2026-04-10 iP***** It makes me go to the browser to add a shortcut to the home screen when it isn’t that on iOS 15 or later and sometimes it doesn’t work for the icon as it sometimes is just a screenshot of the website with white at the bottom of the icon and I guess it’s because of the image resolution I was doing but even then the resolution of my image matches the resolution of what all my app icons display as most of the time plus it’s just buggy when you give it lower resolution images and it limits how far you can zoom in to whats not enough in my opinion, and when you open a shortcut that is supposed to open another app it opens the shortcut as it’s own app, then loads, then goes to the Shortcuts app, loads, then opens the app like it shouldn’t need to open 2 other apps first to open the app I told it to do and the two apps it opens first don’t fully close after and I can see them in my app switcher and in my opinion it feels unorganized having apps not being used currently there and I like to close the ones I’m not using to save battery just in case it does use battery and I can tell it would be annoying to close two apps every time you open a shortcut like that. And where is automations it’s on iOS 15 or later and app compatibility literally says requires iOS 12 or later and normally the app compatibility section is true only for the latest version of the app so it should at least tell me if it’s compatible or not in app for that feature or just change the app compatibility information or add it for iOS 12. But please add it for iOS 12 I love my iPhone 5s. And this part of my review is for my Apple Watch which is why does the app say “Night Shift is not supported on Apple Watch” like you can use Siri to turn on Night Shift on that product, like isn’t it better for your eyes, and Apple Watch is for health recording to your advertisements so it doesn’t make sense and I was using this app on someone’s iPhone to keep it on all the time which means I wasted a bit of time like just add full support for Night Shift on Apple Watch please. And if you are an Apple worker reading this helping make these apps better thank you for reading. Disclaimer but I don’t know how the app is like on iOS 13 and 14 so when I said iOS 15 or later I was just saying I know it acts like that on these iOS versions. Also I was updating this review because I noticed more things wrong and while I was doing it I went to another app for a quick sec and it put me back at the recent tab I used on the store when I come back to this app (App Store) then I had to put my iPhone in sleep mode to do something and it did it again and made updating this review feel like a hassle and yes I was on low power mode but it never specifically told me anything about this anyway and I’m not sure the newest version of iOS will change anything so can you all fix this or make it a option for my iPhone to ask me if I want to somewhat close my app for the reason of performance usage from that app or the current app doing more that would make things less frustrating and because I want you all to do it, it might help make the idea of a non iPhone user trying their parents old and maybe abandon iPhone then think iOS does all of it’s things right.

2026-02-16 ❄️***** It might just be the kind of phone I’m using - it’s an old iPhone 12 - but when I make an app look nice and aesthetic, then press add to home screen, it’s not working. I like how it works inside the app but I wouldn’t recommend getting it unless you have an iPhone 13 or up.

2023-12-20 Ga***** I got this app mainly to set a charging animation and when the app I got for the wallpaper told me to click automation at the bottom of the screen, but the button wasn’t there. I looked it up and they all said to press automation. I use an iPhone 6 (iOS 12.5.7) and I don’t know what’s wrong. Developers please fix this. I’m not saying that this is a bad app, the shortcuts work great, I would just like to be able to set charging wallpapers. That’s why I gave four stars. Developers, PLEASE FIX
