Mejor app
Bugged
Won't let me use it to open apps or run shortcuts. If I try to create a shelf to do those things as soon as I try to pick one it closes out before I can pick one.
Isla mágica
Si ,,,, pero no ….
Issue with adding on the Dynamic Island
When I add a photo to my Dynamic Island it keeps showing that it’s loading. It doesn’t go away. Can you fix this issue please.
Shelf
Love this app I just wish I had the option to not show it on lock screen
This app is actually free, and yet I’d pay for it
Refugee from Activity Builder. This app is perfect!
Open app not functioning
The open app shelf did not work as it was supposed to
👍🏽
This is awesome! I would definitely purchase the Pro version if it had the option to remove the lock screen photo. Does it have the option to select multiple shelves and have them in shuffle mode?
The app doesn’t work for me
Whenever I try to make a shelf other than a text shelf it kicks me out of editing it and the colors are stuck as purple unless you pay for the pro version, if you hold the Dynamic Island it looks broken only some dot short cuts icons show up
Widgets constantly disappear
I love the concept of the app but the widgets keep disappearing. If I could know how long a Shelf widget last, then maybe I could automate with Apple shortcuts. Thanks
Confused
I have been trying to add shelf two which I added a photo and every time I click save the photo isn’t showing which seems really weird. I’m putting this at 5 stars so you guys can see it. If I figure it out I will make another review. Thank you
Buggy as hell
Doesn’t allow to edit the shortcuts and when I do it exits back
Great app
Can display pictures on my lock screen, which is really all I wanted, although I wish there were more options for Shortcuts in order to automate the process of it being on & off, rather than just being able to turn it in on.
Must keep re-launching shelves
Very nice idea with this app and it’s functionality. But I’m having to continually go into the app and relaunch live activity shelves because they keep consistently disappearing from the Lock Screen. If this is fixed this would be a 5 star app to me
Great potential
Highly recommend X
Choose wisely
Doesn’t let you choose wedge you want no matter how many times you save it. Even after paying for pro.
Cool concept - can it do videos?
Videos/gifs would be cool
Perfect app
A great app for daily affirmations. Thank you for making this app.
No guarda correctamente
No puedo poner un texto en el widget, parece guardarlo cuando estoy en la app, pero cuando quiero poner el widget en mi inicio me dice que no tiene texto
Good so far
Excited for the timer support.
If you’re forgetful like me - this app is game-changing
This app has been a life saver when I need little reminders pinned to my Lock Screen. Small things like “bring lunch to work” or “pay bills” are just some of the notes I can keep handy on my Lock Screen I’ve also been playing around adding fun buttons and photos to my lock screen meaning everything I need is literally a click a way. This has been probably one of the best apps I have installed as it’s easy to navigate, does what it says and if I have any issues the support from the developer is superb. 100000/10!!
Dynamic Island
Support iOS 16.1
Shelf adds super helpful access to your favorite things
Great job! My first shelf consists of a 4 shortcuts to; record a voice memo, open Camera, Photos, Settings. I like that one can add shelves to do different things additional to or instead of those. Yes iOS gives a shortcut to the camera on the lock screen but you have to push and hold. With Shelf you tap and it launches. Glad it looks like you have more options planned. Keep up the good work. Looks like Shelf is using its own app and Shortcuts App to accomplish it’s functionality. It would be nice though for someone who likes to not have open apps in the background if it would quit Shelf and Shortcuts after requested shortcut launches to keep open background apps to a minimum. Or maybe there is a way to do that within the app.
5 Star :)
Omg this is amazing. It made my lockscreen and dynamic island so much more vibrant and fun
