About SMARTACTIONS™

Whether you want to extend your battery life or get help staying focused on the road when you’re behind the wheel, SMARTACTIONS can help. With this unique app, you can mastermind your phone settings, so your smartphone is optimized for your life. The app is also intuitive. SMARTACTIONS will offer up suggestions for different settings changes based on how you use your phone.


*Extend your battery life*
The SMARTATCTIONS app has different battery saving rules that keep you in charge of your charge. The Battery Extender rule, for example, recognizes when your phone is sitting idle and conserves power. Don’t worry—calls and texts always come through. And, the Low Battery Saver rule will pay attention to how much charge your battery has, and change settings to conserve what’s left.

*Location, location, location*
SMARTACTIONS can make changes based on where you are. When certain Wi-Fi connections are recognized, SMARTACTIONS can make changes based on that location. For example, arriving at your office could prompt putting your ringer on silent and pulling up that productivity app that really gets things done.

*Completely custom*
It’s your phone; customize it to fit your life. Do you like your display turned down and your ringer turned up when you get home? SMARTACTIONS can remember that and do it for you. Or, maybe you like to see maps and GPS when you step into your car. Yep, SMARTACTIONS can help there too.

*Intuitive*
SMARTACTIONS is intuitive. As you go about your day, it learns how you interact with your phone and makes suggestions that help you spend less time managing your smartphone and more time enjoying it.

*You’re in control*
This app will offer to help you and make suggestions for rules—but it will never make changes until you say so.

by C####:

Works well, except that it doesn't handle profile conflicts well. Needs triggers based on other profiles (Profile x is NOT active) , and for negative states (i.e. NOT connected). Should also be able to adjust ringer and notification volumes separately.

Clearly needs the kinks ironing out. But i bought my razr i because of the and the battery. Home rule keeps not working correctly, as others point out the volume wont reset when not at home so i miss calls. When moto get this right, i cant own a different phone. Gone are phones for your life. They want you to have their lifestyle x

Still doesn't work for my RAZR Maxx after the update 2/2/13: app still doesn't work. Any time I try to change anything in the actions it crashes. This app would be so helpful if it worked 4/14/13: app still hasn't fixed the force closing issue after making any edits. Frustrating that I can't use this app

Just doesn't work anymore. Look likes it should, all triggers are set, icon says ready but never starts. Only battery saver shows up in notification bar. All other settings doesn't. Used to be a 5 rating, now barely a 2 Please fix.

Z70%
by Z####:

I loved the idea of my phone turning volume down itself when I was at work and then turn back up at home. And although it sometimes changes the volume lower at work, it doesn't ever change it back to loud when I get home. And it NEVER changes the notification sounds, just the phone ringer. Doesn't help when I mostly get texts not phone calls.

K70%
by K####:

The app use to run so smoothly, but since the update all it does is suck. I hate that you can't turn off the actions by touching the icon anymore. The actions lag so much that I could manually change the settings faster. It also causes my brightness to go from auto to low brightness every time an action turns off, even if the action doesn't alter my current brightness setting. So thank you to the genius who made this once useful app as relevant and productive as an episode of the Kardashians

L70%
by L####:

I can't seem to find a way to set a trigger based on leaving an area. I have a home setting, but when i leave home it doesn't change until i get to another location that i have set a trigger for. This means that my phone has the wireless turned on, but not the 4g data when i leave my house. I have to manually turn them on and off. Llama was able to make rules based on leaving a place. Am i missing something?

X70%
by X####:

App worked great at first - automatically switched to vibrate at work, then back to normal once I was about a block or two away. Now it seems to think I'm at work all the time and I'm forced to manually switch actions on and off. I also noticed battery life going down significantly, and finally just completely turned off all smart actions. I think I can deal with manually turning on vibrate and disabling wifi for the doubled battery life...

W70%
by W####:

I like the versatile options being able to customize your battery power settings and phone functions to best fit you. Thus app makes your phone completely customisable to do specific functions at specific times. My only complaint is that the battery saver action kills completely everything when you select the highest kill setting. My 3G signal won't even work. With this minor fix, this app gets 5 starts

X70%
by X####:

For those who haven't updated to this new version, 2.2.2.4, DON'T! 2.2.2.3 is the best version. This new one doesn't start actions automatically anymore, location doesn't work on network now (must use GPS or wifi to locate you), you have to go into the action to turn it on now and sometimes after a new suggestion, after you activate it, the suggestion will continue to show up after you delete and set it up again. If you updated, uninstall the updates and keep 2.2.2.3 if you can! Made it essentially useless.

Love This App...It saves around 35% of the Battery, sometimes More !! I have Chosen a Setting that makes it possible for 2G/3G/Wifi ( Any or all these Three) to be "Tuned Off" after The Mobile has been untouched for 4-5 mins. That way...You shall get all messages/whatsapps/ mails whenever you Turn on the Display/ or have answered a call (in short, used a phone, moved the phone) It comes Bundled with MotoRazr Androids..But works on mostly all ANDROIDS.

This app used to be so great. Now, every time I try to create a new rule and set a location trigger, it says it can't find the address. I've tried multiple locations, turned on all GPS services, and even manually entering the current location to no avail. The past ones work great still but I can't create any new ones. What happened? Please help and I will give it 5. It's so helpful when I go to a movie theater or doctor appointment.

Z70%
by Z####:

Originally a 5-star app; now rendered unusable. Cannot create new or edit existing actions. Initially loved this app, particularly the option to compose the auto-response texts, but quickly started to force stop whenever I tried to do more than turn an action on or off. Tried power cycling, resetting app preferences, clearing cache. Smart Actions now needs initial setup repeated. The setup is easy enough but the app force stops before completion, doesn't save changes. Please fix this once-amazing app!

N70%
by N####:

i really love this app and find is very useful. however, it doesn't work exactly as its supposed to. i have a profile for night, that silences my ringer and auto replys to calls and texts, letting everyone know that i'm asleep. but i've noticed that it doesn't reply to any of the calls or texts i get. this app is great motorola! please dont abandon it!

I recently did an upgrade to a Motorola Droid Maxx, from my Droid Razr. I was accustomed to using Smartactions every day. . With Smartactions I had more options than with Assist. For work - it turned my ringer down, turned on wi fi, and replied to texts I was at work. For gym - It turned on music player and opened JEFit app. For church - the set up was like what I had for work. I had a different set up for when I got home also. This app made life a lil easier. I miss it.

I am having problems with this app. I have it set up so the phone goes on silent (and it does great) except when important people call.. it issue is when the important people call the phone stays on silent (still rings great, but it doesn't ring loud like its supposed to) scratch wireless Motorola proton Q

Z70%
by Z####:

My DROID RAZR MAXX has ICS on it and Smartactions works great. At a loss for words as to why it doesn't work for some. This is a 5-star app with a ton of great uses for home, work, church, driving, etc. My advice is ignore the low ratings and try it. Give yourself time to figure it out. You will love it.

Z70%
by Z####:

I used to use "Foxy Ring". Smart Actions works great for changing my ringer mode automatically, but it DOES NOT have the ability to adjust the volume of my ring tone based on the ambient noise around my phone. Foxy Ring calibrates the appropriate volume for your ringer by listening to your mic every so often (interval is configurable).

Z70%
by Z####:

It works fine. But options are limited. Should have the option to prioritize smart actions to override other smart actions if needed. Or allow a smart action to trigger other smart actions. Its even more limiting relying on wifi and GPS for location. I've noticed that if I have the location option enabled. It won't trigger on gps alone. I manually have to turn wifi on and then it finally triggers my smart action.. Two stars. I think the app is a great idea. But it needs refinement.

I love how people are threatening to switch to an iPhone. Two things. 1. The developers don't care. 2. If you can't figure out how to get this working again, you need an iPhone. Download and install the update. Go to Settings>Apps>Smart Actions>Clear Data. Set up everything from scratch. Reboot phone. Works flawlessly and better than before.

Z70%
by Z####:

This app sounds great, but in reality, it destroys the performance of the phone. It brings the phone to a crawl. I am able to use my phone again by disabling the app and the two related Frameworks. I wish I can remove it completely. One of the frameworks keeps starting up again, even though it is disabled, and when it does, my phone becomes unusable until I force stop it again.

O70%
by O####:

Goods based settings, like for work and home constantly turn on and off throughout the day. While sorting at work wifi will turn off and back on, killing any current download our streaming. Sometimes wifi just turns off until I manually change it. So GPS based triggers need work. The car dock based triggers work just fine and it's nice to set auto replies to texts and control Bluetooth.

Z70%
by Z####:

the main reason I wanted to get this phone was as advertised because of the smart actions. Eg if I'm at work I should be able to use my location and save this as a smart action. Every time and time again, it just crashes. It continually says smart actions has stopped and just crashes. Fix this!! Why advertise if this does not work?

J70%
by J####:

This app used to be a 4.5 out of 5 for me, however, after the latest update, you're better off not using it. It crashes every time I try to change a sleep mode setting. Since I work a rotating 12 hour shift, being able to change the settings, especially in sleep mode, is important!

Z70%
by Z####:

Are they even reading all these comments about this broken app. Its been broken since jelly bean so there's no excuse. This is awful since I have a lot of actions set up. If it's not fixed very quickly will have to find another solution. Damnit, I liked SA. :-(

S70%
by S####:

Volume return issues like all the RAZR maxx HD users. Would be great to see a greater variety of triggers (open an app, specifically) and actions (such as lock screen on - particularly when navigating long distances and charging/docked).

Z70%
by Z####:

I really wanted to love this program, and for a while I did. Then an update messed everything up. I can't use text message features, I can't use phone state of no motion, and worst whenever I leave home the phone sticks on my home profile. This is especially a problem at work where my phone needs to be quiet. I have to reboot my phone every workday. I know location services on the phone itself are fine, they always properly detect. But this app just doesn't realize I'm not home. 2 updates, still broken :(

Z70%
by Z####:

This app worked great and was awesome before! But know ever since the last two updates it has sucked. The GPS doesn't work and my home action is always on. I can't trash the GPS location for home either now because it will not let me but i can trash all my other location. This app made life easier. Now it just drives me crazy. Please fix it!!!

X70%
by X####:

UPDATED Just got the phone two weeks ago and this was a stock app. I don't normally check out stock apps but this one opened on it's own with a notification that I had done something to trigger a smart action. Turned out to be one of the coolest apps I use! Set one for sleep and one for work. I always forget to put my phone on vibrate at work. No more. UPDATE: I had to have my phone replaced (same phone swap) and with my new one this app won't stay on for some reason. :(

Z70%
by Z####:

I have Photon Q. My settings are set by location, example- volume goes down whenever I am at work. But when I leave work, the volume does not go back up.. On occasion, although the notification show that smart settings are active, my volume is still up. I love the idea of volume down while sleeping and allowing certain people to ring loud... but it would be nice if that included Text for certain people. I love the Ap, just needs to fix bugs.

Z70%
by Z####:

This app worked perfectly until the recent update. Now it does nothing. Literally nothing. It opens and allows you to configure all your settings but it no longer responds to inputs from Gps or other triggers. You broke it Moto. Update: The app was updated again to fix issues on previous update. Problems still exist and app does not respond to triggers.

Z70%
by Z####:

My only complaint is that I don't like that for the default sleep action, you can't set it to just vibrate. I live in a house with a lot more people than most and relatively thin walls, so I would have to be conscious of the possibility of waking everyone else up.

L70%
by L####:

What you need to do.. unistall the updates.. yup that's right you'll use the stock smart actions it may work weirdly but hell at least it don't force close... BTW your welcome

C70%
by C####:

This App has remained one of my personal favorites by premise. Some of its implementation should have been fully refined by now though. I really wish the Navigation which used to be in this app still existed. Someone out there monitoring this thing ... Please pick it back up!

M70%
by M####:

The latest update causes the app to not trigger especially my Work settings. Wi-Fi doesn't enable. I have uninstalled back to the factory version. Would rate higher if you would actually improve this app. Adding triggers of NOT at location or if moving and reading SMS message, not just who sent it would be nice. But I'm not holding my breath.

Q70%
by Q####:

After a 'no ring' rules turns off, the normal volume goes back to silent... not good. It seemed to be working a few weeks ago. Did an update cause the problem? Otherwise it works great.

U70%
by U####:

Ever since the jellybean update, it doesn't seem to trigger correctly, e.g. screen calls during meeting mode. It also doesn't revert my original phone settings back to how they were prior to a trigger, e.g. Bluetooth doesn't turn off after driving mode, WiFi doesn't turn off during sleep mode, etc. This was probably the best stock app I have used prior to the recent update to 4.1.2. Everything worked flawlessly. I'm anxious to get that functionality back soon...

X70%
by X####:

Motorola has a widget to disable the notification light when I need to. This widget helps when I'm sleeping because the notification light is really bright. I really badly wish I could use the SMARTACTIONS app to schedule my notification light to turn off at night then back on in the morning. Unfortunately the widget doesn't allow you to do anything other than tap it once to turn them off, and again to turn them back on. Please either add an action to disable the notification light in this app, or allow the notification light widget to be run as an app, and when run it would toggle the notification light. Then I could use the action for running an app to accomplish the same thing.

U70%
by U####:

One thing would make the app better is to allow activities as triggers and actions. I have two app killers with button widgets on the desktop the buttons are app activities. It would be able to tell the phone to automatically activates them every 30 seconds. Would get a five of it allows this feature.

Very good, simple ui, only complaint: now on my RAZR maxx it its super slow loading.
