## Shortcuts Description
Create custom automations or choose from hundreds of built-in actions in your favourite apps — like Calendar, Camera, Reminders and more — to help you accomplish everyday tasks with a simple tap from the Home Screen, by asking Siri, or even automatically.

Use the Shortcuts app to:

• Add a Home Screen icon that calls a loved one
• Make animated GIFs
• Make PDFs from Safari

And so much more...

Shortcuts opens up incredible possibilities to automate things you do regularly on your iPhone and iPad.

## Shortcuts Reviews in South Africa

### *---- "Notifications"
Can’t disable notifications. If I do they get re-enabled the next day. What is the point of automation if you’re gonna tell me about it every time
-- natediggygawg, 2025-07-28

### ***** "My honest review"
I love this app!!
-- Princess Dim dim, 2025-07-13

### ***** "The best"
This is the best apple 
app ever!!!!!!!!
-- Kayddddddddddddden, 2025-06-04

### ****- "Good"
Very good, I can script and it can pretty much fully control my iPhone… which I like. I like the customisation, but I mean this review doesn’t matter unless you for some reason uninstalled the app. But good for apple to include this with the iPhone.
-- Oscido dee, 2025-05-13

### ***** "Love it"
Without this app an iPhone is just a dumb phone.
-- Cute Caterpillars, 2024-11-24

### **--- "Shortcuts"
Ever since OS 18, shortcuts and automations stopped working. No fix.
-- F14help, 2024-11-20

### *---- "Auto play video and siri’s voice"
I got a problem of auto playing the video after i get the file can you give us the option to auto play video when i get the file And please return siri’s voice😕 I updated my software now siri’s voice does not sound the same and the worst part us I can’t change it like the last time Problem occurred in ios 15 latest update.
Now this app is slow when typing. The best became worst
-- sk3v9x, 2024-07-13

### ***** "Very useful but data base problems"
Shortcuts is really useful but my short cut database is getting problems and the app is forcing me to reset shortcuts and I lost all my short cuts sometimes it even doesn’t work making me delete the app and re-downloading it
-- Kccfcgfiif, 2024-03-31

### **--- "Becomes unresponsive very quickly."
The entire app becomes very unresponsive, very quickly.
-- padpatrollie, 2023-10-12

### ***-- "Great app buuuut"
I love that you can set things to happen whenever. My only issue is that for some reason, you can only schedule things for repeat action i.e daily, weekly, monthly etc. However there's no once off option. I found myself sending my boss the same question everyday at 08:00AM because I'd forgotten to turn it off and couldn't run the scheduled message sending only once 😡
-- Tshembani, 2023-08-28

### **--- "Unable to install"
App store just says unable to install try later. While.other apps are being installed on my phone without a problem at the same time on the same connection on the same device.
-- Psylockesa, 2023-08-23

### ***-- "Annoying banner notifications when you use a shortcut to open app"
The most annoying thing is the banner that shows up when u use a shortcut to open any app. Why is there no way to turn off these annoying notifications 😡🤬😤😡😡I already know I am using a damn shortcut why should it tell me every time!!!!!! Fix your silly app or we stop using it
-- Tess_theitgirl, 2023-07-22

### **--- "Voice jumps and errors"
The Irish voice is my preferred voice but I have to continuously tap the screen to get 2 words together without a jump or gap in the word.
There are often days where my automations just don’t run due to errors but worked fine on other days
The weather precipitation always says 0mm even though it’s pouring down.
The location weather for an event returns cannot convert errors
RSS feeds, the spoken feed doesn’t recognise the correct end of a title or sentence and thus reads it out in a very confusing mixed message with inflection in the wrong place 
Cannot set a Bluetooth connection to be my output in an automation can only set an if connected.

This app needs debugging.
-- Jax-username, 2023-05-21

### ***-- "AMAZING"
This app is one of the best widget apps ever it’s free but it does take a bit long I would like them to have more options but it’s great😁😁
-- Kittylover251, 2023-02-21

### ****- "Good but could be better"
this is a great app and i just recently started using it, although it could use some updates. In case point with every time you open the app it notifies you that it’s a shortcut in every single app and it’s quite annoying, if it could be added to switch off the notifications for opening every app that would great and make this app even better!
-- afaafh, 2022-12-05

### *---- "App compatibility"
This function is incompatible with so many apps, or had limited compatibility. For example for the calm app it just says play meditation and does not allow me to choose the meditation I like. Not compatible with Spotify, I won't get apple music for this. And not compatible with my lds gospel library app to read scriptures. These are my most important apps . so I have no use for this app
-- 9484749jfifjdbdhvs, 2022-09-24

### ***-- "Immensely useful with so much potential"
The app is amazing but as a lot of reviews say, please continue adding more features alongside more 3rd party support. 

One addition I would personally appreciate would be the ability to lower the ringer volume separately from the audio volume so as to adjust the alarm volume when sleep mode is activated.
-- Zi^2, 2022-08-28

### *---- "garbage"
lol
-- fvfgvbhhb, 2022-07-10

### ***** "Accept or deny option"
The app should have an Accept or deny option for incase someone is trying to hack your app. Great app
-- FloMT, 2022-05-19

### *---- "Half baked junk"
This is such a half baked attempt by Apple. Very disappointed. And disgusted. Half the automations give errors. Some of them don’t even work. Sending a message through telegram provides an Invalid recipient error for almost every legitimate telegram contact. I love your products Apple. But your software is starting to prove that Tim Cook is a terrible CEO. And Scott’s firing was a bad move.
-- JasunX, 2021-12-25
