5/5Terrific addition for shortcuts
Whether you're just interested in tinkering with shortcuts or an experienced power user, this app is a terrific addition to your iOS shortcuts app! Some of the tools this app provides for your shortcuts are simply wonderful to be able to do with ease. Shortcuts are extremely powerful but limited by what actions Apple makes available - this app helps greatly with that. As a programmer, I absolutely love tinkering with shortcuts and making random things solely because I find it fun, and this app enables me to do so much more!

2/5Global Variables are less helpful than expected.
The way the Check if Global Variable Exists box is formatted is awkward and doesn’t perform the task I was trying to accomplish. I was trying to create an If that would have a specific output only if the Global Variable had a certain value. When you create the variable, it only allows you to input text. However, when you add the Check if Global Variable Exists box and select that input for the If, then select “Is” for the relationship between the variable and the value, it only allows you to enter a number for the value. I would suggest a box that simply retrieves the Global Variable value with an input slot that, when selected, will display all of your preexisting Global Variables to choose from. This would make the Global Variables much more useful.

1/5Needs to be free for 4 or more of so hours after downloading
So we all know that shortcuts is iffy sometimes. and what you think will work may not actually work! so this app needs to let you use everything for free for the next couple of hours after installation, so you can see if your idea works and if it does you know it would be a good investment to pay the premium! but how it is now you can’t even try it for free so what end up happening is someone would buy the app pay the premium charge because they think there idea will work in shortcuts but then, it doesn’t. and there angry because to them they feel like they wasted money or time trying to get a refund. so there really should be a free few hours after first use of the app so people can actually tell if it’s what they need.

5/5Phenomenal!!!
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!

5/5Awesome
This 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.
