This app worked great on my old phone, but when I purchased my new phone (Google Pixel 9 pro) the method to remove the ugly android app watermarks no longer works. If I try to use that method the shortcut disappears. I can create shortcuts through the app itself, but then the ugly android watermarks show up and cover my custom icons. My phone also adds an ugly white bubble around the icon automatically if I try to make it any other shape than circular. Hoping this gets fixed soon :/

Perfect for creating an invisible app shortcut! I wanted to be able to tap on different parts of my wallpaper to launch apps without any icon. Example: tapping Batman's chest symbol to launch banking apps or secure folder. I downloaded a clear PNG image and set as the icon, hid the widget label in Shortcut maker settings, and placed the widget exactly where I wanted. Works flawlesly! Simple solution with minimal setup. One suggestion- make invisible shortcut one of the preset widget options.

Have been using Shortcut Maker since 2022. Terrific app. Occasionally shortcuts randomly fail. Not often enough to dismiss using this app. It's 2025 and the app is still the best customization app for creating Android shortcuts. It appears there hasn't been any further development. Hope author polishes and updates this app further. Using this app on my Galaxy s25 Ultra. Nearly perfect. Very few glitches.

Hi, sorry for the email thing. I'm an individual developer, so it'll take some to get to each and every email. I was busy in the last few weeks.Thanks
