I could do it faster through mail! I need a home button that serves as a replacement home button and the app really does not do what it promises. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update app *2021-05-22, version 1.3* Please update app for compatibility with iOS 14 and later ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY THIS - Complete waste of money *2018-11-04, version 1.3* If I could give this zero stars I would. The first time you launch the app it needs files from the internet. It will not fetch the files and will only create a button, in my case a contact, in a My Buttons group under the icon. It cannot be moved without the “other” files from the internet. I have an iPhone 8 and the latest software load. I wonder how much money they’ve raked in on people who pay for this non-functional app. It should be called “pay me a dollar and kiss it good bye”. Will NEVER download from this developer again. ### 1/5 — Not great! *2018-07-16, version 1.3* Couldn’t add picture from albums and even after taking one on the app it didn’t turn up on the button. Other apps better, not worth paying for. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2017-07-27* The app opens a Safari page with instruction and nothing on that page works or click. It couldl have been an ideal solution but it siply does not work. It reaches a point where there are instructions on a safari page but that is it. I want my money back please. KS ### 1/5 — Don't buy this *2014-11-09, version 1.3* Doesn't work. Shouldn't be here ### 1/5 — Used to be a good app *2014-10-17, version 1.3* Under OS 8, it will not allow use of 'empty' buttons function and now it is NOT possible to create Safari site buttons any longer. ### 1/5 — Not as described *2014-02-27, version 1.2.1* Icon created launches safari before dialling, buggy opening, waste of money. I wonder why the app store doesn't include a refund like google ### 1/5 — Not what I expected *2013-01-29, version 1.1* Seems hacky...creates a fake web page so it can bookmark it on the home screen. It'd be great if it didn't launch the app when I want to make a call or whatever other action I try and set up. If they fix this problem it should be fine, but in its current state...pretty useless. ### 1/5 — No icon options - provide your own *2012-12-02, version 1.1* Useless unless you make your own icon or use a photo. Still seems to put my data online. (...not sure what's up with that since it says it doesn't put info anywhere but on my device.) ### 1/5 — Need....... *2011-11-27, version 1.1* There is an error when downloading files from Internet. Then every time u launch an icon the app launches in the background. Need action pics on icons to show what action the icon will take when launched. Need to add multitasking- add multiple actions to one icon. Need action pics to appear on icons to show phone, text etc. Need to add multi tasking - assign multiple action to an icon. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2012-05-15, version 1.1* Works as advertised ### 5/5 — Make apps. *2011-10-20, version 1.1* ⭕: Create apps that take you to places on existing apps fast or create shortcuts. Fast process but one might need to learn a thing or two. ❌: Has a bit of a learning curve Great for getting things done fast... Er. ### 5/5 — Great *2011-06-07, version 1.0* Works as advertised. ### 5/5 — It's so handy *2011-06-06, version 1.0* Fantastic idea. Allows you to create pre-programme 'buttons', with personalised icons, which when pressed quickly initiates a 'wanted' action. There is a great range of varied actions to choose from, which can easily be changed, with or without changing the icon. Feels like a PC, with it's own icon shortcuts, which can be camera/cameraroll created. Clever, quick and easy; with an user-friendly interface, which makes it easy to understand. It really is as simple as pressing a button. ### 2/5 — Needs Internet connection *2012-10-16, version 1.1* Contrary to the description, it seems to require an Internet connection to make a call, so not much use. ### 2/5 — Nice idea but no thanks *2012-03-09, version 1.1* The app it's self seems ok. But... You make an icon. Click on it. Instead of going straight to a phone call, safari then opens. Wait a few seconds. Your phone call starts. Nice idea but ends up being slower than just using phone app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
