User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's simplicity and ability to create customizable web shortcuts with personalized icons and labels, filling a gap left by browsers. It works well without extra permissions or ads, supporting multiple browsers. However, several users are dissatisfied with recent updates removing automatic icon fetching, reducing shortcut clarity. The absence of backup and restore features makes managing multiple shortcuts tedious, and some experience installation errors on specific Android versions. Overall, it's praised for its core function but could improve by restoring favicon fetching and adding backup options.
Pros
  • Easy to create custom shortcuts for websites and playlists.
  • Allows customization of shortcut icons and labels.
  • Does not require extra permissions and has no ads.
  • Works well across different browsers and supports default browser opening.
  • Simplifies adding shortcuts compared to native browser features.
Cons
  • Recent updates removed automatic favicon/icon fetching, making shortcuts less recognizable.
  • No backup/restore feature, causing inconvenience when recreating shortcuts.
  • Some users experience shortcut installation failures on certain Android versions.
  • Lack of export/import functionality leading to potential loss of shortcuts after updates.
Recent reviews
Free, needs no permissions and has no ads, but does not load the flavicon of the website, so you have to add your own image for the icon, which is a disappointing shortcoming.
