A Must Have This is probably the best app for Android. I have used this app and several of its plug-ins for years on multiple phones and other android devices. If you want to automate your phone for almost anything, you must install this app. As a developer myself, I can truly appreciate the work the developers put into this app. You don't need to root your phone for this app to be awesome, but a rooted phone gives you more options. Great job developers, you hit it out of the park with this one.

Braedan Newell

By far the best automation app. Even though it's complex, it's supposed to be due to how unlimited it is! The scripting addition is really a nice kicker for me because I also love coding, and the more I learn, the better I am with the more important functions! Love these developers to death, GREAT customer support, they deserve every penny they get from this! 10/10 would code my tablet to murder everything on a game again!

Luke D

Not as good as AutoMagic This has lots of potential to be the best app on the market but the features aren't as extensive as Automagic. On tasker we still can't turn the screen on... Have voice recognition or have instructions to help the user. Why can't the developers include these features when other apps manage it?

Sridhar Ananthanarayanan

Fantastic... Amazing automation app without doubts. Has a steep learning curve. One problem noted is with wallpaper. I have set it to change the wallpaper during charging. However, when it reverts to the original wallpaper when power is disconnected, it reduces the quality of the wallpaper as seen on screen. I have to manually set the wallpaper each time to maintain its quality/appearance. Further, there doesn't seem to be a way to execute app activities/ actions, and as a result I use it in conjunction with Llama.

Molly Smith

Give it a try Don't let the price put you off, this is a very useful app. I'm still learning how it works so have only created a few simple tasks so far, but the potential is huge & the possibilities seem endless. There are lots of online tutorials to help learn how to use it so I'd highly recommend giving it a try.

My most favorite app of all! This app saves me tons of time. It automates my life. It performs some really complicated tasks without any interactions on my part. I send texts, clock in/out at work, and even call my wife automatically on my drive home. This is one of the few apps I've given 5-stars. Thanks Tasker Dev team!

Likely Utter, Pebble Tasker or the Tasker trial are blocking install, see the Tasker forum for details.

Incredible - So useful This is a must-have app for people like me who want to automate their device, and make it do things that you'd expect to happen by default. I have a smartwatch which won't auto reconnect when it losses Bluetooth connection. Tasker solves the problem, and does it very easily.

Victor Kohnke 21 June 2016

It can be a little daunting but well worth the effort Tasker is great and you can do almost anything with it but it can seem daunting. Don't let all of these capabilities scare you! The community has hundreds of examples for you to follow and setup useful actions that will make your Android phone/tablet even more useful!

Kyle Nolan 22 June 2016

Number One App I'll echo the learning curve aspect, but once you figure it out the app the sky is the limit. My phone auto detects when I am at work and silences itself when I have a meeting. I would pay $20 for this one.

Vikesh Dhatterwal 4 July 2016

The most powerful tool on Android It is ~~one of~~ the best automation tool for Android. The only thing that jt lacks is the elements where a user interaction comes in including the notification system(one action for each button, it should be an anonymous task in itself, no click event for notification) and the UI of scenes created. The elements are very limited and the things they can do are too. And a few bugs here and there like caching of values. I know it is not an IDE, but these things are generally expected, but I still love it.

John B 12 October 2016

I like this app, but only had it 4 days before my Note 7 was recalled. I requested a refund on day 5, which was 2 days ago, by sending an email to the address in the application, but have heard nothing so far.There is suppose to be a 7 day refund period for this app. Will give more stars once resolved.

Emily Raabe 8 July 2016

Fun for anyone who loves to tinker with their phone Suprisingly intuitive layout. I love being able to automate tasks that I previously had to download individual bulky apps to do. Great no-root-needed option for customizing and automating the heck out of your phone. Pairs well with Zooper Widget Pro.

Steven Tannickal 2 August 2016

I absolutely love it! This is one of my favorite apps/tweaks. There is just so much you can automate with this. I highly recommend using this. There is a learning curve at first but once you get the hang of it you will never be able to back to the days without tasker. It's just that good. This is one of the most useful apps you can use on Android! (I'm on a Nexus 6P, Pure Nexus Rom, Elementalx Kernel, Xposed, rooted.)

David Perez 25 July 2016

MacroDroid App is 100 times easier I tried using Tasker but it was just too complicated. I tried MacroDroid instead and it is so much easier to use and understand. The user interface on MacroDroid is extremely easy to understand and use. It took me less than 5 minutes to create the settings I wanted and it works perfectly.

James Watkins 20 June 2016

Greatest app ever! Every phone should have this app. Endless possibilities. To those who think this app is 'complicated', it's only as complicated as you allow it to be. Here's the basics: A profile is an action that your phone can do that you want Tasker to initiate a start or end task to. A task, whether it's a starting or ending task, is a list of actions that Tasker automates. When a profile becomes active, the start task runs down down the list. When an active profile is no longer active, the end task runs.

David Medawar 8 September 2016

Used to be five star. Invert not working Nexus 6p on either MM or N, Galaxy S7 on MM - In all cases, invert is backwards of what it should be. Main issue with BT connected state. Even when I disconnect from BT device, profile is active. Tasker has all permissions granted. This is a showstopper issue. Fix it.

Allan Dickson 7 July 2016

I have used this for solving all sorts of little problems. Thanks to Tasker my phone never makes noise in church during worship because a tasker profile puts it into ultra silent mode when gps or church wifi signa shows I am there and it is sunday. I used it to solve a problem with my son wanting to text me when I was driving to pick him up, but then not wanting to answer his phone. I built a tasker profile so that when it was close to time to pick him up, and I was moving fast, it read his texts out loud and turned my spoken reply into a text to reply to his.

Steve M 26 June 2016

Long time lover of the app but... Lately it hasn't been working right. Periodically a task is supposed to activate and it doesn't. When I go into tasker to manually activate the task to see what it is doing nothing happens. Disabling and re enabling tasker fixes it temporarily. Very strange. Very annoying. Samsung s5, marshmallow.

Michael 29 August 2016

How a plugin api can ruin a program Plugins are a neat way for a dev to focus on the essentials while the community can do the less popular stuff right? Well in Taskers case plugins are more or less essential since the developer is too lazy to implement anything but the bare minimum. That would be fine if the plugins wouldn't cost 6 bucks a pop or a subscription. Not the devs fault you say? Yes it is, too lazy too add features too lazy to create a proper EULA that prevents your customers from being exploited. Also, the UI is aids.

Joshua Guberman 8 August 2016

Automate Everything. If you can conceive of an automation, it's probably possible with Tasker. It might require a number of plugins and extra steps to make something without built-in Tasker functionality work, but you'll get there if you keep at it. This app has fundamentally altered the ways in which I interact with my phone. Rather than being a slave to its notifications and power needs, my phone now works for me. No programming experience is necessary. Through some Google-fu and perseverance, you'll be automating things in no time and used to thinking programatically.

Chris Straub 11 August 2016

Disabled functions, overly complicated. I bought this app to set a task for my screen to not sleep while running an app only to find out that functionality has been disabled in this version of the software. Additionally, even when I set rather simple profiles (from 11pm to 6am) to simple tasks (set mobile data to off) they don't trigger. This app came free with my Droid Razr (the original, probably circa 2011?) And it was so much easier to use.

Andreas Hartmann 1 October 2016

Poor Android N compatibility This is THE essential android app - but the trigger keeps crashing on nougat and really needs a fix. Also causes crashes in Google play services when trying to trigger Bluetooth.

Paul Simon 29 June 2016

Was working good until last update When ,a app terminutes tasker was meant to detect and restart service it seems to not doing it all the time now.. also I import a backup,scripts and it didn't fully work with frep plugin to start its script shortcut it would call the wrong one. I fix by reediting the call and reselecting even though it looked right it fixed it.

Mike Bee 26 July 2016

Used to be good Now it sucks. I used it to disable the radio when logged onto Wi-Fi to save battery. Or simply to kill cell radio (airplane mode) if no coverage, it no longer does this. It did when I BOUGHT it, then it changed and made me sorry I wasted my money.....

Greg Palladini 10 July 2016

ZTE WARP ELITE N9518 I Don't Know..I Want to,but I just can't.. Not All Apps Fault,But It's Hard to Understand..I install,pay,try,uninstall,install, uninstall,& I'll try again..I hoping to have some sort of understanding,&/or just be able to know how to take advantage,even knowledge,from this App's possibilities..

Mujahid shaikh 8 August 2016

Refund Is their any way I can get my money back. I have created lots of task and still tasker is showing no active profile. Also it is telling to buy extra plugin to send tweet from tasker. Recommendation: Buy it if you are master in Coding. Or else don't waste your time.

Jeff Vaughn 24 August 2016

Good but lacks functionality For instance, Automate can turn my torch on, Tasker can't. Tasker has to outsource to so many things that some other automated apps don't. And the other guy is right, it's unnecessarily complicated ...

Geoff O. 2 September 2016

Unnecessarily complicated! Llama, which is fantastic, is not supported on Marshmallow, so I tried this. Even as a programmer and tech nerd, this app is unbelievably unintuitive and confusing, especially for an app that won an award.

Nikolay Jeliazkov 22 June 2016

Good tool, but... ... no root access for some basic functions like browse/read/write files in /data directory for example?! But copy files has root access?! Where is the logic of that? What a disappointment for such a powerful app... That is unacceptable!!! It kills it...

Ken Ume 29 September 2016

Finally gave in... it's not bad, but no support Most Android Automation apps let me down usually failing without warning or degrading reliability over time. Tried Tasker and it worked fine, first time. It's complicated but I persevered and got some my reward. Support is nonexistent and the help log are about as accessible as Snowden's password post it. Exit actions are unreliable on a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

Neil Bryson Cargamento 7 October 2016

UNLIMITED POWER!!!! Tasker is a simple-looking but extremely powerful automation app. Automate everything like making your phone speak when your Bluetooth device got disconnected or automatically kill Spotify at 2330H.

Juan R. 15 September 2016

Root is not being recognized by Tasker Good app but I can't seem to be able to gain root. Running the latest SuperSU & Tasker. The message I get is ".. Try secure plugging & rooted device" I have other apps that require root working properly why isn't Tasker recognizing root?

Herman Rand 27 August 2016

Love it Love the app, but after the Android Nougat upgrade it seems like Tasker is causing force close on Google play services. I recon it's a small bug fix, but other then that... Fantastic! ☺

Nathaniel Cassel 16 July 2016

Can't get it to work. Just wanted it to read my notifications from SmartThings app. Sadly it sits there doing nothing. Great UI though.

Joal Heagney 6 September 2016

Like the app Okay. So my first review complained about not having an or trigger. Then I read the faq and found there's a very good reason why it doesn't. Still want an invert option for Locations though. :P

Mike Joynt 27 August 2016

Complicated: Read the Guides After reading the beginner's guide, I was able to get tasker to do just what I purchased it for. But, there is SO MUCH MORE! You could get lost in this app.

B Davis 28 July 2016

Please fix I recieve emails in my sms box but tasker does not see it. I would like tasker to see it as sms please

Jordan Dyckes 19 September 2016

Isn't working Despite setting up some tasks and triggers it doesn't even do anything. I'm fully rooted and very disappointed. Edit: worst of all half the features don't work in 5+ and requires an additional plugin/app, very pathetic given the cost, this should be built-in, not recommend for the cost. Edit 2: Utter piece of crap, can't do anything in Android Marshmallow, why won't the dev get of their asses and fix it, you could easily create an xposed module to solve it. Feel like I've wasted my money on this.

Shantanu Garg 13 July 2016

Its not user friendly Difficult to use... it might be great, but we dont know how to code phone...had we, why would i need this app.

Ivan Kotlaja 26 August 2016

Very powerful Tasker already has enough reputation so, not much I should say. There are a few bugs still. Tasker crashes on the Notify Action for me...
