"Is audio playing" is bizarre

I downloaded this app so that I could disable my morning alarm in case I was already awake and listening to music. I set up this flow (literal text input shown between caret quotes) Get clipboard -> Set variable to Clipboard; Is audio playing?; Wait to return; Get clipboard -> Set variable to Clipboard -> Copy to clipboard -> If clipboard is <"true"> { Exit shortcut with Clipboard } otherwise { /* play my alarm */ }; I had to make sure to use the double quotes when testing the clipboard value, which was not clear from the instructions and nearly caused me to leave a one star review until I was able to guess the correct format. The "is audio playing?" action takes a very long time to return (nearly a minute!). It also wipes out whatever may have been on my clipboard previously, which forced me to jump through hoops to preserve the clipboard state as shown above. I suspect there is also a race condition in the event that I use the clipboard while the action is executing (which, again, is not a short amount of time). It would be much better to return a boolean or at least write to one of Toolbox Pros global variables. Three stars because it technically works and meets my needs, but very surprising and disappointing in the details. Finally, ZERO STARS to Apple for mangling the linefeeds and other whitespace in this review, making technical feedback extremely challenging.

Worth the price first time I used it!

I found it worth the price of in just two weeks for fully unlocked access! I had been emailed images of text documents that I needed to quickly edit. Instead of laboriously transcribing the text via keyboard, I used the example Scan Text shortcut in Toolbox Pro to convert the images of text into text files, saving me a huge amount of manual typing. If you are serious about using or creating your own shortcuts, I highly recommend this app.

Toolbox Pro makes Shortcuts easier

I downloaded Toolbox Pro months ago because of a MacStories recommendation but I hadn’t used it much. Today it showed its value. I needed to grab 20 photos from my phone, shrink them, change their format, zip them and upload them to Dropbox. A Shortcut I made in about a minute did the job and was only possible to do that quickly because of capabilities provided by Toolbox Pro. THe new functions it adds are powerful, intuitive and invaluable.

Creative + Impressive + Really Useful!

I love how creative this app is in providing useful functionality to the Shortcuts app. The actions it adds are really impressive and look like Apple implemented actions with how slick they are. I use Shortcuts on a daily basis and Toolbox Pro actions are in a lot of those actions.I’m also really impressed with how transparent the developer is on Twitter. They’re open to input and share upcoming features with their community. I give this app 5 stars because of how impressive it is plus how impressive the developer is. Looking forward to seeing where this app goes especially as Shortcuts evolves over time and (hopefully) allows devs to access even more functionality in iOS and iPadOS!! Thank you!!

Awesome

This app has so many amazing functions, but my favorite is the Global Variable tool. If you’ve used shortcuts much at all, you’ve almost certainly had a moment when you wish that a shortcut could have some kind of memory. To know if it’s been run that day, or to remember a piece of information that changes. A score for a game, a simple tally, and countless other uses. Well that’s exactly what Global variable does. Beyond that, toolbox pro has lots of great functions that shortcuts can’t normally do, and even more functions that you could pull off in the shortcuts app, but that would be so cumbersome that they’re not worth it. But in Toolbox Pro, it’s right there, and works just the way it says. Seriously, if you like shortcuts at all, download this.

Awesome app, worth every cent

The developer of this app, Alex, is on it. Constantly adding features and the support can’t be beat.If you like to automate and use Siri Shortcuts, you’ll probably encounter a point where you’ll ask why didn’t Apple include this feature? It’s very likely that feature is in Toolbox Pro. Highly recommend!

Interesting, but little available...

This app looks like it could be useful, but All I'm seeing are a few features. You can't even convert currency or make a calendar OF ALL THINGS. Very little is available for free that the basic user would be able to get with a single browser lookup or even the shortcuts app itself!I'm getting more and more disappointed with apps these days, they ask you for money for very little features, use scriptable, it's free, and a lot more flexibility because you can program your own scripts/shortcuts

Rip-off

Don't even bother downloading if you think you are going to get some free "useable" shortcuts. I went through the entire list and every shortcut I was interested in was a paid "Premium" shortcut. I realize developers should be paid for apps that they put in a lot of time to create, but I don't think they should advertise them as free apps with in app purchases if almost every function requires a purchase. Just change the "Get" download option to the price of the app, like honest developers.Update 2/3/20:Developer's Response tells me that almost 1/4 are free (13 free out of 100 total = 13 percent free).

Really awesome idea, but NFC tools don’t quite work

Unfortunately the NFC scanning functionality doesn’t quite work. If I create a shortcut automation triggered by an NFC tag that is then followed by a Toolbox Pro NFC Read, then the read will not properly work. Bummer! Additionally the “scan result” variable doesn’t really work properly either, and instead you have to actually use the clipboard. Finally, reading with the text format prefixes the data with “en” for some reason (I guess it’s prefixing the language? Which means it’s probably not interpreting the NFC data properly?)

Phenomenal!!!

If you’re serious about shortcuts and you understand most of the logic within it this app is a MUST HAVE. my only current request i can think of which i don’t think is possible is the ability to detect if other apps are open in the background. this would be useful for me as a door dash driver to have maps automatically open back up after a timer if i’m in a location and another app i use for dashing is open. Thats all for now regardless this app is priceless!
