This used to be brilliant. But something has happened, and now, sometimes created icons don't appear, and if they do, they have an ugly shortcut overlay. Edit: Thanks for the update. Unfortunately it still doesn't work as it used to. Icons are too large by default and there's a bigger gap between the icon and the text which makes it misaligned with other icons. Edit: Eventually got a custom icon looking OK, but required a lot of fiddling and text seems a little bit thin. Screenshots sent.

Used to work brilliantly. I used it to personalise icons on my home screen to make them monochrome. Sadly it doesn't work as well now. If you make a shortcut using the Add Widget method (to avoid the ugly icon watermark), it either fails to create the shortcut at all, or you end up with a generic arrow icon instead. I really hope this gets fixed, but I see the last update is dated 2023, so perhaps it's not supported any more?

Unbelievably straightforward. I just wanted to rename an app on my home screen. Samsung has no option. I was done in about 1 minute and now have the shortcut and removed the original app from the screen. The only difference is the shortcut arrow. Would also help those with apps of the same name e.g. camera. Lots of other shortcuts available too. 10* if I could!!!
