The end result is a link to a phone feature that should be on the Quick Access panel but for some reason Android decided quick access to the camera was not needed. The addition using this app looks just like one of the standard ones Android picks. The process to create the tile was "flashy" and should have had disco music playing at the same time. The length of time it took to solve my problem was less than a minute. Great App!

1- When I add a tile in quick setting and click on tile, it becomes active but tile icon still look like in active, it not changes the tile icon into active tile (highlighted), like phone default tiles do in quick setting. 2- when I long press on tiles in quick setting, tile shortcut app option, add option to disable or enable this activity. I don't want that.

Exactly what I needed. I found a bunch of garbage apps that didn't do what I needed which was to create simple app shortcuts for quick settings tile. This one is simple and concise. Well worth the premium even if you only need 4 tiles. 5 out of 5 for that. Update: I uninstalled it because of the delay opening applications. I understand that this is an android thing and not an application thing so although I'm not using it because of the delay, it's not the apps fault.

Can do little with the free version. Not enough to understand if it's worth it to pay for the premium version.

Good app I can make an app into shortcut but whenever I close the app I can no longer open the tiles it's just blank and cannot be tap, so I have to open the app again to open the tiles, so what's the point?? Need an update where we don't need to reopen the app to open re able the tiles!

I downloaded the app and explored its features. I found it very useful for starting Termux widgets, so I purchased the Pro version. However, I am unable to add widget shortcuts. When I select my Termux shortcuts, a popup appears asking to add them to the home screen instead of functioning as intended within the app... fix this I will update to 5 star... device: samsung a05s

Very bad design, unintuitive and no useful functions. Maybe in the paid version but without testing I won't buy anything.

Creates a tile named tile 1 then does nothing else. Tells me to add it to my shade which I already did. Maybe it's because I'm using a custom shade and can no longer open built-in system shade, but then it doesn't work for me.
