The "Info" page shows the number of shortcut uses by active shortcut name on newer versions of Android. This information is collected from the Android O/S tracking of shortcut uses and covers about the last 8 days (this may vary by phone manufacturer). It is not tracked separately from the O/S, is not stored, and is not transmitted off the device by the app.

Caveat emptor: This app uses internal APIs for connecting and disconnecting. As of Android 9 Pie, these APIs are light-gray listed (as opposed to black listed and marked for removal), but they could be removed at some later date without replacement. Please keep this in mind and enjoy using the app while these APIs are available.

Difficult to uninstall. The Google payment page State on top with 'Purchase' at the bottom, overlapping position of keys that would allow me to exit. This is the first time I've had a problem like that with an app from the Google Play Store. I finally uninstalled it, and the button I needed was so close to the link 'Purchase.'

Exactly what I wanted, I've been trying to figure out how to do this. I've used Tasker, I've used MacroDroid, neither of them worked. This not only worked but was simple and easy and quick to set up too. Perfection. The price is a bit much but quite frankly I'm so exasperated it's almost worth it. 6 stars, excellent app, even works on Android 11

Does exactly what I need it to, setup was super simple. Paid full price pretty much right away - totally worth it.
