Lets me add actual website shortcuts to my launcher instead of having to install a "Progressive Web App" meaning that with Power Shortcuts, the shortcut opens in a full browser window with navigation features and tabs, the way I want a website to work.

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.

Great app for advanced users android users that like to tinker with their device's. Can make shortcuts to apps & settings that aren't normally available. If you're a basic Android user with little knowledge of how things work, then I'd stay away from this app unless you're willing to learn without complaining or leaving a bad review.

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.

I get an error "Power Shortcuts: failed" sometimes?? I just have a simple play/pause Key code button. There rlly shouldn't be that much to go wrong half the time 🙄

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.
