## Description

**Quikshort: Shortcut Creator** helps you personalize Android access with custom home screen shortcuts, quick settings tiles, and organized shortcut groups. Launch apps, specific in-app activities, files, folders, websites, contacts, system settings, and custom intents with one tap.

Customize icons, colors, shapes, and sizes using icon packs or your own images. Create action shortcuts for tasks such as toggling settings, managing the clipboard, taking screenshots, locking your device, and opening the power menu. Quikshort also supports backup, export, and restore, with up to 15 custom quick settings tiles—or 32 with Pro. Certain actions require the Android Accessibility Service.

## Review summary

Users mainly praise Quikshort for adding missing Android shortcut capabilities, its broad feature set, and the favorable one-time payment model. Key drawbacks across reviews are reliability and persistence issues (shortcuts failing or disappearing after reboot/power-save), system and device restrictions complicating usage, lacking help content, and some branding/icon-consistency concerns on certain devices. Overall, it's powerful and appreciated but can be buggy and device-dependent.

### Pros

- Very useful app that adds features Android should have and offers a broad feature set.
- One-time payment for pro access with no subscription, plus substantial features available for free.
- Good support for creating shortcuts (including web shortcuts) and customizing icons/widgets.
- Great for organizing shortcuts and tiles; praised for its comprehensive shortcut management.
- Positive community signals with responsive developers and occasional donations unlocking features.

### Cons

- Shortcuts can be unreliable, sometimes not launching or only working on the first try.
- Shortcuts and configurations can disappear or degrade after reboot or when power-saving mode is enabled.
- System restrictions and device quirks (e.g., Samsung icon behavior) can block or misbehave with shortcuts.
- Help/descriptions are not very descriptive, making some features hard to understand.
- Free icons can show a giant watermark/logo and icon shapes may not match device icons on some devices.
