Amazing App!!!

I’ve wanted this app for a while, but only today did I get it and purchase the Premium, and I love it so much! It’s such a helpful app! I do have a few suggestions, and I may update them as I get to know this app better:

(1) Add an action that sorts numbers. Like, an action that takes a list of numbers and sorts them from highest to lowest, or lowest to highest.

(2) Make the ‘Is Premium Unlocked’ action free. Right now, it’s pointless because it only returns ‘true’ for users with premium access. Since you can’t run the action without premium, it never returns ‘false.’ Once premium is purchased, this action just confirms what the user already knows, making it redundant.

(3) Make a custom “Repeat” action, and make an “end repeat” action that will immediately end the loop if that action is run.

Thank you so much for this wonderful app!

Terrific addition for shortcuts

Whether you're just interested in tinkering with shortcuts or an experienced power user, this app is a terrific addition to your iOS shortcuts app! Some of the tools this app provides for your shortcuts are simply wonderful to be able to do with ease. Shortcuts are extremely powerful but limited by what actions Apple makes available - this app helps greatly with that. As a programmer, I absolutely love tinkering with shortcuts and making random things solely because I find it fun, and this app enables me to do so much more!

The If Or statement is completely busted

The update seems to have completed been killed with this last update.

If you use Shortcuts, you’ll want this

I use Shortcuts tons, and often ran into limitations where things were either difficult to do, or just not possible. This fixes almost all of the limitations that I have encountered.

I will say that you really do need the premium version of this app, as not many functions are available for free, and the ones that are aren’t too useful (for me anyway). It was only a one-time-purchase, and only £5 if I remember correctly, so pretty reasonable.

Overall, really good app - as long as you are happy to buy the premium version.
