Actions for Positive User Reviews

Totally wonderfulNo complaints AND for free AND, critically, on the mac and ios? ty!!.Version: 1.13.1

Actions for Shortcuts app gets better & better!I have used the Actions app for several years now and with at ~300 shortcuts, I have found the app to be outstanding and the developer phenomenal. The app fills in needed actions and versatility where Apple’s Shortcuts app is lacking. Sindre Sorhus has impressed me with quick responses to the few issues that I have had over the years and the issue are usually fixed in a week or less, unlike Apple’s time frames of months to 2 years. I honestly don’t know how he does it all and he offers the Actions app for FREE!.Version: 2.10.0

One new action made my dayThe new option that checks to see if the device is locked allowed me to create a shortcut that runs whenever the device is plugged into power. If the device is unlocked, the shortcut gives me the option to change the screen timeout (and the new option lets me prevent an annoying error message). There is a lot more to the utility but this was enough to get me to write - THANKS!!.Version: 2.9.0

Essential for creating shortcutsThis app includes so many new actions that make the shortcuts app so much better, and I use them all the time. Very good app, highly recommended!!.Version: 2.3.1

Underrated app that makes shortcuts more convenientStumbled in to this app while trying to figure out how to customize action button..Version: 2.9.0

Works greatAdds a lot that Apple's missing..Version: 2.3.0

So perfectThis is just... *chef's kiss* thank you so much for this. i'm excited to see what else you add. possibilities are endless, and you've definitely made an incredible app here, friend.Version: 1.13.0

Amazing!!This app is incredible and the best part it’s free! I’m blown away so few people know about Actions.Version: 2.9.0

Can't belive its free, also please contackt Alex Hay's family about acquiring ToolBoxProIts probably too soon to say this, but tool box pro is a utility taht if lost will probably affect quite a lot of people in the Shortcuts community. I hope you would consider reaching out to his family about acquiring the app and merging it into actions or something like that..Version: 2.4.0

AmazingSeems like an amazing app. I’m new to iPhone iOS and shortcuts So I’ll have to see how to use it , but upon initial inspection, it looks good 😅😂👍🏾.Version: 2.4.0

Love this appIt’s got so many cool features, my only complaint is that it doesn’t work for versions below iOS 16.4, which I don’t have. :(.Version: 2.6.0

OUTSTANDING!I am thrilled to share my utmost positive review here! The Actions app is an outstanding application clearly developed with exceptional skills and expertise. It is with great pleasure that I express my gratitude and provide a glowing review for the remarkable software development. From my first experience with Sindre's applications, it was evident that their talents and creativity set them apart showcasing apps with an exquisite blend of functionality, usability, and aesthetic appeal. The level of commitment to delivering flawless user experiences shine through in every aspect of this app. It is an elegant, intuitive, and highly functional application. Sindre is a master craftsman of digital innovation possessing exceptional skills as an application developer, coupled with the ability to create seamless user experiences. The clearly visible technical expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence set Sindre's Apps apart in the field of software development. I look forward to future apps by Sindre as I'm convinced they are sure to exceed expectations and deliver exceptional results..Version: 2.10.0

A class act as alwaysIt’s been almost a decade since i went a week without using a product this man has touched. a true people’s champ, and these powerful shortcuts are just another drop in the bucket of good from this guy..Version: 2.3.1

Excellent additions!Please keep up the great work..Version: 1.3.0

Highly Recommend DeveloperAs I have found with other applications you have developed this is rock solid, quick, light on CPU and a breeze to use with a intuitive workflow Much appreciated, Thank you for providing another free app, with premium features included.Version: 1.5.0

Absolute must have for the new iPhone 15 proYou can fully customise the action button using this app so you can use the button for multiple functions!.Version: 2.9.0

Love this appThank you so much to the dev. Absolute lifesaver!.Version: 2.8.0

Great app, incredible supportWhen I first downloaded the app I was looking for a particular action. Upon closer inspection though the action desired wasn’t what I needed. I wrote a quick note to the developer and he responded within hours and literally the next day the action I was requesting was added to the app! This guy is GOOD!.Version: 1.13.0

Exactly what I needed and free!I really needed a shortcut to be able to detect when my iPhone was plugged into USB in my car vs just a normal charging cable. This absolutely gave me what I needed! I’m pretty surprised that Apple doesn’t provide this already, but oh well. I’m glad this exists. Now I just check if the audio output source is “USB Out” when a charging cable is plugged in and I can do what I need. Thanks!.Version: 2.3.1

Useful additions for free??? what's not to love!If you use shortcuts on your apple devices this is well worth your time to download, even if you use only one or two of the included actions it can make your shortcuts much more powerful. many thanks to the developer for writing this and being willing to give it away!.Version: 1.8.1

Lots and lots of Shortcut actionsIf you tinker around with Shortcuts, this adds a ton of additional useful actions. My top ones are Is Audio Playing and Is Connected to VPN..Version: 2.5.1

Fantastic - but one requestThank you very much for putting your time into creating this and especially for keeping it free of charge. would you consider adding motion-related actions? specifically, I'm looking to check the if the phone is facing up or down (which is Device.isFaceUp in Scriptable, where I'm coming from). much thanks in advance..Version: 1.11.0

PhenomenalWhat an incredibly great addon to shortcuts!! Adds some sorely needed actions to the app which can seriously improve the functionality and make more advanced shortcuts. Glad to have discovered it and look forward to seeing what else gets added!.Version: 2.10.0

InvaluableA previous reviewer stated the obvious, if this app goes away, a lot of people will be impacted. I hope that the developer and/or Apple can figure out a way to make sure that doesn't happen. On another note, the addition of the action to query ChatGPT is fantastic. It would be hugely valuable if there was a ChatGPT plugin for Actions that gave the LLM access to an up-to-date dictionary of the actions and how to use them in Shortcuts. The app is just Wow!.Version: 2.6.0

Fantastic for Power UsersThis app is for you if you’re the kind of power user with dozens of Shortcuts who has been frustrated by the limitations of the built-in actions. This app provides almost all the tools I’ve been missing, and it works amazingly well. I had tried another actions app before, but it had everything behind a paywall, and I wasn’t able to try a single action I was interested in. Actions, on the other hand, is free with no ads, so I was able to verify that it would satisfy my needs. I asked the author for one small feature, and he responded within hours to say it would be added in the next version. Happy camper..Version: 3.0.0

Great additions to shortcutsA great idea and useful collection for working with Shortcuts on a Mac. For those interested there are some useful items for working with lists and text..Version: 1.0.1

Some really useful actions when neededMore 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!.Version: 1.13.1

Doesn't work on homepod miniI've created shortcuts that have worked when asking homepod mini to run them. The only times it does not work is when this app is used within a shortcut. Other than that, it works great on iphone..Version: 1.12.0

Great appGreat app - your hard work is very much appreciated ⭐️.Version: 2.10.0

Amazing Shortcuts Add-OnThis app is an awesome extension for Shortcuts adding a bunch of features. It’s also available on Mac so shortcuts made using these actions can run on both iOS and MacOS..Version: 3.0.0

Your app catalog is amazing!Thanks for making such useful apps with good privacy practices too..Version: 2.8.1

Is Audio Playing?I looked everywhere for a way to determine if audio was playing for a Back Tap shortcut, and couldn’t do it without installing an app. This app works great..Version: 2.2.0

Terrific boost for ShortcutsThe dozens of shortcut actions offered by this app extend the usability of Shortcuts. And, they're almost all available on the iPhone and iPad. So user shortcuts become portable. Wow..Version: 2.2.0

Wow!Holy moly! This exists?? It’s amazing. It gives Shortcuts so much of the power that it really should have built in. Honestly, it’s silly that some of these functions aren’t built in, while Apple allows a third party developer to take care of it for us. But we’re fortunate that they did. And take care of us, this developer sure did. So many thanks for that!!.Version: 2.10.0

Excellent set of tools!This is a very nice set of actions for Shortcuts, perfect for any power user. I did find a bug with the list manipulation actions, although I’m not sure if it’s Actions’ or Shortcuts’ issue. To replicate the issue create a list, then perform an action such as “Reverse List.” Add a Stop and Output, or just output the resulting list and you’ll get a “The operation failed because Shortcuts couldn’t convert from Text to NSString.” This caused a lot of headaches in my more complex shortcuts, but I found performing a replace text action on the resulting list seems to be a way to get around this..Version: 2.3.0

Lots of extra actions now availableI can’t get over how progressive this app is in comparison to the shortcuts app itself. The developer has put a lot of effort into it and deserves some recognition. Well done mate, it’s helped me make a lot of shortcuts that I wouldn’t have been able to previously..Version: 2.9.0

Amazing work on this app.This is an amazing app to add to the functionality of native iPhone shortcuts. No annoying ads. A+!.Version: 2.4.0

Best developer award 2022!As determined by me. i know Sindre from github, one of best most creative developers in world. i would know, i review a lot of code, 5k+ repos. love ur work dude. was excited to see your name. peace out..Version: 1.5.1

Underrated, needs more publicityIt's very sad that Apple doesn't have this stuff alreadly built into shortcuts! This app is a lifesaver, thank you! :).Version: 2.10.0

A must have for any Shortcuts userGreatly expands what you can do with Shortcuts, is free, and the developer is always quick to respond to feedback and questions. If you use Shortcuts, you need to get this App..Version: 2.10.0

Actions is the missing Shortcuts stdlibIn my opinion pretty much all of the actions provided by this app should be in the standard library of Shortcuts. This app is fantastic, I just installed it yesterday and I already can't live without it. If you have an Action Button on your phone, you *must* install this app and start exploring what you can do with it..Version: 2.8.1

An essential app if you have iPhone 15 Pro seriesWork through shortcuts app.Version: 3.0.0

Great AppJust 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..Version: 3.0.0

Keep up the fantastic work.Thank you..Version: 3.0.0

Great DeveloperThank you for all the good stuff!.Version: 2.2.0

Great appThe latest app update introduces a wealth of new actions and shortcuts, enhancing user efficiency. Navigating through tasks has become seamless with the increased shortcut options, streamlining the overall user experience. These additions not only save time but also empowers me, making the app more versatile and user-friendly. Overall, the emphasis on actions and shortcuts significantly elevates the app's functionality. 4.7 stars.Version: 2.10.0

Really Easy to UseFills in the gaps to write shortcuts, for example global variables, sensor data, random data, etc. I really appreciate this app. 🙏.Version: 2.8.0

Most useful shortcuts appLove the CSV/JSON usages, use them all the time. Most of my shortcuts wouldnt be possible without it!.Version: 1.12.0

Great ShortcutsAmazing shortcuts available for free!.Version: 2.3.0

PerfectNo complaints. I like more actions..Version: 1.13.1

Great appHope apple allow haptic vibration while stay on background.Version: 2.9.0

Very usefulA great set of Actions. And free as well. A wonderful addition to your workflows..Version: 1.11.0

Completes shortcutsMakes shortcuts even more powerful. Love the orientation sense for the action button. Lets me activate a different camera mode depending on how I’m holding the phone..Version: 2.9.0

Essential shortcut appThis app is amazing and is a “must have” addition to shortcuts. It makes it easy to add those (how do I do that) actions. 5 out of 5.Version: 1.6.0

Absolute god sendThis software and more importantly the creator, Sindre Sorhus, are absolutely legendary. Must have for Shortcuts users..Version: 2.1.1

A very valued add on app.This is an active developer and he is very responsive to the end user. Actions app extends functionality of Shortcuts apps tremendously with 90 plus actions. The inclusion of actions Is Reachable (via HTTP response) and Ask for Text that includes a timeout option corrects a serious deficiency in the list of actions within the Shortcuts app. The Actions app is free and does not track data linked to you. Note that I’m not a fan of add ons, but this one is worth it! Oh, and it is easy to use with the built action straight forward explanation Info..Version: 2.0.1

Note for 2.0 updateIf Shortcuts can’t see Actions after 2.0 update - restart your device.Version: 2.0.0

Great appMakes Shortcuts much more useful. Especially for me the"get audio source". Thank you!.Version: 1.13.1

Cannot understand why this amazing app is freeThank you, Sindre Sorhus, whoever you are, for making this necessary addition to the Shortcuts app. Among other things, these actions are just necessary to make the new Action button work usefully (by checking device orientation)..Version: 2.10.0

Amazing app!This is a great addition to shortcuts that adds a lot of new functions for FREE! There are similar apps out there that charge upwards of £5! Thank you dev!.Version: 1.5.1

Simple and very usefulThis has allowed me to create a shortcut to finally REALLY check if the internet is working even if the local network is otherwise fine. Simple and very useful..Version: 2.9.0

Is lockPlease add "is lock device" so can turn the VPN off while I'm not using the phone.Version: 2.10.0

Must have if you even casually use shortcutsThe shortcuts app is a lot less powerful without this app. There are so many useful additions here that it seems weird that apple didn't include these built in. This app also contains more actions than toolbox pro, and is completely free and non-data tracking to boot..Version: 1.13.1

Super Useful!If you want to up your Shortcuts game and don’t have the inclination or experience to code your own additions, this is a great starting point. I’ve seen several shortcut samples from other sources that build from these additions as well. And as of now it’s totally free. Thanks!.Version: 2.9.0

Action buttonA wonderful app. Really makes the action button shortcuts useful..Version: 2.9.0
