| 2024-08-16 |  | | I use this for the (many) Amazon returns I do since my wife got into online shopping. My biggest issue is that the title is truncated when shown on the screen; it would be useful to be able to tap one and expand the text and even edit it. |
| 2024-07-13 |  | | Not working. It creates some shortcut without thumbnail and even that doesn't open, uninstalling. |
| 2024-01-17 |  | | Don't know why, but sometimes the photo disappears.. You shortcut link is still there and when you click on it it's just black but with the advert banners top and bottom. |
| 2023-06-29 |  | | Works great! I wish there were a pro version to get rid of the awful ads that appear over your picture! There are no ads in the program, just on the finished shortcut picture. Why did they do that? Tip: To place shortcut on any page other than the main page, just start the app on a blank screen or a screen with fewer app icons on it. It'll work just fine! |
| 2023-04-11 |  | | Does exactly what it says and exactly what I wanted, with no extra features added that weren't needed. I'm going to take a photo of all the little pieces of paper documents and notes that I might carry and eventually loose and put them as an icon on my phone home screen. I'll give each icon a name and never worry about forgetting a shopping list, a memo, or the name of a person that I just met. Google Stack does the same thing but it's for more permanent and not super easy and quick access. |
| 2023-03-19 |  | | This is very simple to use, and I had no difficulty in linking the required photos to 2 home screen entries. There is no need to add an icon - the photo miniature is all that is required - much simpler than another that I tried. |
| 2022-10-04 |  | | Very easy to use. Works perfectly. Ads are only shown on the menu screen, not when your photos are on-screen. Ads are completely unobtrusive. This app is very useful for drone registration and TRUST certificates so you don't have to search through your gallery to find screenshots of your registration/certificate, you can just tap an icon on the home screen and it instantly appears, fullscreen. Also useful to easily show people pictures of my dogs, lol. |
| 2021-09-14 |  | | OMG yes! Tried several other apps but they just give you a widget. This is super easy and puts a photo on your home screen like an app icon, not a widget. PERFECT! |
| 2021-07-19 |  | | Great for travel when you want fast dedicated access to single digital docs like boarding passes, Covid vaccine record and negative test results. Very easy to use. |
| 2021-06-30 |  | | I loaded my Vax card and everything worked great. Today, before heading out on an international trip, I clicked on it to confirm it was still working and the screen didn't display my vax card, instead it said to reload the photo. Agh... |
