Ratings and reviews

Great app, but has a major flaw, and support is totally unresponsive. I created collections for all apps on my home screen, w/ hidden labels, but every time my phone restarts, every icon displays a label saying "Shortcut Maker." To make it worse, there doesn't appear to be a way to simply edit an existing icon to rehide the label...you have to completely recreate a new shortcut for the collection, with the label hidden. Would've given just one star, but it's a free app.

BEWARE!!! This just charged me $25.99 for the pro version which I did NOT authorize or initiate. This app used to be the best app for creating custom shortcuts. Sadly, it stopped working with Android 16 . I was hoping the dev would read the reviews & fix it that's why I left it installed. I haven't used it in months and today I see the charge on my debit card for $25.99 and I am PISSED. I've used it for years for free and now this. I would NEVER pay that much for an app.

I just spent 2 hours trying to create a customized icon. Every time I tried to save it in a folder, it told me there was no room. I tried everything. It wasn't until I came to reviews that I realized the app had been updated -- and not for the better. New update doesn't work properly. Also, I do not like that the format of the icon has changed and no longer matches previous versions.
