Ratings and reviews

The app performs as expected, has worked great, AND does what I need flawlessly. Despite a learning curve for new users (maybe? probably), I had a really good idea of what I was doing, and I still needed to glance at the documentation. It's there and makes onboarding easy. Happy I finally remembered today to buy it 🤩💯🥳 TL;DR: It's worth the price, iykyk.

❤️ Add easy order change please ❤️ This is a super useful app! Almost perfect, just needs the ability to manually re-order options. The choice screen could also look nicer, probably device specific, I'll email dev a screenshot to show what I mean. Especially impressed with automatic search URL detection.

Simple and useful!

What’s new

Preserved dialog state after minimizing the app, fixed popup border/+ button styling, and improved launcher icon rendering. Removed unused Shortcut Category fields from Enter Manually and Detect from URL. Updated shortcut messages to include names and show bulk-add counts. Added regression fixes/tests for validation, list diffing, and memory/background behavior.
