Review summary

AutomateIt Pro is praised for its extensive automation functions and ease of use. Long-term users cherish its ability to manage phone settings and automate daily tasks effectively. However, recent app updates and newer Android versions have introduced numerous problems, including permission errors, failure of triggers, especially location and Bluetooth, and a lack of developer support. Users face challenges with inconsistent rule execution and missing backup features. Despite its potential, these issues have led to frustration among loyal users.

Pros

Powerful automation capabilities allowing control over phone settings like volume, Bluetooth, screen brightness, and notifications.
Long-term reliability with numerous users having used the Pro version for years.
Ability to customize various triggers and actions to simplify daily phone interactions.
Simpler task creation compared to some competitor apps.
Highly valued by users for automating routine tasks and acting as a personal assistant.

Cons

Recent updates and Android OS changes have caused many automation rules to fail or trigger incorrectly, especially location and Bluetooth-related triggers.
Permission issues after updates prevent certain functions like NFC scanning, backup/restore, and feedback submission, with 'fix it' buttons not resolving them.
Lack of developer support and response to bug reports and user queries.
Inconsistencies and unreliability in executing compounded rules and some specific actions like Bluetooth toggling and sound playback on Bluetooth speakers.
No or limited backup feature for rules, causing inconvenience when transferring to new devices and forcing reconfiguration.

2025-01-15	Jo*****	Well, it was pretty awesome until the last update. Something happened and now I have a red banner across the top that indicates permissions are needed. There is a blue button that says fix it but it does not do anything or tell you what the permissions are that are needed. I went to the app settings on my Galaxy s22 and there are no permissions that are denied the app. Pretty much useless now. I closed the app and cleared cache, restarted my phone but no change.

2025-01-14	Sc*****	Few months ago location quit working. Now I'm getting a service active notification that I don't know how to turn off. I'm being told it is lacking permissions, but all permissions are turned on. The fix it button for permissions does nothing. Been a pro user for a long while. App has went downhill in the last few months.
