Hi, please get in touch with the support if you need help with the setup. The app works as described in the App Store and as rated by many satisfied users. Alternatively you can of course directly request a refund. Kind regards, Marian Koenig

A seeming waste of money

I purchased the app, but the whole setup is cryptic and support info is very limited on how to use the app.

I had hoped it would mirror a similar type of Windows desktop organizer, but no such luck so far.

I would like a refund!

Response from developer

Hi, I am sorry to for that and that the app does not serve your needs as it does for the majority of its users. If you like please please provide further details via mail@mariankoenig.com – of course you can request a refund. This has to be done directly via Apple, as I am only receive a certain amount of each (satisfied) purchase. Here‘s the link: https://support.apple.com/en-us/118223 – Kind regards, Marian Ko­enig

It’s simple and it works.

What more can I say ? 😁

Thanks a lot, I am really happy for this feedback. Best regards, Marian Koenig

Great but why can’t the home screen work like the lock screen?

There is no way to make it go directly to my file/folder rather than to the app first?

It does it with the lock screen option.

Also pictures for file logos or something would be nice if possible.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback and your rating. I will keep the hint regarding custom file icons in mind for the upcoming updates. Regarding the app first approach after tapping a shortcut, I have no influence unfortunately, as iOS links to the app first to handle any widget tap. In case of the lock screen, the action is called immediately from system in the current state of the operating system. Kind regards, Marian Koenig

More customizability

I am not sure about the capabilities of it, but being able to change the pictures of the icons would be nice.
