Everything one can want for Shortcuts and more :)
fast and i have yet to encounter any bugs
Great
Gives so many options. I wish that they didn’t have to open the app when they are run in a shortcut but there’s probably no other way.
Apple please hire this person
Before I downloaded Actions, I was making lots of simple programs in Shortcuts, but kept running into things I couldn’t do. I knew my ideas were possible. I knew exactly what features I was missing. Now, with Actions, I’m making a tool that triangulates the location of a distant object. In order to do that, you need access to your phone’s compass, which there is an Action for (Get Compass Heading). You can also access the phone’s gyroscopic movement sensors (Get Device Motion Data, Get Device Orientation). These appear alongside the standard actions in the Shortcuts app.
So there are some things like that, that aren’t possible in Shortcuts without Actions. Many other things such as list processing are possible without it but easier or fewer steps with it.
There are a bunch of random cool features such as Get Related Words (multiple languages supported) and lots of basic little workhorses like Remove Duplicate Lines. You can encrypt and decrypt. You can process images or create a blank one from scratch. There are some Actions that duplicate standard Shortcuts actions but with nitpicky improvements in how they’re carried out.
My complaints are minor. Current version of iOS required. Some fields need a press & hold to select a variable or prior action. Some descriptions are detailed and helpful while others are like “Shuffle List: Shuffles the input list.” Some bugs exist, but nothing like the Shortcuts app itself. In fact, some of them are due to Shortcuts bugs that Apple would need to fix. This is my first ever app review but now I want to review Shortcuts! No five stars there! Maybe Apple should hire the person who made this app. Work like this is a gift to humanity.

Awesome app for shortcuts :)
It’s really good and smooth, and has a colour picker which I very much needed for one of my shortcuts. One thing though, when you go in the app to do some actions, it shows the menu for a second then goes to the action you want to do.
An absolute godsend
I’ve never used the Shortcuts app because of how limited it felt like using, but this app makes it so much better to use, and it’s user-friendly as well.
