It's full of bugs and has crashed every time it wanted to create a short cut for any of my contacts. ### 3/5 — Долго *2014-06-01* Идея вообще шикарная) но, к сожалению долго приходится ждать, пока действительно начинает звонить) идея на 5, работа на 3, доработайте) ### 1/5 — Разачарован *2014-06-01* Вылетающее говно😡 ### 1/5 — I favorite *2014-06-01* Полное г....., не работает ### 1/5 — Гавно как и разработчик!!!!! *2014-06-01* Редко пишу отзывы, но в этом случае грехом будет не написать!!! Народ кто собирается качать не тратте время, упоротая какашка эта программа!!! ### 1/5 — Полная херь *2014-06-01* Глючит, вылетает. Так и не создала ни одного значка для быстрого вызова. Не ставьте. ### 2/5 — Не работает *2014-06-01* Почему то вылетает при добавлении контакта ### 1/5 — Очень нестабильная программа *2014-06-01* Очень глючная. Вылетает буквально на каждом шагу. Очень тормозит. Чтобы сделать вызов тупит пол минуты перед тем как перейти к набору номера. Итог: сырой продукт, за который жалко даже цента. ### 1/5 — Terrible! *2014-05-27* Awful app! Crashed my phone! DOES NOT WORK!!! Don't waste your money!!! ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2014-05-09* The app doesn't even work. I can't believe I paid for this junk! ### 1/5 — Waste of my time *2014-05-07* This was a waste of money it didn't work if you have the new update ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2014-03-30* Waste of money. Didn't work. ### 1/5 — Used to work .... *2014-03-17* This stopped working sometime in Feb 2014. The links created won't work and when you try to create new ones, it just crashes. Bad.... ### 3/5 — Faute de mieux... *2014-01-19* Cette application permet de créer des raccourcis en utilisant Safari. On trouve sur le net la même technique mais ici c'est plus rapide et simplifié. Néanmoins, le lancement d'un raccourcis ainsi crée ouvre un certain nombre de fenêtres, c'est rapide mais j'aurais aimé une application plus transparente. ### 2/5 — Takes too long *2014-01-16* It takes forever on my iPhone 4 to go through the several steps it takes from pressing my contact's new button to opening the app to opening the Safari browser to loading their linked page to actually getting the call (or text) to go through. Tedious. The worst part is when I open Safari the next time, it picks up where it left off and opens up the phone app to call (or message app to text) my contact again. I have to quickly try to delete that open webpage so I can use my browser without accidentally calling someone. I will probably be deleting this app and sticking with opening the phone and text apps directly. Sure, I won't have a button with their face on it-- but it's quicker the old way! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — no longer works *2016-01-25* it used to work great, but it no longer works! needs to be updated!!! ### 1/5 — This App is broken *2016-01-15* It should probably be removed from the App Store. ### 1/5 — Фи *2014-09-28* Не качайте эт фигню ### 1/5 — Какашка мамонта *2014-09-27* Не качайте ### 1/5 — Не качайте!!! *2014-09-27* Не работает, заявленые функции не выполняет! ### 1/5 — Говнище *2014-09-27* Говнище! ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE!!!😡😡😡😡 *2014-08-07* You waste my time and are horrible app creators.

There is a bug and now the app won't follow through. 😔 Please update for compatibility with the new operating system! Thanks! ### 5/5 — 很好 *2013-02-02* 非常好 ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2012-10-15* My 3 year old always wants to call people. Now all she has to do is tap the icons I made and she can call them. It's a good thing I don't pay for minutes. 😊 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2012-09-29, version 1.4.2* Great for creating icons with custom backgrounds. ### 5/5 — Great for GoodReader files *2012-07-17* 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
