Ratings and reviews

Functional. Very ugly but functional. Good: -I have been able to use Dash Buttons to trigger IFTTT tasks and that's what I wanted to do. -If you have a spare Android and are too lazy to figure out MAC addresses this fits the bill nicely. -Huge potential! Bad: -The UI is rough. -It can be tedious to capture Alert events. -I can't figure out why I get so many duplicate automations while I'm attempting to set up just one. -I'm not sure if the "web" function actually works (it hasn't in my testing so far). Next: -I wonder if this can make my old pile of worthless TrackR bluetooth devices do something useful...

My notifications are detected as Amazon Shopping, Null, Null, so I cant decipher between different dash buttons. The actual toast notifications come in properly, but the app fails to read the other values. I am on an HTC M7 with Android 4.4.3. I cannot upgrade unfortunately.

I bought the Pro version specifically because it is supposed to run completely in the background. It doesn't. It only works when the screen is on.
