If you have feature requests, problems or questions please send me an email. If you find a bug please use the error reporting feature and give me a chance to fix the bug before you post a bad review.
Because of Google restrictions I've had to remove more and more features from the app. If you don't like that, have a look at my website.

Amazing app to those who are complaining try the apk itself because of the stupid restrictions by Google the Play Store version may not work properly.

Excellent app ! I have spent years looking for an app able to automatically enable mobile data whenever I disconnected from my home's Wi-Fi network (and vice-versa) WITHOUT using GPS location, and this app was the only one who could do it. I am very glad for finding it and for giving it a try. Well done dev, please keep up the good work ! Also, I want to offer my collaboration to translate it to Brazilian Portuguese, please let me know how to proceed.

Will not use Bluetooth connection as trigger. Permission not requested and app crashes out.

Crap!! Crashed on first run and refused to work on s6 edge plus. Never had any other app do this. Bye bye

This app wants permissions it just doesn't need. You asked, almost every permission you list and those you don't. You're not a programmer. You're an app user who generates apps. Your parents must be proud. You can't play on my level. I can write code in binary in ASCII or EBCDIC. You must know I have you pegged as an abuser, because you attacked me. Download this app if you want your privacy violated. I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong. Your "app" doesn't even work.
