### 1/5 — Worked once and then never again

*2026-11-06*

I added the shortcuts and followed the directions. Counter only works about 1/15 times. Only app I wish I had my $0.99 back for. Save your money

### 1/5 — Why manual count

*2026-11-05*

Even with Background counting on it doesn’t work a lot of the time. I guess the developer knows this and thats why you get the option to manually add counts. Even version 1.2.1(9) with shortcuts doesn’t work unless you go into the app. Widgets don’t update unless you go into the app

**Developer response:** Thank you for testing so carefully – your report helped me find two real problems. 1) In iOS 27.2 the automation editor changed: there is no "Run Immediately" anymore, and if the action is missing the automation silently does nothing. Setup (iOS 27.2, works with the current version too): Shortcuts → Automation → + → "Opened or Closed" → make sure it says "When iPhone is Closed" → tap Search at the bottom, type "Fold Counter" and tap "Count Fold" → back arrow. Important: the line "Count Fold" must appear below the trigger – an automation without it ("New Shortcut") does nothing. Optionally repeat with "Opened" and "Count Unfold". Step-by-step guide with screenshots: duofoldcounter.vercel.app/setup 2) The widget was only refreshed every few minutes in the background. Version 1.3, now in review with Apple, fixes this (widget updates right after each automation run) and includes the corrected guide with a green check. If anything still doesn't count, contact me via the support link – I'll help personally.

### 1/5 — Worst app in the store

*2026-11-04*

Does not work properly, don’t waste your time or money

**Developer response:** Sorry it didn't work for you – I'd really like to fix that. iOS only lets apps read the hinge while they are open, so folds made while the app is closed need a one-time Shortcuts automation (no GPS, no extra battery). Setup (iOS 27.2, works with the current version too): Shortcuts → Automation → + → "Opened or Closed" → make sure it says "When iPhone is Closed" → tap Search at the bottom, type "Fold Counter" and tap "Count Fold" → back arrow. Important: the line "Count Fold" must appear below the trigger – an automation without it ("New Shortcut") does nothing. Optionally repeat with "Opened" and "Count Unfold". Step-by-step guide with screenshots: duofoldcounter.vercel.app/setup Version 1.3, now in review with Apple, adds this guide in the app with a check that turns green once it works. If something else isn't working, tell me via the support link in the app – I answer every message personally.

### 3/5 — Got it to work with developer’s shortcut instructions.

*2026-11-07*

The app has great potential and was double counting my iPhone Duo folds at first. I reviewed the developer’s instructions on shortcut creation and automation when the app is closed and it now works for me. I have a widget on the home screen showing the count. I’m looking forward to the newer version as it seems to count a fold when I open the app. As long as I just look at the widget it is working correctly. You can always go into history and delete erroneously counted folds. Overall, I think the app is useful with the developer’s helpful instructions provided in the FAQ Help section.

### 3/5 — Manque le français

*2026-11-02*

Si possible d’y intégrer la langue française

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! Le français arrive avec la version 1.3 de Duo Fold Counter, qui vient d'être soumise à Apple pour validation. Dès qu'Apple l'aura approuvée, l'app et les widgets seront entièrement disponibles en français. Merci pour votre patience !

### 5/5 — Funktioniert wirklich gut!

*2026-11-05*

Die App funktioniert wirklich gut und gibt einem witzigen aber interessante Statistiken wie oft man das Duo, in welchem Status benutzt & wie oft man den Klappmechanismus beansprucht.

### 5/5 — Simple Little App - but love it

*2026-11-04*

Got curious how often I actually open my Duo… turns out way too often 😅
Counter just works, and the weekly stats are kinda eye-opening.
No ads, no nonsense, barely touches the battery.
Simple little app but I check it every day now. Love it!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much – this made my day! 😊 Glad the weekly stats are eye-opening for you too. Tip: with the Shortcuts automation (Settings → "Shortcuts automation") every fold is counted even while the app is closed. Version 1.3, coming soon, adds a step-by-step guide for it. Happy folding!

### 5/5 — Needs some updates

*2026-11-01*

This is a beautifully designed app. However, I’ve encountered a couple of issues.

First, when I tap the widget to open the app, the counter automatically increases by one, even though I haven’t intended to add a count.

Second, after some time, the widget stops syncing with the app. Even when I switch back and forth between the app and the widget, the count displayed on the widget no longer updates.

I would appreciate it if you could fix these issues.

Thank you!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words and the detailed report! Both widget issues are fixed in version 1.2.1, available now: opening the app from the widget no longer adds an extra count, and the widget stays in sync with the app. 1.2.1 also brings redesigned widgets. Since version 1.2 there are also Shortcuts actions that count every fold even when the app is closed – Settings → "Shortcuts automation". Thanks again for helping make the app better!
