  • Action Shelf is broken

    This could be brilliant...but it doesn't work. The Action Shelf is broken; when you try to edit it, it force closes. Shame!
  • Widgets constantly disappear

    I love the concept of the app but the widgets keep disappearing. If I could know how long a Shelf widget last, then maybe I could automate with Apple shortcuts.

    Thanks
  • Choose wisely

    Doesn’t let you choose wedge you want no matter how many times you save it. Even after paying for pro.
  • exactly what I was looking for with live activities!

    you can customize them and have them on your screen for a while! it's a nice usage of that new ios16 feature, i can't wait to see what they'll come up with in the future for more customizability. i like to make my phone as much "mine" as possible and this app is perfect to help accomplish that. super seamless and clean too! give it a try!

  • Good so far

    Excited for the timer support.

    Appreciate the kind review, thank you! Looking forward to adding timer support as well. 🙂🙏
  • 👍🏽

    This is awesome! I would definitely purchase the Pro version if it had the option to remove the lock screen photo. Does it have the option to select multiple shelves and have them in shuffle mode?
  • If you’re forgetful like me - this app is game-changing

    This app has been a life saver when I need little reminders pinned to my Lock Screen.
    Small things like “bring lunch to work” or “pay bills” are just some of the notes I can keep handy on my Lock Screen

    I’ve also been playing around adding fun buttons and photos to my lock screen meaning everything I need is literally a click a way.

    This has been probably one of the best apps I have installed as it’s easy to navigate, does what it says and if I have any issues the support from the developer is superb.

    100000/10!!

  • Must keep re-launching shelves

    Very nice idea with this app and it’s functionality. But I’m having to continually go into the app and relaunch live activity shelves because they keep consistently disappearing from the Lock Screen. If this is fixed this would be a 5 star app to me
  • Great app

    Can display pictures on my lock screen, which is really all I wanted, although I wish there were more options for Shortcuts in order to automate the process of it being on & off, rather than just being able to turn it in on.

    Thanks for kind review, and that is some great feedback! 🙏 Will look into adding a shortcut action for turning off particular shelves.
  • Shelf adds super helpful access to your favorite things

    Great job! My first shelf consists of a
    4 shortcuts to; record a voice memo, open Camera, Photos, Settings. I like that one can add shelves to do different things additional to or instead of those. Yes iOS gives a shortcut to the camera on the lock screen but you have to push and hold. With Shelf you tap and it launches. Glad it looks like you have more options planned. Keep up the good work.

    Looks like Shelf is using its own app and Shortcuts App to accomplish it’s functionality. It would be nice though for someone who likes to not have open apps in the background if it would quit Shelf and Shortcuts after requested shortcut launches to keep open background apps to a minimum. Or maybe there is a way to do that within the app.

    Super appreciate the helpful review! 🙏  Awesome to hear you're enjoying having the system apps on the lock screen, I have plans to bring even more system actions to the list of selectable shelf actions! With regards to closing Shelf after running an action, unfortunately it's not possible to do this due to iOS limitations, even though it's a great idea and would indeed keep the previous app list nice and tidy.
