Ratings and reviews

Great app so far and has access to shortcuts many other shortcut makers don't have. Also, the data loss warning is only stated because it gives you access to many different settings and if you just mess around with a setting you have never heard of then you could accidentally change something you don't want. That's like a file browser saying be careful or data loss since you are messing with files and data. This app won't ruin your phone especially if you know what setting you want to access.

This app saved me after SEVERAL hours of searching for a way to copy my Google Drive backup data from my old phone to my new phone without having to factory reset it again. Wasn't able to restore my data at first because I didn't have access to WiFi but Google allows absolutely no way to do so after the fact. Not to mention the backup feature itself doesn't work unless you disable lock screen security/smart lock on your phone. But a random forum pointed me here and it worked beautifully. Thanks!

So useful. After an 'update' where Google removed the driving dashboard, I was stuck with my phone launching a web page about how to use the driving assistant every time it connected to my car's bluetooth. And because the menu was gone (or rather, hidden) the only thing I could do was forget it and start again. However, this tool shows that the settings are still there and can be changed. This is saying nothing about the different shortcuts the app allows you to create to streamline things. A+
