Thanks, the best teachers are the ones that simplify things rather than just showing off their skill.

Finally a legit actual siri shortcuts guide. Most of the guides out there are completely vague and don't even explain things very well. Can't wait for the other parts!

I have been ‘dipping my toes’ into the shortcuts ‘pool’. This is exactly what I have been looking for. Awesome work.👍👍👍

This video is 6 months old at this point but you single handily have helped me get setup with my iPad Pro. Now I am going to be going through your shortcut tutorials to get this thing ticking like a clock. I already have setup a raspberry pi to use as a mobile development platform. Thanks a bunch for your detailed tutorials.

All 6 of the guides are excellent. Not sure why this isn’t off the carts with likes. Maybe shortcuts aren’t mainstream yet. I’ve gone back to these guides over and over again as I learn shortcuts. Each time I understand more of what you are saying. These guides have helped SO Thank you. Without the guides, learning shortcuts would have been way more painful.

Didn’t realize how powerful shortcuts could be just started looking into making them

Interested in automation! Would love tutorials covering that with physical nfc tag integration! Love your videos!

New subscriber but huge fan! Rob, you are a true technical fellow in my book, meaning you can do and explain clearly. There are too many folks out there just interested in hearing themselves speak rather than helping the rest of us. Keep on. Thanks.

Thanks! I’ve been looking for a good beginning Shortcuts tutorial. Your videos are great.

[mikemanthe]

Would love to see an additional video in this series dedicated to IFTTT. Great idea for a series - looking forward to it!

[PCkaos]

Wow great. Love that you start from the absolutely beginning, so us newbies can learn something.

[enzo_plays]

Your tutorials have always been top notch. Not sure why it’s taken me so long but I’m finally subbed to your channel!

[msimcox]

This is the first/only channel that I have actually clicked the bell to be notified of uploaded content. Rob's content is well produced and informative.

[MostafaMASLOUHI]

Very nice and complete tutorial. You’ve got a new subscriber.

Already in the first part of Your Tutorial-Series I learned something: That there is something called "Shortcut Properties", until now, to add it to the homescreen I‘ve always used the "Share-Sheet".

Doing this in September 2021. Some confusion as my screen is different, but with a bit of effort I found my way around. Will now watch the rest of the series.
