Toolbox Pro for Android

I wouldn’t care if I had only used this for *one* shortcut—it would pay for itself with that one! This has so many features, I can’t imagine even being able to use half of them!!!

I’m a paid user…horrible. Functionality in this is so broken.

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?)

Debating whether to spend another $6 on something I already paid for.

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 <saved clipboard> to Clipboard; Is audio playing?; Wait to return; Get clipboard -> Set variable <is audio playing> to Clipboard -> Copy <saved clipboard> 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 Google for mangling the linefeeds and other whitespace in this review, making technical feedback extremely challenging.
