Comments on AutomateIt - Device Automation for Android
★★★★★Robert Morton· Mar 29, 2022
Completely excellent app. There address so many functions within a cell phone that can be automated. If you can conceive a function for your phone to perform, then you can probably program your phone to do it!! Enjoy.

★★★★☆Cheng Jung Huang· Jan 10, 2025
I would like to switch Wi-Fi on/off, what app should install first?
★★☆☆☆Scott Merrill· Oct 29, 2024
Previous review was 5 star. Recently, all my Bluetooth trigger rules were deleted by the app, and I can no longer add Bluetooth rules.
★★☆☆☆Jeremy Jean· Jan 4, 2025
This app used to work on my OnePlus 10 Pro to automate turning the phone's Wi-Fi radio on and off when entering and leaving home. The latest app update in Dec. 2024 for Automate It broke a few things and stopped it from being able to back up and restore rules. Now I just see an error message, "Permission Not Granted", when I try to back up my rules.
