Latest reviews of Alloy - launcher and automator app for iPhone and iPad
Was lead to a weird page full of ads
Me be I dont understand this App!
it works very fine I like the better Handling of workflows - in opposite to Workflow Alloy shows not the settings of an action during the action is run - so an actions appears more like an App - very nice It seems to be it have much more options as workflow but since the Help function isnt the best they are not really accessible (or you ar an Xcode Programmer with a big expierience) Missing or bad: * I dont like that Home-Screen Actions always ask for run. In Workflow this part runs much better. * It is hard to programming actions and the Help function isnt the best or better to say: its bad .. - often its not clear what stak need and where it is possible to get the information for it * No idea how the sort of Favorites works nor how to organize the icons order in the widget * Would be great to have much more examples wich based on the standard apps instead of apps to buy
Most people dont know this app exists but the developers keep plugging along adding new features. It goes as deep as you likely need.
Im still learning this app, but I can see the huge potential for improving and speeding up my workflows. The degree of functionality made available is incredible, with support for loops, If/Else, While control flows; persistent variables; object properties, and more. As I said, Im still learning, but the developer is super responsive and open to users ideas. Overall, great app with huge potential from a developer that really supports the user.
