Ratings and Reviews
Amazing data management
So this app is basically a no sql type storage which makes life so much easy if you’re handling data in shortcuts. I used to question its utility gives iOS shortcuts have inbuilt dictionary and lists. I learnt that it is not easy to maintain persistence and at the same time view and edit logged data. As an example I am using it to keep a track of my blood glucose, date, meals, coffee and insulin dosage. It becomes so much easy to organise all this data in a structure most convenient for me (to later plot using charty app) which otherwise would be an impossible task with iOS inbuilt data types. Full marks for practical and simple implementation. Also a bonus is that it syncs data instantly between my devices and it stays in my iCloud.
Exactly what I was looking for
I was searching for a way to keep track of bar stock but needed a data container to remember all the quantities. This app fits the bill perfectly and was so easy to implement so thank you very much!
Useful Addition to Mobile Working
Such a simple app concept but with endless use cases. Can be used for simple data storage or much more complex shortcuts related processes. Another addition to my arsenal of mobile working tools.
