User reviews

App used to be great. Not anymore.

App used to be great for automating signing in to work on my phone as soon as I was near the building. Now the app crashes anytime you use it and the developer doesn’t answer emails.

Well so much for this once great app.

NOT WORKING ON iOS 26

I’ve used this for years and to scrape data from sites. It no longer works. It crashes as soon as you try to create / edit an automation.

It is not simple to use and comes with a steep learning curve, but it is easier than parsing html manually. I hope they update it to work with iOS 26.

Really nice app, but the support is not good. No new features and bugs.

Great idea! Poor implementation.

Users should be able to pick mobile or desktop before recording. Scrolling pages is a nag. The ui looks decent and does record actions. Being able to pass it scripts from shortcuts to run would be far more efficient since parameters can edited before being passed. In the age of ai this technology would be ground breaking making mobile device perform task using LLMs would be a breeze. I’m sure the Rabbit Ai learned a lot from this.

Ridiculous trial nag.

This app looks promising. Unfortunately, it is also immediately annoying. You can’t do anything for more than a minute without the app forcing a free 3-day trial. I’m happy to pay for it, if valuable but this is insidious. Some reviews indicate that it’s buggy so the trial is important. I’m a busy person and don’t know if I’ll have time to review it in the next 3 days. I have a few minutes here and there. Perhaps a full day to try before nagging and then a 3-day trial, on a per-day usage would be better. I am a developer and understand the need to be compensated, but this mechanism just chafes. My first interaction with the app is a nag. It’s unfortunate.

I hope to find a 3-day window when I can dedicate time to try it out. I also hope to update this review with wonderful statements of its usefulness. Until then I’m left soured.
