Specify rules that trigger events under certain conditions. There are other apps that already do that, but this one has different features.
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.
