Comments on Shortcut Maker for Android

★★★★★ Rv · Oct 23, 2026
Excellent app. As browsers insist on installing apps rather than adding the shortcut I want this gives me back control. The ability to target Activities and Intents provides some proper techie level customization that Android and Launchers hide. Minor points: 1. On new 1x1 Widget type the icon txt is always tiny whatever size you set. 2. I would like to be able to edit existing icon from launcher (MS). Don't know if it's possible. Thanks for this wonderful app.
★★★★★ Ed Martin Crisostomo · Sep 11, 2026

★★★★★ umme kulsum nira · Sep 27, 2026
Best best best the best app of this kind. Thanks to you, I can add websites to my home screen even tho my launcher doesn't allow 💚💚
★★☆☆☆ D Oberry · Oct 2, 2026
I loved this app, I made my phone all cute, but now when I make a shortcut, it has an ugly gray border around it and the shortcut watermark with makes it and eyesore. I miss the old version.
★★☆☆☆ Terry Gardner · Oct 30, 2026
You can't name the shortcut properly without making it too big. You and only see the first 4 letters of the shorts name then .... spoils it really.
★☆☆☆☆ HackoTacko · Oct 29, 2026
Used it for a long time, but since latest updates I can't create shortcuts anymore for system-apps like "Files", "Screen recorder" etc.... System-apps don't even show up in the menues
