Widget doesn’t update

I took the time to create a shortcut, added it to WidgetPack but the actual widget doesn’t update like it should. It shows that it’s updated in WidgetPack but the widget itself just sits there. Really annoying to spend the money and time, and it doesn’t even do what it says it does.

Just as complex as the Shortcuts app - only it’s not free

From what I can tell, this app offers nothing more than the shortcuts app already offers. Way too complex if you’re not a coder or have some experience in that field. Waste of money

Invalid shortcut file

Running shortcut grid now says Invalid shortcut file after upgrading to iOS 15 and the new update for WidgetPack. Please fix.

Excellent, with steep learning curve

Pulls together the use of shortcuts, widgets & automations.

I’ve made loads of shortcuts for all different things, and a good chunk of them are automated to run at specific times and send me a notification of the result. I’ve got these for ‘quotes for the day’, which plants need watering today, etc.

Now, instead of using a notification, I display the results on a widget on my Home Screen.

I’ve removed a star because as awesome as this app is, it’s a steep learning curve that could have been helped with some decent tutorials. I’m still getting to grips with the different ways you can customise widgets, but excited to learn more.

Be prepared for a lot of trial and error.

This app is so much better & different than the others

Totally standalone in the field. Sorry this sounds so nerdy it makes beautiful widgets that are truly useful!!
