AMAZING AUTOMATION APPS

Oneofthe biggest

names in

automation apps, IFTTT

is also one of the easiest

to use. Best suited to

online services, add two

of them together to form

‘recipes,’ such as

Instagram and Dropbox

to instantly back up

your photos.

1 IFTTT

» Price: Free

Dessin offers a

highly visual way

of automating your

Android device. It

enables you to make

notes, draw mind-maps

and even build circuits

out of nodes

representing your

handset’s features and

system activities.

» Price: £2.99/$2.

If you’re familiar

with IFTTT, you

might also like Atooma.

This free download

offers greater control of

system activities, such

as Bluetooth and GPS.

It lacks the depth of

Tasker, but employs a

user-friendly colour-

coding system.

Satsomewhere

between IFTTT

and Tasker, AutomateIt’s

interface is a little dull to

look at, but it is packed

with lots more features.

Navigation is intuitive,

with sliders making it

easy to jump between

the Trigger, Action and

Rule menus.

4 AutomateIt

» Price: Free + IAPs

Despite the cute

Droid icon, Condi

has a workmanlike

interface. Previously

known as Mini Tasker,

Condi offers a level of

customisation on par

with AutomateIt, but

with the added benefi t

of having absolutely no

in-app purchases.

5 Condi

» Price: Free

Tasker offers an

incredible level

of control and

customisation. The

downside is it’s difficult

to master, requiring you

to set up different

profiles for each

automation, before

adjusting a subset of

complex variables.
