Would not run on my Samsung A32 with latest updates. Only flashed the screen. Had to uninstall.

good app to trigger apps for different action. But how to trigger sub-function of any app(I want to trigger screen recorder app whenever the device is un locked. )

Finally an app that does what Ive been looking for. I needed to have something that automatically enters SystemUI killing command in terminal upon turning off the screen, everything works perfect

Doesn't work with my galaxy tab 2 android 4.1.2 gt p3100. Just installed, and its shows on automateit, but as I put the commands in there, doesn't change anything, like "input keyevent, input tap, input swipe, or other commands"

Love the add on. Is it possible to add scp module to shell execution though?

I first commented that it didn't work with the Pro version. The developer replied (quickly - thank you!) with a suggestion for fixing. Had already tried the suggestion but it didn't work. Checked the app the next day and now see the Plugins option.

Just kidding as I do not know shell commands but modify them, this is a great plugin which works well and works for me, I will also learn shell commands in the process because I like the app so it is a good thing.

Tried to install and it fails to recognize that AutomateitPro is installed. So will not integrate OR run. Completely USELESS if you pay for Pro upgrade!!!!
