Show me an app that can manipulate a function of your phone, and I’ll show you how it’s already been done in Tasker.

The ease of use on Tasker is really limiting.
Having said that if tasker wins this I still won’t be surprised.

Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at 11:31 AMYeah, I will freely admit that tasker is not in the slightest bit user friendly. I had it installed for almost a year before I actually started writing any complex profiles, and wrapped my head around using/setting variables.
Having said that though, if you do have any experience with data management (programming, database management, or even advanced Excel use) – it does translate quite well across to Tasker.

I can imagine voting between apps that have the same, or similar functionality (maybe SoundHound and Shazam,) but when it comes down to completely different functions, it’s like comparing apples to oranges.
