It doesn't really work, it's a nice idea and I love that it doesn't have a pay wall or ads but it's gotta work Edit: nothing works it does absolutely nothing

This app wants permissions it just doesn't need. You asked, almost every permission you list and those you don't. You're not a programmer. You're an app user who generates apps. Your parents must be proud. You can't play on my level. I can write code in binary in ASCII or EBCDIC. You must know I have you pegged as an abuser, because you attacked me. Download this app if you want your privacy violated. I'd arree with you, but then we'd both be wrong. Your "app" doesn't even work.

It fails to detect WiFi disconnect and the service is always off after a while.

Did work, albeit a bit unreliably, before latest update (version 1.6). Now crashes when service started.

About this app

This program can help you automate stuff on your device.
Specify rules that trigger events under certain conditions. There are other apps that already do that, but this one has different features.

If you have feature requests, problems or questions please send me an email. If you find a bug please use the error reporting feature and give me a chance to fix the bug before you post a bad review.

Because of Google restrictions I've had to remove more and more features from the app. If you don't like that, have a look at my website.
