Review summary

Users praise AutomateIt for its simple, stable automation and time-saving capabilities, with many enjoying free basic features and reliability over years. However, recurrent issues appear across multiple reviews: ongoing permission problems (missing/granted prompts and 'permission not granted'), broken backup/restore of rules after updates, plugin- and 64‑bit compatibility problems (plugins not loading or unavailable), inconsistent support from developers, and device/OS compatibility problems (OnePlus, Pixel, OneUI) leading to services stopping or features failing. Overall sentiment is mixed: strong utility when it works, but frequent blockers hinder long‑term use.

Pros

Simple and stable automation app with free basic features.
Does what it says and saves time with multiple automations.
Reliably handles battery-level automation and other tasks.
Has been amazing for years with ongoing usefulness.
Overall very useful for automating routine actions.

Cons

Persistent permission issues: missing/granted prompts or 'permission not granted' messages.
Backup/restore of rules often broken after updates.
Plugins/64-bit compatibility problems: plugins not loading or no longer available.
Poor or non-existent developer support.
Device/OS compatibility problems (OnePlus/OneUI, Pixel) causing services to stop.

2025-06-14	Ri*****	I'm just trying this out, and as best as I can tell you can only perform one action on a given task. With other apps, I can open Arlo and tell it to do one of its optional actions. All I can do with this is tell it when to start the app.
