Shortcuts App Reviews

Workflow is a wonderful result of the new access developers are allowed in iOS 8. It makes so many tasks that were previously tedious or impossible on iOS8, and the app is augmented by its large following who are pumping out interesting recipes at an amazing pace. I think it will take time for the true potential of the app to be realized, but its promise is already clear, and with the 1.1release the developers show they are clearly listening to user feedback.

Love the app but... One annoying bug is that the "add the workflow to Homescreen function" is not working. The icon appears on the homescreen but when pressed, nothing happens

Automator for iOS.

I do not want to make an animated gif.Give me a manual and dont force me through a useless tutorial.

This app is definitely on track to something incredible. Developers, think of the potential if you can integrate with IFTTT. Endless possibilities.

Great app. Worth the money.

The Workflow app is a powerful automation tool for iDevices that extends the usefulness by at least 10x. The capabilities of this app are fabulous and they are expanding its scope rapidly with frequent updates---keep up the great work. I rate the app as 5-star because it is so revolutionary and it is evolving quickly. It does have a couple of bugs and rough edges, but even at this early stage, it is incredibly useful and a lot of fun. I cant recommend it enough!

The more I use this app and discover actions that can be done, the more I think that creating a workflow can be faster than using my PC for some operations. Good job guys, keep adding more actions to it.

Dragging Tumblr post action crashes the app.

Workflow allows you to automate the use of your iPhone and iPad in ways you couldnt even imagine. It keeps getting better with each release.

Not a big one for writing reviews. But this app is different. Its fresh. Its freedom. It gives us the power iOS has historically taken away. If you like logic problems this is a real world tool you will love to use to solve real problems. Hats off to the developers. Presented with the new features of iOS 8 they opted not to actually write an app but developed a way to unleash the power of your other apps! ;) What did I use the tool for you ask? I often take photos of the data closets at my place of work. I used this tool to take a photo, reduce its resolution, ask me for location details from predefined lists, then email the collected data including the image with common subject to make these emails easy to find in my inbox. That was the first personal solution I built. Its beautiful. Hats off to the developers. Work of art!

Thanks for this innovative, user friendly, well designed and useful app!

This app has made the iPad/iPhone so much more powerful that I can now do about 99% of all daily task on them just as well if not better then I could on a desktop or laptop. It is one of those that really couldn’t do without. Very very well done. Can’t wait to see what is in store for this app!!! :D

I absolutely love this app! Takes something annoying like posting across multiple social media profiles and makes it completely painless. Dont know what Id do without it now! And completely customizable too!

This is a great app but for me there is not enough action for the basic iOS app. Like clock, alarm, the and timer. There some suggestions that will , on my opinion, help other user to make more advance WorkFlow Please add the Philips Hue control. Add receive SMS/MMS trigger from specific contact for iOS. Add the positivity to creat an alarm in the iOS clock app. And add a "repeat/until" - event -action; like sms, time. The possibility to add the detection of iOS notification. So for an example: I have a appointment at 13h. The WorkFlow will be able to alert me if my GPS position is limit to get in time at my appointment location. So it can alert me and say " you have to leave now to get in time." See what I mean? And the most an coolest for me is the possibility to run those WorkFlows in background. So we dont need to see the WorkFlow app open all the time. Specially for WorkFlows using "repeat" action and in the future alarm, count down timer and more. Thanks for your food support P.O.

Clever and beautiful, but not all that useful is probably the best way to describe this app. I dont need to create a workflow for my phone to remind me of something when I get home, I simply tell Siri. Similarly, I dont need a workflow to start an Evernote recording, or similar. Services like Zapier and IFTTT work because they make other services better, but Workflow mainly succeeds in making apps more complex.

Great app with a growing community of Workflow nerds. If you like automation, this is your app.

Not on your website

Its so much fun creating custom mini-apps that glue the whole iOS experience together. Most of the small annoyances I run into each day have become Workflow actions. Super cool.

After iOS 8.4 the app cannot make pdf in safari. After making a pdf, the action window disappears very quickly every time making it impossible to either see or save the pdf.
