Launcher 5 will let you create custom widgets for your iPhone's home screen with different shortcuts to apps, contacts etc.
Apple already offers a variety of widgets with its native iOS apps, but they are mostly based on suggestions and not user choice. Launcher 5 lets you create your own widgets with the shortcuts you want like - phone number of a specific contact or a custom playlist.
