on builders that are still using Android Support libraries (Like Kodular), because my extension works on
androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView
And for @Anke 's request, I am glad to say not only text size, color, can be adjusted but, filters, typeface is also customizable

Cool extension will be better after these updates

Ingenious, but this can be achieved easily with just blocks.

If someone bans on making an app with a few blocks, then yes. For me it does not matter if a function takes 1 or 20 blocks.
But the fact is, if someone has a problem with coding in ai2, it might help.

You are right but this extension may be helpful for the new users or who are beginners or do not want to code the blocks

If they do not want to code the blocks they shouldn't start using App Inventor

Sorry to make this comment but - have you ever used a typewriter? The paper should start at the bottom of the screen and feed upwards for each new line of text.
See my website for a block code snippet download:
