Rough

Not a great tool. You can get it to do stuff, but it takes a lot of effort. The "describe your shortcut" gives unusable slop.

W app

I use it all the time, and it makes my iphone better

Late to the party!

I haven’t been able to easily figure this out. But I really needed to create a shortcut one day and I went searching all over for instructions. I still have questions… but I did it!!!

Really good,

Oh god

😍👍👍👍

I love shortcuts as a mom 100 present download🥰🥰🥰😂😂

They Removed the Colour filter setting

I was using the app to apply the colour filter to social media apps when they opened to make them less appealing. They have just removed this feature.

Shortcuts

My favorite app by far, so fun toying with it

bug

增加从菜单选择的项后,没法删除

Not working

Not working on iPhone 16 pro max ios 27.0.1. Shows blank page and search shortcuts but no shortcuts or plus button to add any

Does not work

I downloaded this app for one thing, and every time it’s supposed to do that thing it fails. So this is just pointless bc it does not work.

Flaw-ful experience

Apple continues to disappoint. Since iOS 27, multiple shortcuts do not work even if I create new ones. Even with something as simple as “turn orientation lock on when I open X app”. Just unbelievable. What a disappointing downfall of a used-to-be-great company. I look forward to new alternative companies, as Apple is just more headache than help.

Amazing.

Shortcuts is one of the best preinstalled apps on your phone — it’s a mini coder. Super helpful and has so many uses

Horrible

Horrible app

Beautiful

Nice

Works great, if you have patience.

A masterclass in how not to make a UI for automation. They focused on making the user interface very sleek. So sleek that it is not entirely obvious what you need to do to make the logic work or where you need to click or what an item even means. I work on and design building automation systems for work and this was much harder to make the app simply grab certain events from my work calendar and add them to a shared family calendar so that my wife can see when I am on call for work. The app hides very key pieces of information until you click in the exact right spot. The app has tons of potential if they would focus less on sleekness and more on usability. If it takes someone who design designs logic systems two hours of working with AI to figure something simple out, how usable is this app for the average person?

If you have the patience, the possibilities are endless. Just be prepared to be frustrated.

I hate it

I made a mistake and now I can’t undo that mistake I absolutely to not recommend hate it so much! Only gave one star because I had to.

Cannot remove automation notification

I don’t see a way to stop receiving automation notifications on iOS 27.

Could be better

Needs Spotify shortcuts

Please give me a shortcut for type to Siri

The current UI/UX for accessing Type to Siri is ATROCIOUS. Please give me a shortcut where I can open Type to Siri with the side button instead of talk to Siri. I’m losing my mind here.

SO GOOD AHHHH

I use this to get notifications from my f/o (fictional other) as a yumeshipper and I love it!!
