Please note that due to size differences, the iPhone SEs feature Grids that hold less shortcuts.

iCloud Backup is next, followed by our iPad and Mac Apps. Be sure to join our Newsletter if you would like to be an early tester.
Some featured apps in Candy box can only open the app, why is that?
We have done this to show users that those apps have shortcuts available in Apple Shortcuts app. We have also added the “Add Shortcut” button so users can quickly identify the ones that have them.
We are in contact with some of the developers featured in the app and will be to adding more shortcuts as we receive them.
Why do some shortcuts take me to the iOS Shortcuts app first?
Shortcuts that are set up outside of Candy Box (inside of iOS Shortcuts) will go to the iOS Shortcuts app briefly before it goes to its final destination. All of this happens very fast but is not as quick or direct as shortcuts set up inside of Candy Box. Look at it as a quick layover.
