What are users saying about Sesame Shortcuts

H70%
by H####:

Why do we need to press so hard to launch a shortcut from the home screen? Why only five shortcuts are available? Despite the fact that Nova and Sesam have granted the storage permission, Sesam won't open any folders on the phone and memory card from the search results.The app should have more quality design when launching from the edge. Please improve it. Use Swiftly Switch as an example to take after

F70%
by F####:

The app is great overall. Sometimes takes a little while for the apps to load from the shortcuts. One very annoying thing with Spotify is whenever new music gets added or new searches they get added as shortcuts automatically. Meaning the ones I want to use, don't show up

T70%
by T####:

It's okay I just can't stand the wallpaper they put and there no way to change it...Everyday there a wallpaper and all to dark and very busy.. It would be nice if you can customize you own wallpaper.. PLEASE FIX THE PROBLEM

O70%
by O####:

Very useful app. Saves time. Will purchase it if provided under Rs 20. One thing which I don't like is, when i add a new contact it is automatically added to whatsapp shortcuts. Then i have to manually remove it.

T70%
by T####:

Pretty good,but needs work on side edge app launch,it becomes difficult to remove typed numbers while in diler or you can make it movable...By other aspects I am happy to purchase it,highly recommend if you're using Nova launcher as your default launcher????

T70%
by T####:

This is a brilliant app and deserves all credit. However, I'm getting tired of losing the settings and having to laboriously re-enter them. It really needs an export and import function for the configurations the user creates.

V70%
by V####:

Used to work flawless. Just recent the screen edge system keyboard setting broke, now I have to use sesame keyboard I liked having my choice keyboard to use. Otherwise this is a great app.

T70%
by T####:

Doesn't detect the In-app purchase correctly, and constantly nags about expired trial. Pressing the purchase button just results in a Play Store error saying I already own the item... Don't recommend paying, you'll be treated the same by the app either way.

C70%
by C####:

Since you're an amazing developers , I would like to request you that if you could make the shortcut icons colour similar to the already present shortcut (adaptive colour) .

H70%
by H####:

Really powerful. Any way to invoke it from the home button (via Assist API?) - would be a great alternative to the side launch option

Y70%
by Y####:

Takes a few presses for the shortcuts to appear. Also, short cuts that I was counting on are not present. A little disappointed.

T70%
by T####:

The app is great overall. Finally I could get rid of apps on the home screen because launching them (and even particular functions) is now fast and easy just by typing few letters in the search field (really useful for Whatsapp - you can go to particular conversation by typing "wh tom" and you can directly select Whatsapp conversation with contact "tom"). What's missing is ability to search more fields from the Contacts stored in the Google Contacts - now it searches only for the names - it would be useful to search for another fields too like Company Name to mention one.

T70%
by T####:

I like it but i no longer have search options for contacts like the screenshot above and nothing automatically pops up i always have to hit search i never get instant results

L70%
by L####:

Adding icons to the settings shortcuts was a good idea. You could find an icon solution for the shortcuts of other apps too.

T70%
by T####:

I love it, it makes life much simpler allowing you to declutter your desktop when enabled in Nova's App Search from the Nova integrations option. I would give it 5 stars if it allowed search queries to be placed with DuckDuckGo.

B70%
by B####:

Deep shortcuts in the search bar is wonderful. This is what Android needed! Performance is great!

T70%
by T####:

The idea is good but will soon be useless once Oreo is released on all devices. Further, when i long press for shortcuts I have to click more than 3 times sometimes on a shortcut for it to open. Donno if this is a bug or only me

Having an issue with Google Drive shortcuts not showing links to documents shared with me is this possible..?

V70%
by V####:

By mistake purchase the app.... Please refund my google play money. Thanks for responding on my request..

C70%
by C####:

Everytime I tried to type on the keyboard this app would pop up , very annoying.

Y70%
by Y####:

Really useful app, but 174 INR is a lot for the app.

T70%
by T####:

Idea is nice but I find navigating with keyboard whilst on smartphone a bit uncomfortable and unnatural.

T70%
by T####:

Let me add the ability to make incognito tabs in Chrome then it'll be 5 star

I70%

Impressive, would love OneDrive folder shortcuts added please.
