Ratings and Reviews
Exactly what I was looking for
That’s pretty much the kind of functionality I would expect from Apple themselves (I already used aliases on my macintosh’s desktop 30 years ago… I was 6 years old 🤨!)
But so happy that someone smart did the job for them ! It’s still a bit rough on the edges but I guess widgets don’t allow much freedom to program with…
One feature I miss though : being able to rename the shortcuts to make them shorter in the context of the app ( i want to keep the original file or folder name untouched ) otherwise it’s unreadable.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your great feedback. I am highly appreciating it and will give my best to make the experience even better.
Great but why can’t the home screen work like the lock screen?
There is no way to make it go directly to my file/folder rather than to the app first?
It does it with the lock screen option.
Also pictures for file logos or something would be nice if possible.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your feedback and your rating. I will keep the hint regarding custom file icons in mind for the upcoming updates. Regarding the app first approach after tapping a shortcut, I have no influence unfortunately, as iOS links to the app first to handle any widget tap. In case of the lock screen, the action is called immediately from system in the current state of the operating system. Kind regards, Marian Koenig
Great shortcut to files
Quick way to organize your folders and files and have a shortcut directly to the folder you want. Not sure if it works with shortcut to folders within Dropbox or OneDrive, etc but that isn’t my use case. Love this handy app.
Developer Response ,
Thanks a lot for this nice feedback. Dropbox & OneDrive are supported via the 3rd Party Link feature, which is explained via a tutorial within the app. I am happy that the app serves you well. Kind regards, Marian Koenig
