Shortcut To URL
* Any protocol will be accepted.
* Creation of shortcut may fail when center of the home screen doesn't have any space.
* "Name" is not filled automatically because a browser will pass to this app only the URL. Also I don't want to add internet access permission to this app.

Nice and easy, even for sop url. For future updates may be considering to select which application will open particularly shortcut. For now works, app it's selected by the system and sop url is opened by sopcast (soptohttp). Well done.
Excellent. Simple n convenient. Search a Web or video share it to this app,give name n ok it. Shortcut created. That's all. Thanks to developer Sir.....
Very simple app! It has helped TREMENDOUSLY!! Sometimes the simplest things are best! LOVE THIS APP!! Developer gets an A+++++++
Still working on a brand new Samsung S21 FE with Android 12, OneUI 4.0 in 2022. Great app.
Helps me create links that can't be made otherwise. An essential app. Thanks to the developer! 👍
I don't want to be forced to create the link on Home rather optionally create it to a file.url
Very good url shortcut. Thanks dev
Didn't produce any shortcuts on my Galaxy 7 running CM Launcher on Oreo 8 OS.
Great on Andoid for creating URL short cuts
Doesn't let you chose the browser
It does what it says. Perfect.
perfect thank you
I have always used this app.
Didn't work for my Alcatel_5002R Shalom you are loved
This would be worth 5 stars+ if we could pick the icon, any image of our choice on our phone, + not be forced to use icons from only the apps installed, I agree (no internet access required for that). Giving it a 4 for "Liked It" instead of a 3 for "It's OK", which is its classification as it actually stands now with this severe limitation. Be glad to give it 5 stars if and when that functionality is provided.
Excellent, but this will perfect if we can choose the icon from the gallery or search from the web.
In Marshmallow, you can no longer create a shortcut to a bookmark in Chrome. This app overcomes that issue. Would give 5 Stars if the icon was able to be changed on the shortcut
Works as described, and no unnecessary permissions. Can't understand why icon selection is from downloaded app icons?? Would be great if icon could be selected from gallery - I want to use an icon that refers to the web page. UPDATE: Discovered 'Pinternet', similar app, but which adds website's favicon as shortcut icon.
I tried Url Shortcut, but it doesn't even download correctly. Shortcut To URL works like a charm.
It would be nice if the default icon were retrieved from the favicon of the site pointed by the URL, as it happens with the shortcuts created through most browsers.
I agree with other comments, why not just give heap of buttons like another app has, works well, I would pay for this addition.
It would be a huge convenience to use a url to an image to grab that image as icon of that shortcut. That way website's or web app's own logo/icon may be used.
I don't have enough memory for the update for Google chrome to make shortcuts, so I was looking everywhere. I finally found a worthy app. XD
Years old, light and very useful. Especially in the face that Google and Chrome keep breaking the generic bookmarks widget. That policy makes this old tidbit highly valuable. Hence the five stars despite the weak UI.
You can change the icon to a custom one but after you create it first (depending on your launcher) long press the icon and select the image to add a new icon. I did this for Facebook.
Mu only critical point would be the icon that you can use. The app will only use icons from a presently installed applucation. The work-round is to install an app that you have no intention if using, but has an appropriate icon, purloin the icon and then uninstall it!
Working like charm! For example: i found good playlist on YouTube and just hit Share and choose this app. I have a shortcut.
Minimal permissions, gets the job done without fuss, even letting me use icons from existing apps. Perfect!
Simple and straight forward, works great. Yes, ability to create your own icon would make developer a rock star. Still 5 stars for going extra mile in not requiring permissions.
One of, if not thee most, useful productivity app that I have installed on my phone. Does exactly like what is says on the tin. I use if to add links to favourite YouTube videos that my kid likes to watch every day, my workout videos, daily hangout meetings, etc. Ad Free and very functional.
