About Profile

Profile lets you manipulate your phone's volumes & settings all in one convenient place. You can also schedule profile changes, so your phone responds the way you want when you want it to. Profile also gives you the option to display a notification with the current profile, which provides quick access to be able to change any of your settings. Another quick way to change the active profile is through the use of the multiple widget options that Profile contains.

One of the newer options allows you to set up both an SMS Auto-Reply and a Call Auto-Reply within your profile. You can choose whether you Auto-Reply to just people listed in your contacts, or to anyone, and you get to set your Auto-Reply message too.

Widgets available and their options:
- Profile (types: Single Tap, Set For ... Time, Set Indefinitely)
- Profile Multi (Displays list of profiles, you select)
- Profile Current (Displays current sounds/settings)

With the Profile Whitelist Addon (Separate Purchase) you can create profiles where you will only hear calls and texts from the people you really want to.

You can specify any of these settings within your profiles:
- SMS Auto-Reply and Call Auto-Reply
- Default Phone Ringtone
- Default Notification Ringtone
- Ringer Volume & Vibrate
- SMS/MMS Volume & Vibrate
- Notification Volume & Vibrate
- Music Volume
- Alarm Volume
- In Call Volume

Works great! A nice option would be to be able to change profiles by location. i.e. work, home etc.

D70%

I love this app but since my Galaxy S7 doesn't have a menu button I can't access the settings. Can this be fixed?

M70%
by M####:

This used to be awesome but is glitchy every phone I change to.

Q70%
by Q####:

Sadly this app is unloved and un-updated. Good app, great ideas, but buggy (timed profiles don't always reset to scheduled profile) and the developer doesn't or cannot reply to feedback provided. Even the links to FAQs are broken.

No updates to solve for compatibility issues from upgrades to android 4.x

The dev is in the Army, he has not time...But I yet use this app from Cup Cake times! It's much less buggy on JB than on ICS, I can confirm, at least on Samy Note & Note2. This app is oldie but brilliant, its scheduler is model of rationality.

Does not automatically turn on profiles even when i enable the time rules. Someone please help!!! Galaxy S4

Works great on Note 2. A must have app!

Q70%
by Q####:

Empowering .... I rate very, very few apps with 5 stars, but this gives just exactly the kind of control I was looking for from an Android. It took some time to look through all of its capabilities and figure out how to make them work for my needs, but now that I got it customized to my liking, it's my favorite app. *tip* you'll probably want to turn on track locking.

by Q####:

Quite customisable. Reliable on my Galaxy Nexus. Generally clear and clean to use. I set it up once, and never have to change settings again. Just the way I like it!

One of the best apps on the market.

One of my fav apps of all time, for work, home, nighttime!

Now the vibrate profile makes phone go to silent. Useless.

its about time, your getting it together. This app is VITAL, if you dont see that then... Things are about to change...

Not compatible with JB, can't control vibrate mode anymore.

Q70%
by Q####:

I paid for this app forever ago, and it has followed me along to my third Android device. I've never been impressed by its looks, but that is OK - it ALWAYS works. It always activates my various profiles at the proper times. I don't have to think about whether I am at home, work, church, in bed... once I set up profiles for each scenario, I've never had to think about it again.

by Q####:

Coming from the blackberry world I've been looking for a way to manage my email and text message notifications separately. A few apps said they did it, but they didn't. This app does! I can in the evenings have my emails set to silent and yet still receive emergency text messages. Thank you!

M70%
by M####:

Dev responds quickly, and if this app doesn't do it(separate sms and mms tones), it may not be possible due to OS limitations. First app I recommend.

Q70%
by Q####:

Has no way to set differrent sms and email notification sounds. Add these features and I will give 5 stars...

M70%
by M####:

I wanted to be able to send sms autoreply when I am busy or napping, yet allow the party to call me if it's urgent. I wanted to silence the sms notification but not my ringer. None of the other programs I tried could do this. They could only silence everything or nothing. This one can separate the notifications.Now I can I set the sms autoreply to let people know I am napping or busy and to call me if it's urgent. I have not tested out the timed profiles since I have no use for them at this time.

Need a way to customize vibration (pattern, length, etc). Then would be a complete app.

Timed rules arr unreliable and crash. Htc desire 2.2 used to work ok. Please fix

Good app, but can't see which profile is active in notification bar (black icon on black background on Droid incredible)

Uninstalled...Used to not live w/o this app had for years. Had 2b on call for few hrs while I sleep-set it to go to silent when off call. galaxy s4. says file for restore doesn't exist when switched phones, website gone, still plenty of bugs and crazy behavior, developer doesn't respond, uninstalled. worried I wouldn't find anything close but LOVE Sound Profile by Corcanoe, way more options than than this EVER had

M70%
by M####:

This app has done more to make every android phone I've owned work for me (rather than vice versa) than any other. I go out to the car in the morning --phone is already set up to stream audio to the car stereo via bluetooth. I get to work: phone silences(never been embarrassed by my phone at work!) itself, disables bluetooth and turns on wifi. And no other program I've bought has done more to update itself with meaningful and powerful feature updates. Favorite and best android app hands down.

M70%
by M####:

With every update the program works less. program has gotten so bad it will no longer run on Android 4.0 or above

W70%
by W####:

I love this app however my phone just recently updated to Ice Cream Sandwich and now my phone volume no longer syncs with the app. I used to only run this app, but now my "work" profile, which was a vibrate type profile, makes my phone's profile go to silent. Need help but haven't got a response from the developer

M70%
by M####:

This is easily the most important and useful app on my phone. Works flawlessly too. I use it at various times of the day to control wifi and Bluetooth, at work trio go on vibrate and at night to silence everything and save battery.

I have been using this app on my HTC Vivid with ICS and after some playing with it, I have been able to get it working very well! I have read some reviews here saying the Notification Tones are not working, I had a problem with mine until I deleted all Sound Sets except for the Default one that is set within the phone's Android, ICS operating system. The other thing is that the Volume Control Buttons are a bit confusing as to what they actually control (two individual buttons can control the same three sliders depending on how it reads with each tap;i.e. You can have the SMS notification tone volume controlled by the Ringtone Slider or by the Notification slider). I believe they do that in order to separate the Ringtone Control from the Notification Control so that they can have different volumes set. I would rate this app with 5 Stars even with its confusing settings methods if it were not for the fact that the developer is no longer supporting this application due to his Military obligations and busy life. It is still a GREAT app though and I recommend it highly!

M70%
by M####:

Like others who just switched from BB to Android, I missed having an easy way to change profiles for ringers, etc. Profile lets me do that and then some. Its ability to toggle BT and WiFi, and to change profiles per docking state is powerful and useful. But it is fragile and crashes often on my SGH-T989 with 2.3.5. Luckily, it tends to first do what I asked, then crash. The widget is less crash-prone than the main app. Now that I know about PhoneWeaver, Llama, and Tasker, I still think Profile gives decent value.

Best profile app on the market. I wish there was an option to assign different ringtones to email and Facebook notifications. Former BB user.

Great app. Airplane mode switch broken on either Android 2.3.6 or RAZR MAXX and app is no longer being maintained.

M70%
by M####:

I loved this app! I have a tendency to bump the volume buttons when hold the phone and there is a setting within this app where it will revert back to the profile if you do that. So far, no other profile app I have found does this. Unfortunately, this does not seem to work well with JB.

This program has "just worked" for years on my phones. I never worry about it, unless I want to change or add to a profile. Wishlist: action based on GPS location.

Worked great with ICS Silent mode does not work with jelly bean

Can't change 3G, vibration and really old interface, was OK years ago but not now, app newer was updated : (
