Really good and useful. The only thing I can think of can be added is a better search option. Like when we search keywords related options will come. Right now we need to search exact settings. Other than that it's absolutely great!! Well done!👍🏻👏🏻

Update major error... App updated last night, opened one of my activity launcher shortcuts and was met with the settings to create that activity again along with a pop-up saying it now has ads, went through the process and paid the money to remove the ads, it then took me to a different version of the app on the Play Store and wanted me to install it, I tapped install and then met with an error that it couldn't download and install this different version. Fail.

Hopeless App. Search is highly ineffective. If one tries to find 'Lock Apps' [MIUI Security> Boost Speed> Lock Apps], one will never find THIS IMPORTANT SUB-SETTING in the app. Many activities are NOT LAUNCHED. The app pops up errors launching activities. NEVER UPDATE this app. As the updated version 2.4.0 knocks off your precious Home screen shortcuts. Less utility but MORE PUBLICITY app. I paid for the app but it NEVER INSTALLED. Play Store PROMPTLY refunded me on 8 July 2026.

Used to work great but shortcuts creation doesn't work anymore. Tapping created shortcuts either does nothing or opens the shortcut creation menu. Weird
