Used to work great I use/d this to silence my phone as I enter my workplace. It worked great for a few weeks, but now it's activating itself at home, on the train, in the car... Over 25km from the activation zone. And also deactivating itself while at my workplace. The perimeter is ample and I use GPS, what gives?

Joshua Whiting

So many uses! For example... Here's just a few of the tasks I've programmed this app to do: (1) put my phone on silent at a certain time, but only when within range of the cell tower near my work (uses less battery than GPS that way), (2) give a spoken alert when my carpool texts me with a specific message, (3) when I open certain apps, start a timer and close the app when time's up (keeps me from spending too much time playing games!). The syntax takes some learning, but there's good documentation and a free trial version.

Automate This app is sweet. It is a program that allows you to automate all the parts of your device that you hate doing. When I get home it turns on my WiFi, when I get in my car it texts leaving to the mom and girlfriend and plays music for me through my Bluetooth.

Anthony Phillips

Device: Stock Nexus 6P running 6.0.1 :::: Issue 1) Call-state broken. Made a simple profile that activates the speaker phone for ANY call-type but the profile never activates. :::: Issue 2) Proximity-sensor broken. Tasker does not seem to be able to read the proximity-state until after the user has physically activated (put hand over) and deactivated (removed hand from) the sensor. After the user has physically activated then deactivated the proximity sensor, all works as expected. Use of the proximity-sensor should not require the user to physically cycle the on/off state of the sensor.

Tasker won't run at boot, so none of my profiles get exectuted as a consequence. I want my money back. Plain and simple.

Bill Miano

Why did I wait so long? I should have installed this years ago! Create your own sound profiles, triggers, conditions, etc. I am just barely scratching the surface of what Tasker can do. You can even create your own apps. This is the best!

I use Tasker to set brightness to 0% and turn on sync and airplane when connected to WiFi. Then when disconnected from WiFi I have it set up to hibernate apps I don't want using my data, disable airplane mode, turn off sync and turn auto brightness on. Only thing needed is a widget to toggle enabling and disabling Tasker since the notification toggle disappears when disabling Tasker.

A Google User December 10, 2015

Flexible but not easy Among other things, I've used this to make tasks that: auto-open my shopping list app when I'm at the store, mute audio when screen is off on my tablet, turn off interruptions and show a simple home screen when I'm driving, keep screen on longer when certain apps are open, etc. etc. But you need to be familiar with programming and coding, otherwise this is going to be difficult to use.

Alan Bacon December 17, 2015

I was able to set up tasker profiles just as I wanted them, but eventually (an hour or two of running tasker profiles) the app causes my home, settings and menu buttons to stop working correctly and the phone needs to be restarted. OnePlus 1 Cyanogen 12.1. Tasker has caused difficult to pin down issues before on other devices but there were never annoying enough for me to completely stop using the app until now.

Todd Sayers December 12, 2015

Not useful on nexus 5x On the Nexus 5X, none of the "useful" features are available. Specifically, it's not possible to turn off radios or go into airplane mode. To me, the app has zero value. Yes, I can make a pop up... which I can also do with built-in apps.

Mark O January 11, 2016

Powerful Yet Upsetting! Unlike QuickShortcutMaker, this App apparently won't create shortcuts using your own created images. It can when creating Widgets, but NOT Shortcuts. Yet only Shortcuts can go inside Home Screen Folders. So this App, as powerful as it is, can use some important improvements!

Melvin Patrick Caresosa December 8, 2015

Lack of community support. Lack of community support. The website that contains tasker profiles are outdated. It should've dedicated website in app to upload/download profiles with votes, comments(community workshop). Tasker should've smart mode that automatically fix the error/compatibility of profiles/tasks. I'm lazy that's why I bought this app. One thing the 3rd party plugin should have included in the app it self, I meant the functionality of the plugins. I am willing to pay for more if this will happen.

Dave Davis January 9, 2016

Absolute bargain. My favourite app. This app is fantastic. My only gripe is that you need a lot of third party plug-ins to get anything meaningful done. They too, however, are worth the small investment. I just wish a lot of the plugin functionality was native. I put off using this for a long time because I thought it would have a steep learning curve. I was wrong. It's super intuitive and extremely powerful. Replaces the need to learn java in a lot of cases. Great job devs. Please keep it up.

Ian Macdonald January 9, 2016

Phone use by nerds can really be divided into two categories: the pre-Tasker period and the post-Tasker period. Once you have Tasker installed and are adept at using in -- and therein lies the challenge -- you really will wonder how you got by without it. Tasker comes with a steep learning curve and a clunky interface. Trying to program a phone with Tasker can sometimes feel like handling butterflies with boxing gloves, but if the proof is in the pudding, then the automated results that Tasker makes possible are that pudding; and a tasty one it is, too. The pricing is generous to a fault, but you will likely find that you soon need to purchase a host of the so-called AutoApps to get real world work done and make your devices communicate with one another. Throw Zooper Pro into the cart, too, because you'll need some great-looking intelligent widgets and you're looking at about 10 euros or dollars for a huge amount of power. If you're a sysadmin or programmer, be it hobbyist or professional, you need Tasker on your phone (and any other Android devices in your family or under your management).

Doesn't work on Sony z2 Can't get even the most simple at x time play media song task to execute, read forums and watched videos and still nothing,too bad I wanted it to work so bad I went over the 15 minute time limit, I just wasted 3 bucks on this for nothing

Bartosz Breninek December 27, 2015

Lollipop update / marshmallow don't work any more: silent mode, data settings (network internet connection), notification on click (it eventualy does, but I need to push it few times, and it goes through the enter and exit task each time) / marshmallow : keep asking about battery optimalization, and cannot be used when taker is battery optimized.

Crafty Apps EU January 6, 2015

Silent mode: use Interrupt Mode action instead, it's a new Lollipop thing. The other things, you'll need to post to the forum with details: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/forum

Andy Pandy January 12, 2016

Getting the hang of it Getting the hang of it at last, it's hard to start but you soon learn. There is some strange things, when I'm happy with what I've done I exit the app before opening it again and building, because if it crashes, you lose your work.(using app factory plugin)(not sure what account I bought that with)

Andrew Madison January 2, 2016

Not for your average user. I bought this app for one purpose: to disable my lock screen while the phone is charging. But using the app is a little over my head so I haven't been able to figure out how to use the app.

Andro Market January 8, 2016

Favorite App for Android Automation/Scripting Some may think that Tasker is too complex but that's what unlocks the power of Android. Tasker is THE app for programmers that want to automat their Android device(s)

LEGOlord208 January 1, 2016

Except eventual lagg on crappy devices: The most awesome thing EVER! Hey, don't listen to the bad ratings. If you want to automate your android, be grateful that you don't have to code with the laggy SDK yourself. I <3 Tasker

Mike Thomas January 12, 2016

The most valuable app on my phone...period! If I could rate more than 5 stars I definitely would. There are literally unlimited uses for tasker, it's like having a real life easy button on your phone to simplify and automate your life!

zeds ded December 20, 2015

Totally clueless I've had it a month now and I can't get it to do anything. Have no idea how to use it, there is no explanation or tutorial on how to use it. I'm seeing all these great reviews but nobody saying how to use it, I'm guessing they are fake reviews.

Peter Clinton December 13, 2015

Love It! But can you please add Android Wear support. Like make it so that you can put task shortcuts on your watch.

Fahed Barakat December 9, 2015

I got this app but sadly it is just too difficult to use. I thought i was very tech savy as an IT system administrator however i guess i need to be a developer to make use of the app. I did hope for a user template library where users could posted their tweaks and others just download them. but nothing of the sort.

Tim Allison December 6, 2015

Best app ever. Very easy to use from a programmer's prospective, very powerful, very good app.

Hoshi Inoue January 9, 2016

Great but Love the app, but can we get material design? This just looks so old.

Crafty Apps EU October 12, 2013

For Keyguard try the Secure Settings plugin (it's free). Don't know what 'update apps' means, try the support forum if you have a problem. Pent

Andrew Rump December 13, 2015

Jose Lopez December 25, 2015

Favorite App Has to be one of my top 3 app to download on any phone I own.

A Google User January 10, 2016

Must have for Android This is the reason you choose android over other platforms. Sorry, minus 4 stars because.. I trusted this app to protect my secrets with app locking feature but unfortunately didn't survive a device reboot.. what a big disappointment :((

Dave Furey December 7, 2015

Excellent App for Automation Great, Great app for automating tasks on your Android Phone. I'm using it on my Samsung S6 and it works great. It takes a bit to program each task, but once you get the hang of it it isn't too bad. The Developer's web site has a link to a Wiki with lots of examples. Definitely well worth the price if you want to automate daily tasks.

Anthony Fuller December 23, 2015

Doesn't work on my Verizon Note 4 UPDATE: Tasker was disabled somehow. Works like a charm. Love this app! ***It's seems the tasks and profiles work upon set up but after that nothing works. I have 5 profiles set and none of them are triggering anything anymore. REFUND!

Bobs Dragon December 9, 2015

I was ready to spend some time with the comprehensive tutorial/user guide for this complex beast to find out what all it can do and how to get it to do it but alas there is no such thing. Amateurish. Uninstalled.

UI needs a lot of work and has lost features/compatibility over the years with newer versions if Android.

Still loving it! There is a learning curve, but once you're past it, the possibilities are endless.

Roshan Babita Pokhrel December 23, 2015

Please ADD MORE BUILT-IN icons ?!? Its A BEST app to make it THE BEST, please add some more BUILT-IN ICONS so that we can change tasker icons in status bar as per the profile. Will update my rating after getting some more built-in icons. With Sorry Thanks in Advance for making it Possible!

PETER BERRY December 12, 2015

How good is it! Even for a non coder like me. Super useful..

Kevin McLeaster January 9, 2016

Turn stuff on and off? No more I have been a casual user of Tasker for years. What happened to the ability to set Bluetooth, WiFi, etc., on and off? I can only open a settings menu now.

Robin L December 23, 2015

First app everyone should install! Using it on my ZTE Maven running nonrooted Android 5.1. Works really well for all the automation that I do on my phone. I occasionally get the low memory warning, however my profiles still work flawlessly.
