Quick-access setup

Analyze a supported offer with one tap.

Put a small floating button on your iPhone that runs OfferIQ over the app you are using. Single-tap to analyze a supported offer screenshot; long-press to mark the last offer accepted. Configure and test it while parked. Availability and labels can vary by iPhone and iOS release.

First

Add the two shortcuts

The button can only run shortcuts that are already in your Shortcuts app. If you set OfferIQ up in the app you likely have these — otherwise add them here (iPhone only).

The 2-minute setup

One button, both shortcuts

The simplest setup: assign each shortcut to a gesture on a single AssistiveTouch button.

  1. 1
    Turn on AssistiveTouch

    Open Settings › Accessibility › Touch › AssistiveTouch and switch it on. A small round button appears on the screen — drag it to a corner where it won’t cover an offer.

  2. 2
    Find “Custom Actions”

    Stay on that same AssistiveTouch screen and scroll down to Custom Actions. You’ll see three rows: Single-Tap, Double-Tap and Long Press.

  3. 3
    Single-Tap → Analyze Offer

    Tap Single-Tap, scroll to the very bottom of the list where your own shortcuts live, and choose Analyze Offer. A checkmark confirms it, then tap back.

  4. 4
    Long Press → Mark Last Offer Accepted

    Back under Custom Actions, tap Long Press (or Double-Tap) and choose Mark Last Offer Accepted the same way.

  5. 5
    Test it before you drive

    While safely parked, open a supported offer screenshot and single-tap the button to grade it. Long-press to test marking the last offer accepted. Each shortcut runs as an overlay and returns you to the app you were using.

Which gesture for which? Give Analyze Offer the gesture you use most often, such as Single-Tap. Long Press suits the occasional Mark Last Offer Accepted and is less likely to trigger accidentally. Configure and test both while parked.

Prefer labels?

Or put both in the button’s menu

If you’d rather tap a menu and pick a shortcut by name, add them to the AssistiveTouch menu instead.

  1. 1
    Open the menu editor

    On the AssistiveTouch screen, tap Customize Top Level Menu (UK/Australia: “Customise”). You’ll see the current menu icons in a grid.

  2. 2
    Add a slot

    Tap the + below the grid to add a blank slot — the menu holds up to 8 icons. Or reuse an icon you don’t need.

  3. 3
    Assign Analyze Offer

    Tap the slot, scroll to your shortcuts at the bottom, choose Analyze Offer, then tap the blue tick in the top-right to save.

  4. 4
    Assign Mark Last Offer Accepted

    Add or tap another slot and repeat for Mark Last Offer Accepted.

  5. 5
    Use it

    Tap the floating button to open the menu, then tap the shortcut by name. One extra tap than the gesture setup, but both actions are clearly labelled.

What to expect the first time

  • Adding a shortcut shows a one-time review screen with a red Add Shortcut button. That’s the install — it happens once per shortcut.
  • The first run may ask for permission. Tap Always Allow so it never asks again.
  • Every run after that is silent: a small bar flashes at the top while the shortcut works, then you’re back in the gig app you started from.
No button, or an easier one

Three more ways to trigger a shortcut

AssistiveTouch is the most universal, but your iPhone has other one-tap options too.

Back Tap

No on-screen button — tap the back of the phone. Settings › Accessibility › Touch › Back Tap, then set Double Tap = Analyze Offer and Triple Tap = Mark Last Offer Accepted. Works on iPhone 8 and later.

Heads-up: a rigid car mount can absorb the taps — test it in your mount.

Action Button

On supported iPhones, open Settings › Action Button, swipe to ShortcutChoose a Shortcut. It gives you a physical-button option, but it holds only one shortcut.

Pair it with AssistiveTouch or Back Tap for Mark Last Offer Accepted.

“Hey Siri”

For a voice-trigger option, say “Hey Siri, Analyze Offer”. The shortcut’s own name is the trigger phrase, so nothing else is required.

Test this while parked; recognition can vary with noise and environment.

Setup questions

What if the labels on my iPhone look different?

Apple may adjust labels or the Settings layout between iOS releases. Search Settings for AssistiveTouch if the path differs, then look for Custom Actions.

The “Custom Actions” section isn’t on the AssistiveTouch screen — where is it?

Turn the AssistiveTouch toggle at the top ON first, then scroll down. Custom Actions (Single-Tap, Double-Tap, Long Press) sits lower on the same screen, below the toggle and below Customize Top Level Menu.

My OfferIQ shortcuts aren’t in the action list.

The shortcut has to already be in the Shortcuts app. Add Analyze Offer and Mark Last Offer Accepted first (tap their install links above and choose Add Shortcut), and they’ll appear by name at the very bottom of the action list — Apple’s built-in actions are listed first, so keep scrolling.

Which gesture should I use for which shortcut?

Put Analyze Offer on the gesture you use most often, such as Single-Tap. Long Press suits the occasional Mark Last Offer Accepted and is less likely to fire accidentally. Configure and test both while parked.

Will running a shortcut kick me out of the app I am using?

No. Launched from the button, a shortcut runs as a quick overlay on top of whatever app you’re in and returns you to it when it finishes. A small bar shows briefly at the top of the screen while it runs — you don’t get dumped into the Shortcuts app.

The first time I tap it, iOS asks for permission.

That’s normal, and it happens once. The first time a shortcut actually runs, iOS may show a prompt with Allow Once / Always Allow / Don’t Allow. Tap Always Allow so it never asks again. After that the button just works silently.

Can I hide the floating button when I’m not driving?

Yes. Go to Settings › Accessibility › Accessibility Shortcut and tap AssistiveTouch, then triple-click the side button (or the Home button on Touch ID iPhones) to show or hide it whenever you like.

A shortcut seemed to hang and didn’t come back.

If a shortcut ever looks stuck behind the bar at the top of the screen, tap the centre of that bar to dismiss it. Keeping the shortcuts simple — no pop-ups or questions mid-run — gives the smoothest tap-and-return experience.

The whole point: decide before you drive

OfferIQ reads supported offer screenshots on-device, grades them A–D against your own rates, and can speak the result aloud. The button makes the shortcut one tap away.
