★★★★★ "full-blown scam. I couldn't see how to opt out of pro trial. the trial didn't register as a subscription yet so I can't cancel it. I can't delete my account because it claims active subscription. so I guess I have to wait till the trial end…" - John Wuethrich

একদম ফালতু app এটা ইউজ না করাই ভালো কখন থেকে ট্রাই করছি চালু হচ্ছে না sign up হয় না 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 বোরিং
This app has the worst interface I think I've ever seen in an app. I didn't think it was possible. This has to be satire.
previous free and useful features now paywalled
full-blown scam. I couldn't see how to opt out of pro trial. the trial didn't register as a subscription yet so I can't cancel it. I can't delete my account because it claims active subscription. so I guess I have to wait till the trial ends then force a refund through Google? there's not a report button strong enough. I hope the individual or group that owns this gets deported to Nigeria. integration I wanted didn't even work. now I have to mark dates on my calendar or they steal money
I googled about this app and it says that I could get free account to warn me about the weather reaching to 24 degrees, but it immediately says that I needed to subscribe. not happy, as I am fed up subscribing to this subscribing to that. what happened to a life time aps
kept telling me that I was in San Francisco instead instead of Brighton Colorado. unable to get it to work for location specific tasks (weather notifications). useless.
doesnt work at all on free version. so ya pop ups to pay yep i wanna pay for an app that doesnt work
not free, only a 7 day trial.
should be free
used to be a really cool service that has fallen to enshittification. Edit: took the review down to 1* for a clearly AI generated response from the dev.
Decided to download this app to set up some automations that are not available through Google or Samsung. I used to use this app all the time, but haven't used in a few years. I just downloaded the app and it will not even let me log in. I tried all of the options without success. I cleared the data and cache within the app and still cannot do anything with it.
seriously the literal one thing I wanted was to sync my smart bulb with sleep with android BUT NOOOOO webhook is locked behind a paywall???? A SUBSCRIPTION PAYWALL???? EVEN SLEEP BY ANDROID HAS A LIFETIME PAYMENT. Could've had a user of the app. could've had a lifetime purchase. could've had a 5 star review. but no y'all chose to have everyone hate y'all. nice one guys. nice one
the app got worse?
I had this app originally back in 2016-2020. it worked incredibly. But greed has taken over the minds of every app company out there and now everyone wants a subscription based model. I was down to pay a one time app fee, but 30/year for one trigger on ONE app is a hard no for me. Disappointing.
it was one of the best apps of is kind. How to kill a great idea. Now with AI you don't need it anymore. good for us. price became nonsense
All features i needed are behind paywall. I'll do fine with other services.
I used to love this app, until the free tier became insanely strict. They ruined the app in hopes of more people paying more money for it.
I say to myself let me download this app again, it's been a long time.. like I believe with the AI going on, this app will have a lot of amazing stuffs, but getting to the review section it's really alarming.. I think I should back off.
had this in the past. they went right to subscriptions when everything used to be free. what a wonderful way to destroy what used to be a good app...the reviews show. now send your canned response and move on. I highly recommend tasker or automate for any people looking for what this used to be.
I'd use alexa instead..its free and works with everything. same stuff like this but not behind a pay wall
Garbage.
I hate apps that waste my time then bring up a paywall at the end. Needed to add Google caledar, could have been clicked off if I knew it was paywalled.
im really disappointed in the direction they decided to take in this app when it has a lot of potential. being locked behind a paywall from feature people actually downloaded this app for is a obvious cash grab. having the ability to use 2 free applets sounds nice. however it doesnt work they way it used to. now despite being in the limit of 2 applets it still requires me to get a pro subscription to use the applets that were originally free. disappointing.
I hope this company close down for good for forcing user to subscribe. Free applets are practically useless now! Cant restore my previous applets before getting forced with a subscribe page! Pack up and leave!
subscription killed it. this is ridiculous now.
It used to be great, now everything is behind the paywall.
it has lost most permissions
hell naw, i aint paying that much. no wonder yall got low reviews.
False advertising, trial doesn't work with the trial. I'm un installing because I can't test. Junk! Trash!
greed won here.
basic things require paid subscription
Had an original pro licence that wasn't honoured now expect me to pay monthly for somthing you can do on Tasker, automate or macrodroid for a one-off charge.
another company that started out with good intentions/products and then got greedy and stopped caring as much about the community as it does robbing you of monthly fees
Absolute Garbage 1 star is too much for this bug ridden Garbage. Can't believe play store even lists it let alone allows these criminals to charge a subscription for it. Can't even create the simplest routine. Went to set the date but doesn't work. Not going to even bother wasting my time to explain the rest. Long story short the app has been uninstalled and subscription cancelled. Never to return.
£130+/Yr 😲!? When this first came out, it was worth the effort. Now, for me, it's time to uninstall. Shame ☹️
veri poor app plz don't download. your mail & contact noheked . no support team r no delete opsan pass word not provide
greedy company
This app is too expensive for what it is, and what it can do, and the free trial is too short for me to even understand what is possible with it. I saw the price and uninstalled immediately.
i wasnt able to create a single entity. In 10 HORRIBLE first 10 minutes of using this app it tried very agressively to force me to pay BEFORE I EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THIS APP. Its everywhere. Every button you click - redirects you to pay page. Its horrible...
annoying persistent free trial banner
due to the downfall of Google removing every useful app and devices (exp Google nest which only had very short run span they discontinued the service for it like Google glass along with keep note location reminders etc etc) I really have no use for this app since they restricted every free control of my devices and this is just taking up space on phone since I can't do anything really useful with it. I like this app when I had control over my devices but now.....I hate what googles has done.
limited
totally scamed beware of this pls
Yet again, even more things that used to be free now require a pro subscription...
worse
They've gone money hungry. I used to be able to start my roomba when I left the house, and have it stop and dock if it was running when I came home. Since the Feb 23rd 2026 update, this functionality is gone "because it uses PRO features." Specifically, it talks to my Roomba. Way to go IFTTT. Your money grubbing has lost you a long time customer, and cost you a bad review. I'm sure you're heatbroken.
need to pay
becose my one task nees pro+ I need to pay for year?!
useless. seems like I can do nothing for free to even know if I'd want to pay. I used to use it all the time, but have become so frustrated.
Used to be better, sucks now with so many paywalls
