Tips for Downloading and Tips

• From the outset, it is essential that you know what the apk file installation method is for, it is used to be able to go back to older versions so that, if you do not like an update, there is no problem in “downgrading”, with this application most likely you will not have problems: it has not been updated since 2014.
• Of course, be careful, as we already told you above, with strange websites, since they may want to put some malicious software on your device, so running an antivirus after installation is not too much.
• A great advantage that Quick Shortcut Maker gives you is that you can “hide” certain applications. Let’s take an example: suppose you don’t want to let your friends know what your WhatsApp is, so they don’t get into it and read your conversations, with this app you can put a bank logo on it and write as the name of the app “Banco AA”.
• But not only that, but you can use themes to style the shortcuts; see the case of Instagram, many people do not like the new logo, so they can go back to the old one without any problem.
• There’s more: with Quick Shortcut Maker you can create specific shortcuts. Read the case in which you want to put a direct link that takes you to the account synchronization configuration, you can do it and you can even put the name and icon you want.
• Another great advantage is the app’s compatibility with the variety of launchers on the market, be it Nova, ADW, Apex, GO and many more.
• In other words, in conclusion we could say that it’s not only a customization tool, but also an anti-prying security tool, all for just 2 MB, which is nothing. In addition, it has a wide variety of supported languages, including Spanish, so you won’t necessarily have to use it in English.
