Amazing App!!!
I’ve wanted this app for a while, but only today did I get it and purchase the Premium, and I love it so much! It’s such a helpful app! I do have a few suggestions, and I may update them as I get to know this app better: (1) Add an action that sorts numbers. Like, an action that takes a list of numbers and sorts them from highest to lowest, or lowest to highest. (2) Make the ‘Is Premium Unlocked’ action free. Right now, it’s pointless because it only returns ‘true’ for users with premium access. Since you can’t run the action without premium, it never returns ‘false.’ Once premium is purchased, this action just confirms what the user already knows, making it redundant. (3) Make a custom “Repeat” action, and make an “end repeat” action that will immediately end the loop if that action is run. Thank you so much for this wonderful app!
Not free, all locked behind a paywall
Just charge for the app instead of giving a useless free version
Debug is not working
Debug (Printing and Viewing console, recommended for debugging your shortcuts) is not working at the moment. I am glad that we are seeing new releases again.
Nur bezahlt nutzbar
Das allermeiste dieser App ließe sich nur per In App-Kauf benutzen. Da aber auch manche der angeblich freien Beispiele nicht wie erwartet bzw. wie beschrieben funktionieren (enthalten sogar zum Teil gesperrte Funktionen), fehlt mir dazu schlicht noch das Vertrauen. Vielleicht sind ja auch noch ein paar Bugs vorhanden? Niemand kann es ohne einen In App-Kauf beurteilen. Vielleicht gibt es irgendwann ja mal einen kleinen Rabatt beim IAP, dann setze ich mich nochmal ran. Dann gibt es auch wieder mehr Sterne…
What, no MacOS?
I thought this app was a great help, until I recently developed a shortcut which uses the advanced menu feature and tried to use it on the Mac. Zero support for MacOS?? I realise that some of the features are iOS only, but there’s no excuse for not even having a MacOS version when all shortcuts are supposed to work interchangeably everywhere.
Terrific 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!
Unnessecary paywall
locks behind basic functions behind a paywall, if i could i would give it a -4/5
Just One More…
Toolbox is potentially very useful, but it’s missing one thing I really, really want… A way to get the name of the currently running shortcut. It would be a great help in writing more generic, reusable code.

Everything locked by paywall
Pretty much EVERYTHING good is locked under a paywall. Terrible app
Looking forward to more actions
Cool app, I like the concept of adding actions to Shortcuts. I have a couple feature requests that, if possible to implement, would allow me to completely automate a daily task I have. 1: The ability to search for connected SD cards by their name and pass that to Shortcuts so I can run actions on the folders on the card. Currently I can choose a SD card as a source but reformatting the SD card breaks the file path Shortcuts used to find it. 2: Pull the AAE file of a photo or create a JSON with the edits on a photo inside of Apple’s Photos app. For example, I need to pull the crop, rotation, and straightening info from a specific photo so I can translate it to a sidecar file that Adobe Bridge can read. Hope these are possible, but either way I love that developers are adding additional actions to the Shortcuts app! Thank you!
Not that useful
It had general things but not ones I would normally use or find helpful. It would be good if it was something automated like responding to any new emails coming in and adding meetings to your calendar as soon as it in your inbox
No way to upgrade
My shortcuts stopped working because I don't have premium, but there is no way to upgrade to premium in the app.
it works and DATA NOT COLLECTED, what else you need to know?
let me repeat this,it works and DATA NOT COLLECTED, what else you need to know? fo real DATA NOT COLLECTED and it works , was it it you don't understand?
The If Or statement is completely busted
The update seems to have completed been killed with this last update.
Shortcut example bug
If 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!
System detail
I purchased the premium copy hoping that I would be able to use advanced system details information specifically iPhone serial number and NFC tag UID. I couldn’t get either so it does not do what I need.
Dead?
No updates in 2 years. Is this dead? Many posts from developer on Reddit sayin he will add this or that feature but it didn’t happen. Not sure if it is still worth paying for this app. I would use the Actions app instead.
I am in DISBELIEF I am the 3rd Review…
Totally insane app that takes kit to the next level with shortcuts…. My favorite action I would say is Show Notification. It BLOWS AWAY the Apple Out of the Box Notification Action SNAILED IT NEEDS SOME RECOGNITION
Shortcut doesn’t work!
When I went to make a custom Shortcut, where when activated, it would pause the song, or shuffle a random one if no audio is playing. I fiddled with it for over an hour. Only when I used the same rules with Actions, did it work. Paid $6 for a non-functional product.
issues with ios14
running on ios 13.x all was fine - great tool/great idea -> ***** but on ios 14 i‘ve to confirm every single step - this makes it nearly unusable ... or you have to disable every single step “Show When Run”. Please enter a new option for disabeling this tool.
No support
So ai downloaded this app hoping that it will enable me to add albums to my music library. Sadly I get 401 error. I’ve paid for the app so got all features yet this error occurs. I have noted there is a thread on reddit about it and there was no response for the last 2 years so I guess this app is abandoned. I will look at he other features but will likely refund this app.
Alle Automationen werden von alleine verändert
Wenn die App ein Update braucht, werden von meinen Automationen die Funktionen entfernt, und ich muss alle nach dem Update nochmal einstellen, was soll denn das?
Toolbox Pro
Where iOS Shortcuts falls flat, Toolbox pro picks up the slack. All I really needed was a way to detect whether or not my airpods were connected and this application delivers. thanks for this invaluable tool.
Ugh
It took way too long to figure out that you can’t do anything without paying for a premium license. Want to know the price? Yeah… me too. Maybe they should add that to their website in a manner that anybody can find it. Honestly… it feels a bit too underhanded for me to feel comfortable supporting them. Be more transparent with your model.
Other Languages would be great
This app opens new features for automations and shortcuts. That’s great! Example face-ID.
Global 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.
Very powerful and creative
Very powerful and creative app but I feel sorry for the developer who passed recently. Rest in peace, may Allah help his family
Must-have app for Shortcuts
If you do anything with Shortcuts you’re going to want this app. It really takes adds a whole new level of extensibility to the Shortcuts app with a library of easy to use actions. You can simplify shortcuts that would otherwise be cumbersome or tedious to craft with the base Shortcuts app, or you can get really advanced & automate complex workflows that previously may have seemed impossible. The devs are great and the app still receives regular updates. Highly recommend
Can’t get any of the shortcuts to run
Paid for pro but havnt seen any of the shortcuts work
Дорого
Слишком дорого. Разработчик очень хочет с 10 человек по 500, а не с 100000 по 100

Warum nicht mal in anderen Sprachen???
Nice app but will there ever be a new update?
This^
Terrific tool
Absolutely amazing functionality
Most good stuff is paid
.
Way to many premium Tools
Some tools like “get connection stats” have no use as the tools that go with it are premium
Disappointingly unreliable.
Toolbox pro provides many incredible options in Shortcuts, but it is very unreliable. The latest problem is haptic feedback: I created a shortcut to test different options with a 2 second wait in between each haptic action from Toolbox Pro. None of them play any haptic feedback. When the shortcut contains only one haptic action, it works fine.
RIP Alex.
Thanks for keeping the app alive ❤️
Needs 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.
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.

a version in German would be cool

Broken app. Do not buy
Music search has been broken for 2 years. Receiving 401 error every time. No fit presented yet. Paid for premium for no reason.
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.
A must have utility for all shortcuts👍🏻👍🏻
If you use shortcuts then this is for you 110% the app for you so just go & get it don't even think about it.🤯
