User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's simplicity, small size, no ads, and time-saving functionality for creating file and web page shortcuts. However, many experience frequent crashes on newer Android versions (Android 11 and above), especially when selecting files via the file picker. The app lacks folder shortcut support and has issues opening certain file types due to permission or association problems. Users also desire URL shortcut support and clearer permission requirements. Despite drawbacks, its minimal resource use and effective shortcut creation make it a favored choice for some.

Pros

Minimalistic, clean, and small app size without ads or cost.
Easily creates shortcuts to files and web pages on the home screen.
Saves time by providing quick access to frequently used files.
Allows custom icons and easy renaming of shortcuts.
Uses significantly less storage compared to similar apps.

Cons

Crashes frequently on newer Android versions, especially when using the file picker.
Does not support folder shortcuts, only individual files.
Some file types like PDFs fail to open due to insufficient permissions or missing associated apps.
Lacks support for URL shortcuts, requiring multiple apps for files and URLs.
Permissions management is unclear and not explicitly communicated.

Recent reviews

Needs permission to access before you can use this with a file shortcut app. You should state it explicitly at the start instead of returning BS messages like "cannot access file"

Very minimalistic. But that can be a good thing. I was hoping for more features and customizations, but this one is clean, ad-free, cost-free, and very small size, so no worries about storage space. Thank you very much kind person, for creating this app! <3
