Issue with adding on the Dynamic Island

When I add a photo to my Dynamic Island it keeps showing that it’s loading. It doesn’t go away. Can you fix this issue please.

Bugged

Won't let me use it to open apps or run shortcuts. If I try to create a shelf to do those things as soon as I try to pick one it closes out before I can pick one.

Shelf

Love this app I just wish I had the option to not show it on lock screen

Open app not functioning

The open app shelf did not work as it was supposed to

The app doesn’t work for me

Whenever I try to make a shelf other than a text shelf it kicks me out of editing it and the colors are stuck as purple unless you pay for the pro version, if you hold the Dynamic Island it looks broken only some dot short cuts icons show up

This app is actually free, and yet I’d pay for it

Refugee from Activity Builder. This app is perfect!

Confused

I have been trying to add shelf two which I added a photo and every time I click save the photo isn’t showing which seems really weird. I’m putting this at 5 stars so you guys can see it. If I figure it out I will make another review. Thank you

Action Shelf is broken

This could be brilliant...but it doesn't work. The Action Shelf is broken; when you try to edit it, it force closes. Shame!

Widgets constantly disappear

I love the concept of the app but the widgets keep disappearing. If I could know how long a Shelf widget last, then maybe I could automate with Apple shortcuts.

Thanks

Choose wisely

Doesn’t let you choose wedge you want no matter how many times you save it. Even after paying for pro.

exactly what I was looking for with live activities!

you can customize them and have them on your screen for a while! it's a nice usage of that new ios16 feature, i can't wait to see what they'll come up with in the future for more customizability. i like to make my phone as much "mine" as possible and this app is perfect to help accomplish that. super seamless and clean too! give it a try!

Good so far

Excited for the timer support.

👍🏽

This is awesome! I would definitely purchase the Pro version if it had the option to remove the lock screen photo. Does it have the option to select multiple shelves and have them in shuffle mode?

If you’re forgetful like me - this app is game-changing

This app has been a life saver when I need little reminders pinned to my Lock Screen.
Small things like “bring lunch to work” or “pay bills” are just some of the notes I can keep handy on my Lock Screen

I’ve also been playing around adding fun buttons and photos to my lock screen meaning everything I need is literally a click a way.

This has been probably one of the best apps I have installed as it’s easy to navigate, does what it says and if I have any issues the support from the developer is superb.

100000/10!!

Must keep re-launching shelves

Very nice idea with this app and it’s functionality. But I’m having to continually go into the app and relaunch live activity shelves because they keep consistently disappearing from the Lock Screen. If this is fixed this would be a 5 star app to me

Great app

Can display pictures on my lock screen, which is really all I wanted, although I wish there were more options for Shortcuts in order to automate the process of it being on & off, rather than just being able to turn it in on.

Shelf adds super helpful access to your favorite things

Great job! My first shelf consists of a
4 shortcuts to; record a voice memo, open Camera, Photos, Settings. I like that one can add shelves to do different things additional to or instead of those. Yes iOS gives a shortcut to the camera on the lock screen but you have to push and hold. With Shelf you tap and it launches. Glad it looks like you have more options planned. Keep up the good work.

Looks like Shelf is using its own app and Shortcuts App to accomplish it’s functionality. It would be nice though for someone who likes to not have open apps in the background if it would quit Shelf and Shortcuts after requested shortcut launches to keep open background apps to a minimum. Or maybe there is a way to do that within the app.

5 Star :)

Omg this is amazing. It made my lockscreen and dynamic island so much more vibrant and fun

Cool concept - can it do videos?

Videos/gifs would be cool
