Review summary

IntentTask is a free and reliable app that enhances Tasker by enabling advanced intent sending on Android 10 and 13. It supports multiple apps and is praised for developer support. However, users report issues with certain intents (like geolocation), app shortcut launching especially on third-party launchers, and an annoying 'open with' dialog bug. The app's infrequent updates raise maintenance concerns, affecting newer devices and user experience. Overall, it is well-liked but has notable functional limitations and some bugs impacting usability.
Pros
  • Works well on newer Android versions like Android 10 and Android 13
  • Integrates effectively with Tasker, enhancing intent-sending capabilities beyond Tasker's native options
  • Supports sending intents to various apps like VLC, Yeelight, Mi Home, and WOL app
  • Free to use and reliable compared to similar apps
  • Developer provides good support and updates (though infrequent)
Cons
  • App struggles with certain intents such as geolocation, calendar, and mail intents
  • Issues launching app shortcuts with third-party launchers like Nova Launcher; works better with stock launchers
  • App triggers 'open with' dialog repeatedly despite default app settings, causing user frustration
  • Last update was a year ago, raising concerns about maintenance and compatibility with newer devices
  • Some users experienced bugs causing shortcuts to be disabled or launcher selection problems

It works on Android13 - my previous tasker initent using SENDTO stopped working and even sending a plugin request through to the WOL app refused to go through. This recreates that intent to the WOL app and now all working perfect :)

Works great to send stuff to VLC but somehow it can't send to mpv-android with the same paramater as Tasker's send intent action.

I SO wanted this to work. On note 20 ultra - whenever I launch it, the "previuos apps" screen pops up with a launcher selection in the background that I canxt click. Managed to somehow define it as default launcher but none of the shortcuts worked. Last update was 1 year ago, so I assume this plugin is no longer maintained and will not work on newer phones. Real shame...

Was looking for a simple way of defining an intent with four extras within Tasker - Tasker's own 'send intent' is limited to three. This free(!) app was recommended as an alternative to trying to put together some JavaScript code to do it (a worthy endeavour but something for a rainy day). Called as a plugin from Tasker, it worked first time and am very happy - thank you to the developer for putting it out there!

I created Tasker shortcut that uses the app shortcut intenttask action (as you suggest). But everytime I launch that shortcut it asks me to choose launcher. I choose Nova and nothing happened. Only if I choose my stock LG launcher than app shortcut will work properly. But I won't to use Nova and be able to launch my created app shortcut...
