Ratings and reviews

I LOVE this!!! I wish we could script it's commands more to directly access the features of installed apps, like typing "n.note" or "n" to quickly make a new note in an installed note editor, or so on. Buttons for these features are often made available in the notification shortcut panel. The widget feature is still experimental. It would be good if it could be polished. i noticed that I cannot scroll otherwise scrollable widgets. It would also be good to be able to set the width. Thank you!!

i don't think it'll recieve any new features any time soon, but if you take it for what it is rn, it's not even bad. It's a fully functional ping console, an app to view and search for local apps by apk name, if you are frequently working with local web files or want to open specific web links in specific apps, combine this one with "Choose Browser" or similar apps. The widged- and custom comand features are also neat. It's also a basic calc and converter, theoretically it's a basic launcher,...

Great app for searching apps and contacts with the additional capability of web search queries as well as calculations! Works fast and smooth. I have some feature requests: 1. Please add an option to display the search results starting from the bottom-up. This will make it more convenient for devices with big screens. 2. Please add a widget that has a more minimalist look.
