It was working wonderfully for my blond dad till Google forced the dumb Gemini on Action Blocks it is unusable now. Deleting obviously, not worth it.

This was a great app, allowed me to create shortcuts to run my automations without talking. Now apparently I can't use anything unless I'm willing to install gemini. Thanks, but no. I do not want any llm or AI chat bot on my phone. This app is now useless.
