Timeriffic for Android
If you don't want those annoying calls in the middle of the night or Facebook messages that wake you up this is great. I would like it to allow emergency numbers. If something happens while this app is active I won't know until morning or if I wake up to see my phone flashing. It is still a great app.
This app used to be the most important app in the android world. Since the Nougat update on my GS7 it has not worked reliably. I attempted to contact the developer but it seems that they have gone dark. I would sure love to see it updated.
What happened? Is this app no longer monitored? I can't count on it anymore it allows my phone to ring at times that I've programmed it not to ring and is low when it should ring loud. I checked the setting and they're right. It's the app malfunctioning. Anyone know an alternative app that's actually dependable?
The scheduled events do not autostart after the phone is rebooted. I had set in the application management to keep Timeriffic running all the time not to be killed during screen off. Occasionally, the phone is rebooted. I do remember to restart the Timeriffic app. However restarting the app alone doesn't mean the schedule tasks will work again. They do not work until i pick one of them, and edit it. Only then the scheduled tasks begin to be executed.
It used to work great a coupe of years ago but this last year it has only worked half the time. I've missed so many calls because it hasn't turned the volume back up and I've been woken up or pulled back from the precipice of sleep by it not turning the volume down. I'm going to find an app that works every time.
I've loved this app for years, and with the new export and import features it's incredible. Have donated in appreciation. However app largely useless now. Abandoned. Doesn't support do not disturb permissions. Use Silence Premium instead.
Absolutely awesome when/then tool for automating work/home/weekend behaviors. Not as useful for those of you without a regular schedule but for the rest of us, phenomenal. - update: working erratically on Samsung S8
A recommended app for any device tool chain. It's among the first I install when I get a new phone - can't live without it. The only thing I'd like to see is a GPS setting ... turn it back to low-battery mode automatically.
This app was great on my Note 3 but doesn't work right on my S7. I have to keep turning it off and back on to make it continue working which defeats the purpose. Really a bummer.
This used to be a five star app. Set it and forget it unless you were recommending it to friends. However something about the upgrade to Nougat broke the reliability on my S7.
I used this on my Samsung S4 with ICS, and it worked good. Upgraded to Note 5 running Lolipop 5.1.1 and was woke up last night to the sound of a notification, vibration and LED from Facebook. Why? I had notifications, vibration and system sounds all set to off. Also, this app lacks the ability to disable or turn off the LED. Updated 4-30-17: this app no longer works since my Note 5 upgraded to Nougat. The developer web site no longer exists. Sad, this WAS a great app. Updated 5-29-17: added timerific to "unmonitored apps" (settings - device maintenance - battery) and this resolved the issue with it not working.
You guys are the bomb! New features take it over the top! This app is a must have! If your thinking about installing DO IT! You won't regret it!
Perfect app for years ... bragged about it! Now no updates in months and the last update took away the notification option. Supposedly is tied in with ringer volumn but it's not...ringer set to 5% at night, notifications 100%....VERY disatisfying. Looking for new app
I used to tell everyone about this app, but now it is very inconsistent with my Samsung s6. It stopped working properly around May and subsequent phone and app updates haven't helped. It will seem fine some days and suddenly I get an embarrassing notification sound during a meeting because it did turn things off properly. Another few days it works fine, then I miss evening calls because it didn't turn my ringer back on. If I have to CHECK to see if app adjusted properly, then it defeats the purpose!
Bombroof. Uses next to no resources, never used to go wrong although the latest version does, sometimes. Has been one of the finest apps on Google Play and probably the very most essential user-installed app on my Android devices. Dislike aesthetic changes to the user interface in latest version. A simple widget to perform a "check now" would be invaluable.
I've been using this for years without a hitch until now. Used it on my old phones and it was one of the first apps installed on my Note 4. Set it up and forget it- just always worked flawlessly. The brightness control isn't fine enough to set the correct level after MM update. Yet another DEAD app in the Play Store with no support or development. Their website isn't even up any more. Just sell or donate the app to someone who will actually develop and support it!
I emailed from the app to them twice on this, and have not had a response. On my old phone it was a five star. On my note 4 it brings up the volume but not the notification volume. It says that on this version of Android it cannot split them independently. That's fine, however, I end up with my volume up and my notification volume not brought up!
App worked flawlessly a few years ago, but now in order for the app to work without a hitch, I shouldn't change the controls manually such as volume or else the app won't do its job.
I had an S5 and it worked flawlessly. Since upgrading to an S6 and now S7, it sometimes works and yet maybe it won't. Bottom line...I can no longer trust it to turn ringer off automatically and still have to check manually. I thought the new smart manager might be disabing the app, so turned it off for the app and then off altogether (for all apps), to no avail. It's unfortunate because this app used to be perfect.
I think once I finally get Lollipop I won't need to use this app any longer, but it has served it's purpose well (especially to avoid being woken up by friends who forget about time zone differences).
I've been using and loving this app for years on several different phones. Last update was about 2 years ago now, and as of Android marshmallow (6.0.1), the app doesn't seem to work reliably anymore. And it's not like it just plain stopped working, it seems to randomly turn my WiFi, Bluetooth, vibrate, and ringer on or off whenever it pleases. I'll happily bump this back to 5 stars if the devs ever update it again.
Unfortunately, not reliable on marshmallow with the nexus 5x. Events are lost and even check now doesn't work sometimes. Please fix! Thanks. Found out how to donate, will do so soon.
I've always been a fan of this app, but after being woke up 3 times in the middle of the night with emails notification (despite being configured to not do that), i simply switched yo another app.
UPDATE 6/18/16 stopped working on note 4 after update to android 5.1.1 ************** ****** * ********If I could give this more than 5 stars I would. This app is amazing. Have been a user for at least 3 years.
I loved this app until it's been abandoned. No longer works with latest os. Won't schedule actions unless go into app making this useless.
Love the app and worked awesome on my other devices. However, with my new Samsung S6, it does not control the ring volume or vibrate on ring anymore. I'm assuming this is a problem with this version of android but it would be great to have that functionality back.

Recently used Timeriffic to fix an issue on my old android tv box (PixePlay Kuro TV). My TV, android box, Fiber ONT and router are usually switched off or on at the same time. The android box does not have an internal battery to keep the clock current, so it has to get the time from the network. Trouble is, the ONT and router takes about 1min 40 secs to connect to the internet and android box connected by Ethernet does not attempt to refresh the request for automatic time from the network. It will always start its time at 8am, year 2000. Used Timeriffic to set a task to switch on the wifi at 8.02am and 8.03am then switch off wifi on 8.04am and 8.05am. When its wifi is switched on, the ethernet will be disconnected. The toggle between wired and wireless network mode triggers a time request and updates the date and time. Hope this workaround continues to work. Cold started the ONT, router and android tv box. Verified working.
But not for me. It does not seem to have a profile to on off data. For me this is paramount. Sorry boss I have to uninstall your otherwise good application
Very very excellent tool to manage device. The highlight features are the airplane and wifi mode that works exactly as time schedule. Congrats team. I've a request and if you could do this, you are ultimate. The timeriffic works with time, how if it works with geo location. If I reach my office, home, etc., please let me know your thoughts. Does this application supports the latest version of android (Marshmallow)?
Been using this app since the droid x. Androids priority features pretty much make this app obsolete but I still use it to control Bluetooth timing.
Except for the annoying beep when sound comes back on.
My LG G3 decided it was a good idea to wake me up in the middle of the night to tell me to unplug it as it was fully charged- couldn't turn this feature off.. But this app worked.. Thanks.
It's the best, simplest, easiest to use 'control phone settings by time' app out there. Great when you have to worry about sound levels before and after work or any other time of day when you want to mute/unmute, but don't want to think about it. Hasn't updated in over a year? Doesn't matter to me! I have had the same settings for a couple years and it's never let me down across phones/ROMs/whatever. Solid app for what it does!
But just stopped which doesn't go over well when the phone rings at the worst time ever cause you thought it was on silent! :/
On Samsung devices with 5.1.1 OS (note 4 and core prime) there is a delay on activating the scheduled action (2-5 minutes). Please correct this bug because is a very simple and useful application.
Worked like a dream on HTC m8. Changed to galaxy s6 and the app has no effect.
it's an awesome, very powerful app that allows very detailed and personalised automated control of most of the features on the phone. used it on various phones and Android versions without any issues. One thing to note is I had to either go to a ROM or use specific apps (depending on which phone I used) to allow seperate volume for notification and phone rings, but that's not timeriffic's fault. I do wish control over LED notification was included though.
Couldnt understand a shit in that app. Update: the developer want me to open an error about it.. it just proves my point

This has worked flawlessly for me since 2010 and still does on my old Gingerbread phone, unfortunately not so on Nougat (Android 7). Occasionally it just stops working, or seems to only change some of the settings, which is a great shame, as this unreliability makes it virtually useless now. Let's hope there's an update soon!
