### 1/5 — Ein Abo für eine Shortcutapp

*2020-11-27*

Habt ihr einen an der Waffel? Für was soll man denn hier bitte monatlich/jährlich Zahlen? Für ein paar Shortcuts auf dem Homescreen? Die kann ich mir doch genauso mit den Kurzbefehlen erstellen. Getestet und gelöscht.

### 1/5 — This is a joke right?

*2020-11-21*

App gives you 3 shortcut widget then tries to get you to buy a subscription for more uses or localized url schemes to add shortcut widgets to your phone. What an absolute shame and Apple needs to stop allowing app developers to do this. This is a single purchase app to unlock more widgets at most. 

Save your money and just use Apple shortcut app to do this and use their widgets or home screen icons. It may not be as pretty but at least you aren’t being scammed out of money for something totally local on your phone that doesn’t require the need for a subscription.
