Really helpful app. My only suggestion would be to add the "Switch to previous app" shortcut that Edge gestures uses. Would be very helpful to use alongside other macro apps.

Powerful app for making your Android phone more convenient to use. Took a bit of time for me to understand the potential benefits (I'm using it in conjunction with the Square Home launcher) - well worth the effort!

A lot of shortcuts to launch them with third party apps. For example My Gestures. I didn't manage to get working fast-forward function sadly.

WARNING: Had an issue with Power Shortcuts icons/names turning generic repeatedly. Contacted dev, he says Power Shortcuts doesn't work properly with Nova Launcher, a launcher known as friendly with 3rd party icons. Dev doesn't warn of Nova Launcher incompatibility before purchase. Don't purchase if you use Nova Launcher. RESPONSE: Only occurs with Power Shortcuts, I've never had issue with any other shortcuts or icons, so Power Shortcuts is assigning icon/name incorrectly somehow, apparently.

Garbage I was forced to use because Folder in Folder app by same author won't allow adding shortcuts without. Worse, even with "support non-launchers" checked, I still can't find where I can create what Android formally calls a shortcut

Doesn't work and it cannot be refunded. There is no way to try it without paying. The free to try apps work fine. This does not I tried to make shortcuts to PDF in total launcher on my home screen. It doesn't load. I added a star because after playing around for over an hour I got my PDF to load, but I cannot use moon reader. Had to install adobe. This app needs more instructions for the unfamiliar.
