Needs an update

It looks like I’m the two years since the last update some changes have been made. They’ll need to update the app before it’s usable again.

Needs Liquid Glass update

The widgets don’t blend into the background like they used to because Apple’s Liquid Glass design added weird borders around them. Normally wouldn’t give an app like this one star but Liquid Glass has been out a long time now and as of this review the last update was two years ago. Avoid this app.

Abandoned

Ever since Liquid Glass got released this app turned to trash. I enjoyed it before that but it just isn’t any good anymore.

Most buggy app

Widget doesn’t line up with wallpaper, the shortcuts aren’t updated, doesn’t have a lot of app support, is clunky
Ddimku123

Wow

Pretty much near pointless. It’s a $5 widget… with shortcuts. If you want full tech minimalism it gets you halfway there, but since it’s just a widget there are easy ways around it. For what it is it’s intuitive and well made, but it’s not really helpful.
