Comments on File Shortcut for Android

★★★★★ Paul Dotterer · Mar 27, 2020
Simple & Works! My built-in file manager, which I like, won't let me name/rename its shortcuts. To rename with this app, just create new shortcut and delete the old. Duh! Custom icons are a real plus. Thanks!!!
★★★★★ Wayne Hynd · Mar 28, 2021
Works great! I quickly created a desktop shortcut to a web page. You can also create shortcuts to files on your phone. Worked perfectly my first time out. (Using Samsung Galaxy S9+)
★★★★★ Carol Chodes · Oct 9, 2021
It's great! Could not figure out how to create a shortcut to a .pdf file, then read that it couldn't be done without installing an app. Works perfectly on my Android 11 phone. Thank you so much!!!!!
★★☆☆☆ Carole Stevenson · Jan 31, 2023
Partial success would create shortcuts for jpegs but not PDF files. It just kept crashing.
★☆☆☆☆ Kenny Graham · Feb 23, 2022
Useless! Running on a One Plus 7t Pro, using Android 11. Every time I select a file using the 'file picker', the app just crashes. Wasn't allowed to score it zero stars.
★☆☆☆☆ Mike Koens · Jul 11, 2020
This app used to work well for me on my Samsung S8, but now installed it on my oppo A9, and it's not working, I have uninstalled and reinstalled it, but no change. When I find the file I want to create the shortcut to, and select it, and click "open", it just goes back to the home screen.
