Shoot, should have listened – Shortcuts Review

I'm a techie with all the new things. I love taking time to learn about them. The great reviews lead me to believe I could do redundant tasks more easily, such as dim my screen brightness at 11pm or have a pop-up reminder every Friday to log my weight. Now it could be that I misunderstood what this app does. That's my fault. It could be that the workflow construction is not intuitive enough and the app WILL do these things. That's the devs' faulty guidance combined with my learning curve. Really wanted to like this. Hate that I wasted $3 for things I can do with one additional click. Yes, I can make a home button prompting me to log my weight to Apple Health. Or, I can force touch Myfitnesspal and hit Log weight. Not even a full click! When using a workflow, it reverts to opening the app Workflow anyway---I don't see the time savings. This app seems designed mostly for auto-sharing (dropbox, pics, making gifs, etc). Might be good for reallllllly long tasks. Such as: I looked at the "Pizza Assistant" workflow but then my head exploded. Nope, I'm not a programmer.
