Actions

just a suggestion, would you add a condition to check the current cellular type? I want to create a shortcut to change between 4G and 5G, the native shortcut can change the type but not able to retrieve the current type.

More triggers and processes for building your custom shortcut when the Shortcuts app doesn’t have the right action. Fuzzy Finder, for example, is great for searching a list without having to know the exact spelling. In te reo Māori it can help find results with and without worrying about those pesky macrons (eg ā, ē etc). Brilliant!

Though Actions is very similar to Toolbox Pro, there are numerous Actions available that Toolbox Pro doesn’t have, so if you’re someone who has seen this and ignored it due to that fact then I’d highly suggest giving it an opportunity! One Major difference of the two, currently, seems to be that unlike Toolbox Pro, Actions has an Active Developer that is consistently updating the app with bug fixes and loads of additional actions while Toolbox Pro’s Developer has begun to focus on their other apps/projects, which is understandable though still a tad disappointing… Personally, though, I know I’ve got high hopes for this App and it’s Developer(s)! I’ll definitely be in contact soon to suggest some of my ideas for additional actions! Thanks a Bunch for this App and Keep Up the Fantastic Work! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ EDIT (2 Years Later): I wanted to comment on this again and make some revisions to my initial review. I’ll start by commenting on the latter part of my initial review regarding the developer of Toolbox Pro. He, unfortunately, was ill… and terminally, if I’m not mistaken. He has since passed and may he rest in peace. The development of his apps were taken over by another group so no issues with updates now. Now, even with updates, Toolbox Pro and Actions still may have similar functionality but they do have many that are unique to their own apps. Also, after a bit of testing, I’ve found the Results of some of the Shared Actions seem to have some slight differences as Some offer Data Points that the other may not include. Also, I would love to see the developers of this app continue with the swift updates and additions. I’ve honestly yet to encounter any issues and couldn’t be happier. I’d love to get in contact with someone behind-the-scenes to be able to possibly offer some recommendations & suggestions for, both, current and future Actions. Please Reach Out if You’ll are at all interested!

It needs a function where you can define a function and calm up that same function and all the code in it whenever you want

It would be great if there was an action for changing name/icon/color of a shortcut.

Thank you for this. It’s essential for any semi-complex shortcut.

Please add "is device locked" so can turn the VPN off while I'm not using the phone

Such a function is very much needed. Forget to adopt it.

App is great and has many uses but should be more advance by using CoreML to do machine learning task like classifying input and images extracting details from images as in recognition not ocr . Also could you add smart notifications and screenshot webpage.. oh and live activity too 😁🥴

I am a copywriter, editor, and pulp fiction writer that has managed to downsize my work setup to just an iPad Air with Magic Keyboard and an external monitor. Everything works great — once I get the apps up and running! The problem was in creating an automated way to starting what I need, sending a message to my husband letting him know what I am doing (and whether or not he can drop in without texting first), and enabling the accessibility settings to make my life easy. Actions has solved that problem. The expanded options makes it easy for me to create a one-click solution that allows me to put in my earplugs, tug on my headset, and get to work. I have three custom actions enabled with the extra features Actions add to Shortcuts — start an hour writing session, start an hour dictating session, and return to normal life. All three icons are now just a tap away on my home screen. :)
