Such a versatile software, and fairly easy to learn how to do simple things. Lots of support online. I just got a new OnePlus 6 and was missing features from past ROMs like CM. I did not want to root it yet but with Tasker, I was able to do everything I wanted, and more! Wanted phone to be unlocked at home when connected Wifi, done! Wanted wifi turned on when I get home in case I turned it off, done! Wanted Spotify launched when I plug in my car's AUX cable, done! Wanted screen to be left on while Spotify is running in my car, done! Now I'm just sitting here wondering what else I can do to improve my quality of life with my phone... Thanks, dev!
Reviews for Tasker
← Back to TaskerFor years Tasker has been my go-to tool of choice for solving all manner of Android challenges. From fixing annoyances (like forcing my phone to always remain on silent) to mini-apps (like one to track our little one's changing/feeding schedule), Tasker does it all. As a professional programmer, I'm always looking for ways to automate and streamline things. Tasker let's me do this with ease on my device. This is the app to master to get the most out of your phone.
As a developer, Tasker gives me the kind of power over my device that I could only dream of with my iPhone. It requires you be the type of person who doesn't mind trying things and working to perfect your rules, but if you are that type of person you can do some amazing things. The plugin architecture makes it even more powerful once you grab a few. Be sure to look at the work of 'joaomgcd' in particular.
Tasker is a fantastic app that I've used for many years. Unfortunately, every day, multiple times a day, I'm told that my "trial" is over, even though I paid for the app. I am the required to enable data at that exact moment so it can reauthenticate my license just so I can keep using the app. I wouldn't mind if it were once a year, but every day is unacceptable. It's gross that fighting piracy means screwing over the people that did the right thing.
I'm new to Tasker but I can tell you this much... it's possibilities are infinitely limitless. Even gives you a database of pre-made tasks and profiles that will blow your mind just sorting through. It basically takes all your individual apps and turns them into an interconnected web of utilities that will serve you in any way you need it to. Sky isnt even the limit.
I paid for this app to control Bluetooth data to play a sound when certain conditions are met. Now I have to pay nearly as much for a plugin from the same developer. having received a reply which makes sense I have decided to add a star. It would be beneficial for the plugins to have a trial period to make sure it is the one we need. 3 days trial would be great
Excellent and very useful app! Has a bit of a learning curve, but definitely worth the small time investment and modest price. Root access opens up more options (e.g. controlling hidden LED on recent Moto phones to take place of missing notification light), but isn't necessary for most functions. I use it also to auto-enable do-not-disturb when plugged in overnight, change input method when Bluetooth keyboard connects, turn off flashlight when placed on magnetic holder in the dark, lots more...
Tasker is one of the most useful apps I use. I work in the field of Assistive Technology. A lot of my job is making devices (tablets/phones) more accessible for people through using macros and custom, simplified, interfaces. Tasker enables me to do all this and more. It does have a learning curve as does any app with such a broad scope. But, there are lots of resources out there and the developer is extremely quick and responsive if there's ever the need to contact them.
Amazing product. You can make your phone do ANYTHING. I initially installed it on my old Samsung phone, which had absolutely miserable battery life, because I wanted to keep the WiFi turned off when my car Bluetooth was connected. That was a piece of cake, and then I figured out about a million other things to do with it: read text messages out loud when the headset I wear when I'm running is connected, switch to vibrate mode when I'm at work, remember the location where I park my car so I can navigate back to it if I forget, and that's just the Bluetooth/WiFi-related ones. There's a learning curve, for sure, but it's a wildly powerful app.
I've always been "scared" of how much tasker offers, and that I would never find or get a use out of it. I took the plunge, and let it sit on my phone for months. Once I finally sat down, and looked even surface level, I figured out several new scenarios that it can control, and has been an absolute pleasure learning how to configure and use tasker. Wifi now is auto-toggled (no more draining battery!) and bluetooth as well. Several others like volume by time of day have made work easier!
Astonishingly capable program (when coupled with some of its companion tools). Lets me customize and automate many things so that the Android phone is much more usable to me. Astonishingly rapid response to a simple support question, too. If you are at all able to program, and want to make things work the way you want, get this code. Best value for money in a long long while.
I love Tasker, it's literately THE app that makes me choose Android over iOS. I've been building with it for years. It can be a little complicated to learn but you can basically transform your phone to work exactly how you want it to. I use it to get my screen extra dim at night. find and control my phone by SMS if I lose it, automatically send happy birthday texts and some network security controls over other apps, etc. etc. I just wish the UI creation tools were more polished but still A++
Excellent app that let's you script just about anything on your phone. Use to automate tasks based on time, location, status, received messages and much more. There are tons of tutorials and samples online. I'm always finding new ways to use Tasker to customize my phone and tablet. Tasker is a terrific hackers tool for your Android device. GET IT!!
Tons better than it was a year ago, but still misses some events. I have it speak the name of the person texting and it misses about 1 in 4 times (doesn't speak the name). It's like it doesn't know the text arrived. Also, as of a few updates ago, it doesn't use the correct language pack every time. It alternates between my system language and some unknown English accent which I don't recognize.
I have been using Tasker for several years and find it extremely helpful to automate many useful tasks that other automation programs have not been able to. Although Tasker can have a steep learning curve, it is well worth learning and there is an active online community which is very helpful to find how to implement a specific action you want to perform in Tasker. The developer has also been very responsive when I have contacted him in the past.
I've been using Tasker since 2013 and it's the first app I load when I upgrade my phone. It's fairly easy to set up, even if you aren't a tech-head. There is a great community of users online that share different profiles they've created, with walk-throughs on how to load them. it's easy to see why this app has over a million downloads. I've seen articles mentioning over FIVE million downloads. In 8 years, I've had one issue. The issue was caused by an android upgrade. I reached out to the developer in a link on the app and he contacted me with the fix a few hours later. Not days... HOURS. Five stars every day of the week.
Tasker would still be a bargain at twice the price. First app I ever purchased; first installation I make on every new phone. Solid. Years of increasingly complex use without a single app failure or drag on my system/battery. An ever-expanding library of quality third-party plug-ins (& intents) makes it even more powerful and accommodating.
Tasker takes a bit of learning, but you can do a lot with it. What's really nice though, is the quick response and useful help you get when you request help from the author! I really recommend the program as long as you are able and willing to do some programming. As an example, I get so many Spam calls now a days. So, I made a program to block calls from everyone who isn't in my contact. With my own program, I don't have to worry about privacy issues from sharing things with vendor's servers. (Some apps ask you to share why you block the phone numbers you block in their apps.)
This app is what makes an Android phone, well, an Android phone. Other "profile" apps are poor substitutes or wannabees. And to pass it up when it's priced at $1.99 should be a punishable crime. And if you can't make it work the way you want, it's no one's fault but your own. It takes a while to ramp up to speed, but it is well worth it. The developer is first class and heavily involved. There are numerous Tasker help resources on the web (Google Groups, Pocketables to name a couple). Take
This might be the greatest app ever made for Android. Learning to use it takes some effort, but the payoff is incalculable. I can reliably automate 90% of what I do on my phone/tablet. Plus, third party plugins add even greater functionality. If I ever decide to get a tattoo, the Tasker icon makes my short list. If the world can have Ford, Chevy and Dodge people, there's room Tasker people.
