aProfiles - Auto tasks, schedule profiles for Android
App was very good until latest update, now loads of ads. Willing to pay £5 for pro version not £15
One of the most useful Android apps, with profile and rules you can easily avoid interrupting other people while not missing any call/message.
Great app needed always.
Update: after last update and the new read/write permission?! location based rules do not work or take forever to work. Removed 1 star. Small learning curve, and not quite perfect yet, but really starting to like it. Seems to work better than others I have tried. It's been my daily profile manager for a month now (again) and it looks like it will be the one I keep.
Great application
Awesome thanks man
I've been using this app for well over a year, the app is great with good support. However, I will have to move on... The ads are far too annoying...a subscription for this app is ridiculous and the one time fee is way too high. This is not a unique or necessary enough app for me to pay that kind of money.
5 stars because it works great. Unfortunately after last update there is no way to remove the whole notifications: at least the last activated profile must be shown but it seems it is something required by android. And it full of ads, very annoying.
Was a good app, if too expensive for the subscription and lifetime versions, but latest updates have far too intrusive ads. I'll be looking for a replacement soon I think.
Good app.. Quick fix ????
Latest update has brought the app to rock bottom. First was the dev's greed & now the crappy app 'updates' . Profiles can be totally hidden but NO way to get Autorules icon to stay in status bar persistently even when I follow the FAQ's. Abandoning this horrible install.
Love it! But the latest change causes it to show 2 aProfiles icons in the notification (bar and lockscreen).
Why was adaptive removed for non-root users? Works just fine on my stock, unrooted Pixel XL. Also, the persistent notifications, even with the FAQ, are really annoying. Rolled back to previous build and turned off automatic updates for the app.
Very sad. Ads beyond anything that a reasonable person could expect, plus the pricing for PRO is outrageous. There are far better apps out there that do the exact same thing, but at a much cheaper price. And you're welcome for my comments.
$19.99 to purchase the app? Are you getting a lot of buyers at this price point? Yearly subscription is an option, but seriously, for a profile app? Really? And, "Thank you for your comments" to your customers who helped you in beta to refine your app and then change to a VERY high subscription / app purchase model without warning does not cut it sir! Sam, I understand folks need to make a living. Certainly, good amount of work and development hours to create and maintain aProfiles. Pricing is really far out of market. I do think you are a talented developer, but we'll need to part ways on this one.
Was great, but recent update added lots of very obnoxious and intrusive ads. Still does the job though.
Edited- Developer did write back pretty quickly and helped me to fix the problem. (Even though his auto reply email said that he would not be in touch for more than a month.) I am quite happy with this app and will gladly pay for a yearly or quarterly subscription. However, I do think that that lifetime purchase is far too expensive. I certainly won't have this phone long enough to make the purchase with while and who knows what what technology may be available on my next phone. But I will gladly support this developer because the reply was prompt and helpful. (October 17)***Do not pay for this app! I've been using this app for a few months and it's worked very well. Recent updates have required payment for what it's been doing all along to date. I don't have a problem with that, developers should be paid for a job well done. My problem is that I paid for the PRO version today and nothing has changed. I emailed the developer only to recurve an automated message that he's unreachable until Nov 20. If something changes, I will update my review, but do yourself a favor and wait until December to pay for this app or find another one.
1,150.00 INR for lifetime license seriously? Even tasker cost 199.99INR.
Way to expensive
Awesome! ????????
Gud
Does a good job managing processes. Gets a little tricky sometimes to manage location and time based rules together; instructions could be better. People freaking out about $3.99 annual cost are really cheap.
Takes a long time (up to 15 mins) for app to realise you are no longer near a particular WiFi. Would be better if this time lag were configurable.
Terrible update, disabled functionality and added adds. No warning about the change. Uninstalled.
Change of conditions without prior notice
I have used this app for a long time and recommended it to friends. I would have even been fine with the ads or paying for it, but a) I can't even find an easy way to pay or see how much the "pro" is and b) it turned off features with ZERO warning, which meant my phone rang while I was in the middle of a work meeting. These changes should have been announced PRIOR to implementation so people could know and make other arrangements. Also, if you are going to charge for an app, you need to make it easy to find that information IN the app. Third, if you are going to have an "ad" version, at least have the courtesy to not neuter that version's functionality. You can say "well, just pay and get the functions back!" But the reality is that you are being paid by the advertisers. You need to choose EITHER ads OR reduced function. Not both.
UPDATE: Down to one star due to developer greed. A new subscription model was implemented with no warning which has disabled previously free features and introduced intrusive adverts. I understand the developer needs to cover costs, but the rates are way too high. I hate needing to change to another solution; but I have now switched to a different solution whose one time price is less than the annual fee of this app. Granted, the other tool is not as simple to configure, but it can do much more once the learning curve is overcome.
Does what it says on the tin and works out of the box. It also looks pretty compared to other similar apps I have used and that is definitely a plus too. Thanks for the nice app dev and keep up the good work.
Nice UI and app, but price when out of beta...$19.99 (even w/ discount) is outrageous. Tasker, Trigger, and MacroDroid are popular apps that do this and more and are around $2.99 each. I'd be happy to pay for this app and support the developer if it were in the $2-$5 range. Hopefully dev will reconsider in the future.
After the latest update, the free version of this App has not only limited the profiles functionalities but also started showing annoying pop-up ads and banner ads.
I don't mind paying for apps I like and use but asking for monthly subscription or high lifetime membership fee is too much. Time to switch to another similar app.
Was great until ads popped up all over. Tried subscription but sadly did not get rid of ads or enable Normal.
After new version. It's not elegant what you have done.
It was great until the last update. But now is it full of ads and limited. Remove the subscription and make a one time pay solution and I'll install it again.
Whats happened to the Near WiFi option, my old rules which contain it are greyed out and its no longer available to select in the Add Conditions list? Im using MotoG4
Subscription? Seriously? Uninstalled. Can find better.
Absolutely not worth 20€... Missing lots of functionality and customisation for so much money...
Finally, a DnD automation app that works with OxygenOS. No more manual switching of the stupid OnePlus 5 alert slider every time I get to work. I just tried my configuration today and it muted everything automagically as soon as the phone connected to my work's WiFi! Definitely a 5-star app worth licensing!
Used to use another profile scheduler (called just that) but it was useless on android 7.0. This one works perfectly; no more embarrassing texts or calls while I'm teaching my students!

App is fine, but I don't like the notifications: either I disable all with Android, either I have to many... Not possible to have a notification only when a profile is active. Update: As per email, this is confirmed.
