TOTAL CONTROL
Not everything needs to be automatic, manually start complex tasks by clicking home screen widgets & shortcuts, Quick Settings tiles, notifications, media buttons on your Bluetooth headset, volume & other hardware buttons, by scanning NFC tags and more.

Well, this app is really amazing, thank you! I do realize the risks, but well, it does make sense to me, and after playing around with it for a bit, I saw its potential and bought it. I think your block system works really well, and the limit annoyed me. I would perhaps like folders to sort my macros, and it did feel like it would be easier if when you copied and pasted blocks that they were selected when you paste and an export all button. Anyways, it's pretty cool.

Folder for or tagging of flows in on the flow list screen is on the to-do list, until then use title prefixes, e.g. [work], [home], etc.. Please use the Help & feedback menu to submit feature requires.

A bit wonky, but easy to use. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on my new phone. I can't create connections. Yes, I know how the app works. Unfortunately, dragging the DOTS no longer makes the Dots follow my finger, so I can't connect them. It doesn't work anymore, sorry. Is there some sort of debugging option so I can help fix this app for newer versions of android? Reading the reviews, I know I'm not the only one with this problem on newer devices.

Drag the DOTS to connect the blocks. Must be a device issue since you haven't updated the app. Maybe you've recently installed some other app which interfere with the UI. Please use the Help & feedback menu to submit an issue report.

Has a mind of its own. Very buggy. Keeps failing to detect premium account. Automations don't run randomly... sometimes run.. Highly unreliable. Waste of time and money Edit - my initial review was AFTER disabled power save feature, after allowing it to run in background, everything that was needed. It just doesn't work. Highly erratic, cannot be trusted.
