### 1/5 — Trash.

*2024-11-08*

Trashhhhhhh

### 1/5 — No documentation

*2023-01-21*

Good luck. If you’re into spending a lot of time trying to make something work, this is for you. 

If you like to get things done quickly, pass on this app and it’s Pro pack.

### 4/5 — Try it and see!

*2022-10-23, version 1.13.0*

Several useful actions for Shortcuts. You have to experiment a bit to understand them and see if they are useful for you. I often don’t understand the description.
I just love the FuzzyFinder action which lets you search in a list without having to be too exact in your spelling. Especially useful in languages with accented characters.

### 5/5 — Give this one a try!

*2021-09-21*

This app adds nice functionality to Shortcuts. Actions such as Combine Lists and Fuzzy Finder and Query CSV make Shortcuts macros not only more performant but also easier to review and maintain. Developer friendly, responsive, open to feature requests. For me the Pro subset well worth the purchase price. Give this app a try!

### 5/5 — Please add a notification action

*2021-06-28, version 1.9.0*

I know that there are other Shortcuts apps that offer this But I weirdly find myself in need of a third option.

Pretty please! 😊

### 2/5 — Add Wallet Pass Failing

*2021-05-20*

Spent over an hour troubleshooting before calling it a day. Rather frustrating and ultimately disappointing.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2021-01-07*

Needs more features however did convince me to get the pro mode

### 4/5 — Hard to not give GizmoPack 5 ⭐️!

*2020-10-17*

First, the set of free actions provide some really useful power tools that make up for the extra effort to become a Shortcuts next new user (installing the app)

The rest of the Gizmo’s are uniquely powerful additions to my Shortcuts code library.  Very cool Shortcuts can be made with GizmoPack Pro, with ease.  

With ease—providing you know how to use them. 

I’m smart to see they’re value, but I haven’t learned how to use several of them.  So, a Four ⭐️ review.   (Yep, my laziness at figuring them out knocks your star, because...

What GizmoPack lacks —

I would really like to see a robust library of in-depth, extensively commented, full-featured, useful, “example” Shortcuts that demonstrate  a variety of novel use-cases for each included Gizmo.  

I also wish their was an affiliate program.  Someone like me might craft new “trending” Shortcuts that require only the free Gizmos, with a funnel of useful Shortcuts that pipeline users to Premium “GizmoCuts”.  At your price, this “could” actually work really well. Especially if Shortcuts adoption explodes.  

The biggest thing I’d like to see is a community of users that can provide 24/7 help and inspiration for GizmoCut Crafters, to and for each other.  (All benefit and zero additional effort.  The robust example library would consume too much of your time as it is.)

The very cool GizmoPack extension to Shortcuts Actions lost ONE ⭐️  because I’ve been unsuccessful at making much use out of GizmoPack.  

I simply don’t know how to use (several) of the Gizmo’s

I’ve had several reasons to dig (briefly) into CSS Query/XPATH, assuming that it’s the best tool for my purpose.   (I’m right on that.)

I just need working code—in-situ—to break. In every way I can break it, until I get it.  

The one provided example is not enough.  There’s no pattern I can see with a set of two (elementary) and alternative Scrape HTML actions grabbing limited data from a single URL in one shortcut.  Copy/pasting “valid” Query statements from some JS tool into the GizmoAction was a nope.

Your tools offer so much opportunity to make unique Shortcuts ... because they’re NOT newbie friendly. 

GizmoPack for iOS Shortcuts needs an Example NoobRamp so it can make waves in this fascinating, —perfectly un-copyrightable world— of the highest level programming language ever written.

### 5/5 — Great Shortcuts Companion

*2020-09-28*

I’ve been using GizmoPack since it was in beta and it is a very handy utility for Shortcuts!
One thing to note—and not that this is a complaint: Some of the actions GizmoPack adds maybe a little advanced for those new to Shortcuts lacking a background Software development.

Overall, I would definitely recommend GizmoPack to anyone interested developing Shortcuts regardless of your skill level!

### 5/5 — Спасибо
