### 4/5 — It’s great but…

*2026-07-29*

If you use free you only get three prompts. At least I know how to make my own shortcuts.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-07-12*

The window is small and stretched on the top of the screen and at one point the buttons stopped working and it wasn’t scrolling down

### 3/5 — I Really Want To Love This But…

*2026-06-11*

I really wanted to love this app but I spend a lot of time trying to clarify and correct the creation of simple shortcuts. On top of that, it seems like every time I open the app I have been signed out (which I don’t think is very obvious when that has happened) and, if I have started attempting to create a new shortcut, that conversation goes away when I log back in. This means that if the shortcut I was working on isn’t working yet I have to start all over again. I think this is a good start at something useful but it is still not close enough to feel, to me, like it is worth paying money for.

**Developer response:** Hey!

Thanks for the feedback! I will fix these bugs promptly.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-06-10*

Works really well. I struggle creating shortcuts so this is a game changer to be more productive. Would recommend this app to anyone who wants to use shortcuts but does not know how. Also great support team when I had an issue they responded quickly.

**Developer response:** ❤️
