This app is amazing. I've been using it for Android automation for years. Thank you to the developer for consistently updating and working so hard to make such a wonderful application!

This app is very resourceful in automating simple to advanced tasks, you wouldn't even think your phone could do this. This app makes everything worth automating be automated. It works great on uprooted phones at base, but if you have a rooted device, you could unlock the truest form of automation from this app. The app still gets updates from time to time. If you have any questions, they are very much active on reddit, etc. The app has a user-friendly UI. The app has no ads.

Been using this app for years! Paid for premium: it's WELL worth it. It can be time-consuming to program complex things but, for little Android annoyances, or changes you don't like, it's fantastic and satisfying (and kinda fun in a way, puzzling out a way to do something!) to be able to make workarounds! People mention Tasker, which may be slightly more powerful, but I've never been able to figure that out. Automate has a much more user-friendly method, and a far less-steep learning curve!

Set this up for special notifications when texts arrived from specific numbers. Tested fine when the app is open. Failed every time when the app wasn't in focus, even though the status bar clearly shows "fibers running."

Where the #$&$did this app come from and how did it get on my phone! It was actually fixing to make a purchase when I picked up my phone! I didn't download this, and it showed an auto update?, Please explain!

I have made an automation which works perfectly at starting but after some days when I start the automation, and it completes it's first flow then suddenly "Automate App opens". It keeps opening after 2-3 completed flow. Help me to stop the automate app opening again and again. I have tried : clearing cache disabling accessibility and enabling it again Clear Logging but these things doesn't make the app stop to reopening again. Also, Thank you for making this powerful application.
