Review summary

TouchTask is a free, ad-free Android plugin primarily used with Tasker for automating touch and gesture actions without rooting. Users appreciate its rich features and reliability compared to similar apps. However, common issues include unreliable tap actions especially on newer Android versions, occasional phone freezes, and difficulty removing persistent assistive icons. Users also report problems with text-based actions in certain apps and find the learning curve steep due to poor tutorial support. Overall, it is valued for functionality but has notable usability challenges.
Pros
  • Works well as a Tasker plugin allowing automation of tasks including tap and gesture actions.
  • Free app without ads, providing a good alternative to similar apps like AutoTools and AutoInput.
  • Does not require rooting the device to perform its functions.
  • Supports many features and integrates well with automation tools like Tasker and MacroDroid.
  • Good substitute for similar automation plugins, appreciated by users familiar with Tasker.
Cons
  • Tap action frequently does not work or is inconsistent, especially on newer Android versions like Android 10 and 14.
  • App may cause phone freezes or hangs during touch actions, particularly when starting an app from scratch before issuing a touch command.
  • Assistive touch icon appears on screen after permissions are granted and is difficult to remove, remaining even after app deletion.
  • Action by text sometimes fails on specific screens or apps where element picker detects text but clicking by text doesn't work.
  • Lack of comprehensive tutorials and difficulty in figuring out usage leads to user confusion and dissatisfaction.

Great idea for a plug-in, if it actually worked. Will not tap the screen. Running Android 14.

Great but on Android 10 lg g8, I had to revert to 2.2.0 because this newer version couldn't "see" text on screen. (Yes I made sure I gave all permissions)

Most plugins are not app-specific, meaning that any automation app can use Tasker plugins (and tasker can use others'), but for some reason the dev has decided to make it so that you have to use Tasker to change the plugin settings. This is fine, since enabling the coolest gestures would completely alter the way I have to use the phone's UI. Automagic (free from Automagic4Android) makes this worthless. My opinion.

Tried Autoinput and was disappointed with it constantly crashing. I came across TouchTask and so glad I did, it does what I need it to do, EVERY SINGLE TIME. Brilliant app without needing to root my tablet. Well done and thank you so much.

After giving all the permissions This assistive touch sort of icon appeared on my screen Now Im unable to remove it Even after deleting the app The icon is still there There should be a simple way to remove the icon

Gesture works, but tap doesn't. Update: The app doesn't give correct coordinates. I have to get corrected coordinates from developer options, pointer location.

Allows me to do things Tasker can't do on its own. Took about 15 minutes to figure out how it works though. PS: Your YouTube tutorial video sucks. It only explains the options which are self explanatory and doesn't show good examples of how to actually use the plugin. You should annotate the video with your voice rather than poorly and slowly typing in a notepad. (Why are you deleting my review?)

Great plugin not only fir Tasker but Macrodroid. It has so many features even though automation tools itself couldn't. However, it sometimes stacked while using with Macrodroid internal tap detector. It seems something conflicts.

It was working great until I changed phones and upgraded to Android to 10 now I cannot seem to get the tap action to work.
