Alloy Reviews

It has changed everything on my phone colors all my pictures looks like faded out blue aliens and I don’t know how to fix this. And it’s very difficult app.

I used to program computers for a living for a few decades and I find I cannot navigate the actions to learn how to modify them (say, to change the clock from Cupertino to my home location, or to change a stock quote from Microsoft to some other stock) or create my own actions.

A detailed tutorial of these subjects would go a long way to making it usable to non-programmers. Video tutorials would be another way to go.

If you’re expecting a launcher that’s easy to set up and user friendly, THIS AINT IT!!
CIS majors may have better luck. It’s similar to creating macros for a database and if you are fortunate to know how to do that, you should be ok. I see now why they were trying to give it away for free a couple of days ago. Forget trying to use their help files, very detailed, for CIS majors only though. Save your money. Your time is move valuable

I don’t know what it’s supposed to do besides confuse me

How u get the URL when you add apps. If u don’t have the URL. Impossible to add it or ask to install.

Keep having to reset my city & info. It’s a home page for information but if it keeps defaulting to the wrong city then the information is pretty much useless.

An app is horribly designed if you keep having to reset basic entries in order for it to function.

Alloy itself is good but its ridiculously unstable and crashes very often. I would rate this 5 stars if it didn’t crash so much

I’ve got Cupertino displayed front and center in Alloy , which would be fine, except that I live several states away from there. I’ve clicked on about everything I can find to change the location to, you know, WHERE I LIVE, but either that isn’t an option, or it’s very well hidden. I’m done fooling with it.

I retired as an IT specialist and Alloy needs a full manual prior to use. Apple’s own scripting tool is far easier.

This is represented as an easy app and it most assuredly is not. Finding info piecemeal in your help is no replacement for a manual. C++ was easier!

Almost anything makes it crash.

😢

The help UI isn’t friendly for non programmers even if they have a good grasp of logic. Would be better if some of the pre-made shortcuts were explained by someone who knew mote about “beginner’s mind.”
Step-by-step
Even Reverse engineered code.

I gave 3 stars because Alloy is probably useful — maybe very much so, but “powerful” is about more than feature set. The true power is in an average user’s ability to make use of it.

Great concept. Best of luck.

Alloy has somewhat more powerful and deep workflow options than its competitors Workflow and Launchpad Pro. But unlike those apps this comes with a steep learning curve which may be prohibitive for many casual users. If you are into coding and app developing then this is perfect, otherwise beware the extreme effort Alloy may take to actually use.

It is a good idea, but a very confusing app. Difficult to use.

A little confusing. Still not able to change weather to local city. Alloy will go far if I can add my own apps that I have on my phone rather than installing and paying for new ones.

this is totally confusing app

Thanks for this amazing app. If you want to make some great shortcuts Alloy best and only app.

Have to write url scheme and what if you do know what the url is🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁

this app is a keeper and improve productivity to new levels. I can’t believe I haven’t discovered it earlier.
The depth of possibilities is endless, and it is well thought out by providing all the utility actions to build complex workflows.
Yes it's not easy at first to acclimate to the interface, but it is inversely proportional to its capabilities. A really great job to the developpers!

this app is an app launcher/workflow automator that uses some of the same ideas as other apps--Launch Center Pro, Workflow, Drafts, Schemes, and Editorial--for automation on iOS. It also adds many ideas of its own, such as persistent variables that store data between action executions and installation workflows that run the first time an action is executed. The developer is amazingly responsive to questions, bug reports, and feature requests. There is a lot about Alloy to learn, but the documentation is comprehensive and well-organized. Alloy is quite fun to tinker with. If you like any of the apps that I mentioned above, you owe it to yourself to check it out.

this app, in a short time, has become indispensable. Easy to use, a UI that is flexible, a UX that is pleasing; this app should rise above other similar apps. Perhaps the best of this app is the tech team! They provided a brilliant solution before Alloy developer had responded to my questions.

this app, essential launcher and workflow app, smooth, easy to use and responsive tech support. Some of the best help I have received.

Thank you this app team.
