Toolbox Pro for Shortcuts for Positive User Reviews
✓ I’d rate this 10 if I could!This app and developer are amazing! I wanted to create a more natural conversation between myself and Siri where she’d ask a question and based on my answer would complete a task. However I wanted to make it so I didn’t have to say 1 trigger word, instead I wanted to say 1 out of 5+ common words. This genius was super helpful in replying back to me and with a helpful link to a shortcut he created during our conversation. Turns out he created a built in system using IF OR making the Natural Language Parser shortcut!! keep doing what your doing!! Much Appreciated.Version: 2020.5
✓ A Must HaveI seriously can’t make a shortcut now a days without using at least one action from this app! And the developer keeps adding more and more so frequently, it’s well worth the price! Support this guy, we need more actions!.Version: 2019.6
✓ Amazing utility! Must have!I love this app, it allows me to make much better looking and more powerful shortcuts. Love it! I wanted to add to this review. I’ve been using this amazing utility more and more and each day I’m continually amazed by the amount of much needed function this app adds. Seriously, I can’t recommend this enough. If I could rate higher than 5 I would!.Version: 2020.5
✓ RIP Alex Hay. You will be missedToolbox Pro has been an invaluable tool to so many Shortcuts users. Sadly the developer, Alex Hay, recently lost his battle with cancer and passed away. TBH until I heard of his passing through a story on MacStories I didn’t even know who the developer of Toolbox Pro was. It was a good reminder to me that many of the apps I use and rely every single day aren’t made by some billion dollar big corporation but by real people who have a family, go through life issues like everyone else and most aren’t making a ton of $$ developing the apps we depend on. Alex and his family’s struggles were even bigger than many of us will ever face. So before you write a review or a feedback email ripping a developer try to remember they’re a person. We’re all imperfect and some people may be going through a major life issue that you’re unaware of. Toolbox Pro made Shortcuts so much better by including actions that Apple either forgot to include or simply wouldn’t include. It would be nice if Apple would buy Toolbox Pro from Alex’s family. It wouldn’t bring him back or make their loss any easier but it would help them during a time where they may be struggling financially. Apple in return would improve Shortcuts, make users happy and show their support for the developer community. Rest in peace Alex. You will be missed by many..Version: 2021.4
✓ RIP Alex, you are my inspirationI’ve been using Toolbox Pro for as long as I can remember. When I first downloaded the app I was blown away by the number of actions and how easy of an app it was to use. I proudly paid for premium and still use the app daily in my shortcuts. I was incredibly saddened to hear of his passing as he was (and still is) such an inspiration to me as someone studying CS. I hope that one day I can be half the developer Alex was. I hope development continues but what’s most important is remembering his legacy. It’s worth the download even if some actions may not work pending future iOS updates. Sending my condolences to his family and friends who are grieving ❤️.Version: 2021.4

A must have tool for anyone really wanting to automate in iOS..Version: 2020.4
✓ UPDATED: Amazing tool, and the developer will be missed 😔I didn’t the developer passed away until reading reviews here in the App Store. 😔 This is an amazing app that helped me gain an understanding of how shortcuts work, and helped my programming knowledge over all. I highly recommend it, even though it has not been updated and likely will be sunsetted. It levels Iup your shortcuts to a new degree of functionality. I appreciate all the dev has done for our community 🕊️.Version: 2021.4
✓ Nice but not optimized for iPhone XThe layout on an iPhone X seems to be broken. I can’t use the search as it’s behind the notch. Otherwise great app..Version: 2020.3

✓ So so greatThanks Alex for making Shortcuts even better. The new release is excellent. File and Folder bookmarks are a huge addition..Version: 2020.6
✓ This is crazy powerfulI wouldn’t care if I had only used this for *one* shortcut—it would pay for itself with that one! This has so many features, I can’t imagine even being able to use half of them!!!.Version: 2021.4
✓ Add more power to your shortcutsI've been using Toolbox Pro since it launched and its awesome. It adds so much more power and flexibility to your shortcuts. I use their awesome rich menus, extra calendar event controls, and I'm having a lot of fun with the emoji icon creator..Version: 2020.5
✓ Love it! But...I love this app! I use RoutineHub, so I can give people updates through the check for updates tool! I just wish 1 thing, PLEASE Make authentication with Face-ID and Fingerprint free! That is the 1 feature I rly want, but it costs 6.00. Please make it free!.Version: 2020.6
✓ Incredible app with continuous potentialThis app is amazing for users that want to get into using Shortcuts in their daily routine as well as learning the basics of Shortcuts in general. I love it, you can’t go wrong with this app..Version: 2019.3
✓ So sad to hear about the developer, app still has great valueSo sad to hear about the developer, app still has great value. Maybe one day someone can pick up working on it. This app extend the ability of shortcuts, offers many tools..Version: 2021.4
✓ Toolbox Pro makes Shortcuts easierI downloaded Toolbox Pro months ago because of a MacStories recommendation but I hadn’t used it much. Today it showed its value. I needed to grab 20 photos from my phone, shrink them, change their format, zip them and upload them to Dropbox. A Shortcut I made in about a minute did the job and was only possible to do that quickly because of capabilities provided by Toolbox Pro. THe new functions it adds are powerful, intuitive and invaluable..Version: 2020.6
✓ SuggestionI want there to be a menu where you can add folders on the first page or a shortcut and shortcuts can go in the folders and make it like assistive touch.Version: 2021.3
✓ User friendly appI am new to Toolbox. And very impressed with how well it's programmed to be user friendly. Good examples, too. As a career software designer and programmer, I compliment the care taken on the design of Toolbox. Austin, Texas.Version: 2020.4
✓ A must have shortcuts companion.Every person interested or currently making shortcuts app shortcuts needs this app. It opens up endless possibilities for new shortcuts and contains actions that will blow your mind and befuddle you for Why they werent already included in the shortcuts app..Version: 2021.4
✓ Adds what’s missing from the shortcuts appEssential tools that enhance shortcuts giving you far more options when creating shortcuts..Version: 2020.6
✓ If you use Shortcuts, get this!The new functionality it provides is great. It adds functions within Shortcuts without any hassle. All you do is install the app and boom!.Version: 2021.2
✓ Worth the price first time I used it!I found it worth the price of in just two weeks for fully unlocked access! I had been emailed images of text documents that I needed to quickly edit. Instead of laboriously transcribing the text via keyboard, I used the example Scan Text shortcut in Toolbox Pro to convert the images of text into text files, saving me a huge amount of manual typing. If you are serious about using or creating your own shortcuts, I highly recommend this app..Version: 2019.4
✓ Creative + Impressive + Really Useful!I love how creative this app is in providing useful functionality to the Shortcuts app. The actions it adds are really impressive and look like Apple implemented actions with how slick they are. I use Shortcuts on a daily basis and Toolbox Pro actions are in a lot of those actions. I’m also really impressed with how transparent the developer is on Twitter. They’re open to input and share upcoming features with their community. I give this app 5 stars because of how impressive it is plus how impressive the developer is. Looking forward to seeing where this app goes especially as Shortcuts evolves over time and (hopefully) allows devs to access even more functionality in iOS and iPadOS!! Thank you!!.Version: 2020.4
✓ A Fantastic ProductIf you are interested in adding enhanced features to your shortcuts then don’t hesitate to buy the full premium version of this incredibly will polished app, that adds real unique features to the ShortCuts suit of actions. This app is worth every cent..Version: 2020.4
✓ AwesomAwesome app it really makes regular shortcuts 10 times better when used together. I wish more apps like this will keep coming. I have been self teaching myself since I got the scriptable app. it’s slow going but with apps like this it helps..Version: 2020.6
✓ AwesomeThanks for this! Amazing toolset of options added..Version: 2019.3
✓ Good app, very helpful in little waysVery little things that Apple missed, but make a huge difference. Well worth it. Even to unlock everything..Version: 2019.4
✓ Sad day…It made recent news in the Shortcuts community that Mr. Alex Hay (the developer of this wonderful app) just passed away. It is with a heavy heart I place this review, as it is quite possibly the most useful shortcuts extension available. May Mr. Hay rest in peace..Version: 2021.4
✓ Great extensions to Shortcuts!These extensions make Shortcuts really useful. Most of my use has been around Photo Shortcuts and was delighted to be able to automate Album creation. Well worth the purchase if you use shortcuts at all..Version: 2021.4
✓ When it works it's awesomeI don't do s ton of shortcuts so i don't use this as much as i should. But i love it when it helps me solve a problem. I also want to thank the new dev team for carrying on this app. You honor Alex's work..Version: 2023.1
✓ Thank You Alex HayI’m aware I’m not the average shortcuts user. Where as most people use it to automate things, I use it to make games. Need to get a head start on my career somehow, eh? The Global Variables system has done WONDERS for my RPG! My players can now save their name, their gold, and their inventory! None of this would be possible without Alex Hay. Thank you for inspiring my programming career. Rest In Peace. o7.Version: 2024.0.1
✓ Apple should include this by defaultThis has so many features for making shortcuts to that I don’t understand why apple has not implemented them into shortcuts for example you can’t trigger the Taptic Engine unless you use a third party app like this.Version: 2019.4
✓ Great additional options to shortcutsGreat additions for the shortcuts app. Would be great if there was a select option for playlists though..Version: 2020.4
✓ Doubled and halved my productivityHuge productivity booster for me, especially with global variables, dictionary editing and list manipulation. Then I spend all my new time stuffing around with menus and photo albums. If you use Shortcuts at all, it’s a no-brainer..Version: 2020.5
✓ Phenomenal!!!If you’re serious about shortcuts and you understand most of the logic within it this app is a MUST HAVE. my only current request i can think of which i don’t think is possible is the ability to detect if other apps are open in the background. this would be useful for me as a door dash driver to have maps automatically open back up after a timer if i’m in a location and another app i use for dashing is open. Thats all for now regardless this app is priceless!.Version: 2021.1
✓ Can’t fault it.This app turbo charges your shortcuts as well as makes them easier to build. Also a very generous selection while free. Can’t get any better. Well it does. The developer is an absolute legend and isn’t one of those €#*+’s that love to run with an over priced monthly subscription model. Honestly I thought the one off purchase was just for a month. More than reasonable and I will most definitely be contributing to the tip jar when I’m back working. Nothing to hate and everything to love about this app. To the developer. Hats off to ya for being decent and reasonable in what you do. Sharing the knowledge doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. Thank you..Version: 2021.4
✓ Very powerfulA very powerful app that unlocks the potential of Shortcuts..Version: 2021.4
✓ May you rest in peaceAmazing app by someone who was and is an amazing developer. May he rest in peace..Version: 2021.4
✓ Pretty good, but notifications are buggyA couple issues: - attachments don’t show up (tested with audio, photos, video — nothing works even though the api says it should) - in shortcuts, the form is implemented in some weird kind of way that causes overflow formatting bugs. Can’t get to the top or bottom in various cases when trying to edit the action in Shorcuts..Version: 2021.4
✓ Alex Hay was capable and kind - an exemplary developerEach time I use Toolbox Pro, I think of the brief interaction we had about his app. It has stayed with me. I appreciate his gift to the community. Using talents in this way always came across as a labor of love..Version: 2024.0.1
✓ AwesomeThis app has so many amazing functions, but my favorite is the Global Variable tool. If you’ve used shortcuts much at all, you’ve almost certainly had a moment when you wish that a shortcut could have some kind of memory. To know if it’s been run that day, or to remember a piece of information that changes. A score for a game, a simple tally, and countless other uses. Well that’s exactly what Global variable does. Beyond that, toolbox pro has lots of great functions that shortcuts can’t normally do, and even more functions that you could pull off in the shortcuts app, but that would be so cumbersome that they’re not worth it. But in Toolbox Pro, it’s right there, and works just the way it says. Seriously, if you like shortcuts at all, download this..Version: 2020.5
✓ Stuff your phone can do - now from Shortcuts!Great app, links Shortcuts with all the functions of your phone - image recognition one of my favourites! Plus adds some useful scripting actions like de-duplication and if or! Any chance of a Mac app??!.Version: 2021.4
✓ Worth the priceI was a little worried at first when the price was 6 dollars, but it turned out to have the things I wanted and more!.Version: 2020.6
✓ Ability to share all shortcuts as one link please?I just got this app and can’t wait to dive in. But if there isn’t a feature to share Multiple shortcuts at once and for the other person to easily download them in one tap. I’m begging you guys to please add it!.Version: 2020.5
✓ Supercharges shortcutsI’m very delighted with it and have been using it for a few years. It’s just allowed me to use shortcuts on a new level. I’ve also had a lot of fun playing around with other functions it adds which I’ve never thought to use. Great job developer..Version: 2021.4
✓ Way to many premium ToolsSome tools like “get connection stats” have no use as the tools that go with it are premium.Version: 2020.4
✓ Shortcut example bugIf you try to get a example shortcut it says not found or deleted shortcut and it won’t work, other then that good app. BUT PLEASE FIX THIS!.Version: 2021.1
✓ Amazing utility from a fantastic developerDo yourself a favour and buy the IAP!.Version: 2020.5
✓ The missing functionality in ShortcutsThis app is amazing. If you want to unlock the real potential of Shortcuts, download it right away!.Version: 2019.3
✓ Excellent!!! but my favourite feature....Authentication is really great feature but somehow the one you provided doesn’t work properly. When the authentication is just promoted on the toolbox app from one shortcut and I want to carry out another authentication for another shortcut, the page where it says “Authentication result copied to clipboard” isn’t closed— therefore slows down the progress for carrying out another authentication from other shortcuts. Consequently, before it even finishes— with the built-in URL to go back to shortcut, it runs too fast and go back to the shortcut app and I’m left being denied. However, I found a solution. I made all of my shortcuts that require authentication to involve copying “a certain phrase” to the clipboard. Then I create an automation for every time the toolbox app is opened, it does this: If the clipboard contains “the certain phrase”— then waits for 2-3 seconds (so that the authentication is promoted properly); then once the “wait” finishes, it opens up the shortcuts app. if success (clipboard true), it replaces “the certain phrase” with whatever—and carry out the preferred shortcuts. By adding this your authentication feature works perfectly..Version: 2020.1
✓ RIP - still best shortcut helper appThis is a fantastic app and I am sad to loose the original developer (Alex), but so excited that this app is under a new developer. I have the Pro Version, but I Suggest people support the effort by tipping. It is a worthwhile cause if you do anything with shortcuts..Version: 2023.1
✓ Absolutely incredible extension to Shortcuts!Overall I’m extremely happy with this app. It provides a lot of convenience for Shortcuts creators and also allows for some new tricks that weren’t possible before. If you have made more than a handful of more advanced Shortcuts then this is an essential app for you to check out. The user friendliness is a bit poor for some certain actions which require jumping back and forth between Shortcuts app and Toolbox Pro (especially those where Wait to Return isn’t viable) and I hope there is a way to improve this in the future..Version: 2019.4
✓ Must haveThis is a must have app if you're doing anything more than the basics in Shortcuts. It's shocking that these functions aren't built into the main app. RIP Alex..Version: 2021.4
✓ Shortcuts SuperchargedLike shortcuts? Get this app. Update: once again I can’t believe this app exists and if you use shortcuts you should already own it. Please Apple, give this dev a bunch of money and make these native shortcut actions..Version: 2021.1
✓ Fantastic AppI have used this app ever single day for many years. Its an excellent app and a must have for anyone who uses Shortcuts..Version: 2021.4
✓ Awesome app, worth every centThe developer of this app, Alex, is on it. Constantly adding features and the support can’t be beat. If you like to automate and use Siri Shortcuts, you’ll probably encounter a point where you’ll ask why didn’t Apple include this feature? It’s very likely that feature is in Toolbox Pro. Highly recommend!.Version: 2020.6
✓ It’s amazing.This app is amazing Pretty please ‘Make Live Photo’ Action?!?!.Version: 2021.1
✓ Fly on, Alexander HayThrough your apps (such as this one) I, a mere designer, for the first time found myself at long last beginning to understand programming, a concept I’d long since dismissed as impossible. You will never know just how much you meant to so many people, how many lives you enriched. Thank you, friend. For you there is no more sorrow and no more pain. (My sincere condolences to his loved ones; may you, in time, find healing ❤️🩹)..Version: 2021.4
✓ Worth it for the Premium VersionThis adds so many tools to Shortcuts that it is completely worth the one-time price to unlock all the actions. This is a game-changing app for those who like to automate with shortcuts..Version: 2020.1
