User Reviews: Contact shortcut photo icon ( iFavorite ) for Home screen

Top reviews

  • Seemingly a BETA test for paid app.

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS...

    Get "Iconizer" instead... Nowhere near perfect but a lot better then this.

    At first it just seems lacking.. Then you read the reviews and how they basically took out all the best features... My guess.. They used this as a Beta, found out what people used most then took them out and built a similar paid app with them..
  • Great App!!!

    It's really good once you figure it out. It's just what I've been waiting for!!!
  • Excellent

    Great for creating icons with custom backgrounds.
  • Refund

    I would like my refund back it only does contacts i dnt want the contacts i want the regular msg n stuff icons
  • Great for GoodReader files

    I wanted to put the link to a GoodReader file on my homepage and this did the job. Within GoodReader, hold as opposed to tap on the file. Get the link from the file manager on the right side of the screen. Use "custom" in step 1 and this link as the target in step 2 to create an icon that links to the document. The document doesn't open in a flash. Tapping on the link appears to go through this app, then opens GoodReader, then opens the file. This takes about 3 seconds on my iPad, but this is still quicker than I could tap. Thus, I give credit to this developer as find a clever if not ideal workaround to the lack of ability in iOS to do this directly.
  • Great idea, sometimes fails to work

    I'm amazed at how few people understand how this works. It's a shortcut to a target in the system so it's not going to act perfect. It's a very clever workaround the fact Apple doesn't let us have these sorts of desktop icon shortcuts. So in that regard its a great achievement to be able to do shortcuts to people or settings (it can still be done) without jail breaking. However, I just tried 3 times to make an SMS shortcut icon and it just fails at icon creation, so it's not always reliable. Otherwise would be 5 stars.
  • Preferences

    Even though they took the preferences away, you can still do preferences with the custom option. All you have to do is go to the custom option and under URL you enter the path in the settings using this: prefs:root=settings&(1st root)&(2nd root)&(3rd root)=(final root)

    Example: prefs:root=settings&general&about=ab-out

    This will send you to about in settings
  • Terrible

    Why in the world did you get rid of the preference shortcut, that was the only thing I used the app for? I would have rated it 5 stars easily but after the update it honestly doesn't even deserve 1 star! The app is basically pointless to me now, unfortunetly.
  • DON'T UPDATE!

    Why would you remove the most beneficial features? Please tell me it's to have the ability to revamp the setting options all together and then bring it back with more added options.
  • Do NOT update!

    This latest update removes the feature of creating home screen shortcuts for Settings. If you want to keep this feature, please be warned: Don't update.
