## Preview Webpage (the Shortcut)
**Preview Webpage** is a super simple shortcut intended to be used from the Share Sheet that I’ll be the first to admit has a limited use-case. Having said that, I keep finding useful ways to use it.
My #1 use for it is with the inexplicably limited PlayStation App. The PS App is great in a lot of ways but for some reason it does not show star ratings or reviews of games while the web page does. This is where Preview Webpage comes in!
For example, let’s say I’m looking at “Possibly Shovelware: The Game” in the PS App and I want to quickly know if this thing is an impressive 4.7 star bit of awesomeness or instead is a 1.3 star ripoff. Tap the Share icon on the game and select “Preview Webpage”. Viola, there’s the star rating and if you scroll down you can read any user reviews. Whew - shovelware avoided! You may well find other times it comes in handy too, as I have.
For best results, after you bring up the Share Sheet scroll to the very bottom and select “Edit Actions…”. Then tap the “+” icon next to Preview Webpage to pin it to the top for quick access.
It is primarily intended to be used from the Share Sheet, but will also work if you copy a URL and then run the shortcut.
If you run into any issues or have questions or suggestions, feel free to contact me on Bluesky, Discord or Reddit. Links are on my profile.

Nice shortcut that at first I thought wouldn’t use much, but I find myself using more often than I thought! PS-Love love love Lumines Arise!
Hey - thanks for the feedback! I make these things for my own use and I have no idea if anyone else is going to like them. It makes me really happy that you found it useful. If you ever run into any issues let me know. And, yeah, Lumines Arise is awesome (but I’m not so good at it).
