I have cognitive impairment and had downloaded Workflow and Launcher over a year ago because can I see that they could be of benefit, but that's as far as I've gotten. That last Workflow gives me a better idea of how I could use this. Nicely done, and thanks!

I'm shocked that there isn't very many good or recent videos on YT showing how to utilize this app. Please make more videos on this app!

Hi Chris !! Fantastic video !! I have to tell you that I bought the 256GB iPad Pro thanks to your recommendation and an Apple Pencil that is really amazing !! I´m a multimedia designer in answer to what is the use I´ll give it. Yesterday I made my first workflow and it works !!! I save the workflow from the iPad to iCloud and open it in the iPhone put the home button in the control center to play some selected playlist and then I made another for my Apple Watch, surely in time I learn some great and cool way from you to do this more efficiently but this was for fun and I did have fun !! Thank you !! keep this good work I´ll be watching

I put links to Workflow and part 1 in the description. Workflow is now free so everyone should check it out! It does work on iPhone as well.

Hi Chris, thanks for the Video it was very helpful. I do have a question though, is it possible to toggle On/Off iOS actions such as Bluetooth, Airplane mode, Wi-Fi, Do Not Disturb etc...?

I added the workflow to home page which makes way more convenient to execute workflows. However after the workflow is complete how do I let the workflow exit? Exit to home page.

I like your productions but you’re losing me when you move from one workflow to the next without running the workflow. For example you show the magic wand variable thing but at 9:14 you quit and move on to something that looks very complicated but you never showed us what the Fantastical workflow did. In the future, can you show your workflows in action after you build them? Thanks.
