Everything is IMPOSSIBLE! All shaking features work well within the app. But no actions can be performed when I exit this app, its a shame really, needs fixing ASAP

Really cool. was hoping for keyboard macros. In particular Android 9 doesn't seem to have an "undo" ctrl-z function. I wanted to shake to ctrl-z. A very challenging feature request, maybe, or maybe not. Since this app has crazy permissions, it would also be good if you posted a security audit by a third party or open sourced for security.

Geeeez... Awful. It takes about 10-20 seconds for the app to realize it's supposed to open an app... I shook the phone, nothing happened. Shook it again, nothing happened. Repeated a couple more times, nothing happened... And then, about half a minute later it suddenly launched the app it was supposed to launch... 4 times! Tried to tweak the sensitivity settings, same crappy and laggy result. (and no, my device is not old or crappy...)
