please position your phone vertically for videos. i would rather not tilt my head 45 degrees to the left to see what you are doing.

I just created a video (length 2.3 min) in this video you can change wallpaper every time you unlock your device. With Tasker (you can use motivational wallpaper to get motivated each time you unlock your device) hope you like it.

11 years and still a very good beginner tutorial! Also nostalgic to see the UI we had in that time and made me think how far we came in this game❤️

I tried to set a time so my phone goes into silent mode but it gives me option to vibration not "on" like in the video

If I hear the word "task" one more time....

I knew that I was making a basic, ridiculous error and couldn't figure out what it was. Thanks to your video, I realised that I needed to delete my existing profile and make a new one based on time parameters. Simple, clear, effective. Thanks dude.

Honestly speaking, this app requires a book or at least How-To guide of what this magical app can offer...

Hello. Can Tasker makes the android phone to send a SMS when the owner trigger it by saying a magic expression, even the phone is locked?

[sahajmohit]

Talk very few how to use for beginners... Mostly talk about what you did.

This currently holds the Guinness world record for "most repeated word in a youtube video" (task) congrats. Also if you speed up the video to 2x you can hear a nice rap song.

Good video for its time, but, at 7 years old, should probably be removed.

I Own and use Tasker (and many add-ons). This Video is Excellent for starters, I've used Tasker for four years and could not have nailed it as well as you did 5stars for a good job. Every time I try, I end up in stuck in a "nook of cranny" of Tasker, and that alone takes a days time to explore, Each. With a Rooted Device and Tasker-Add-Ons, like voice aloud commands, you can Do Anything, and I do Mean ANYTHING. Tasker, Lightning Launcher, MX-Player Pro(+codecs), ES File Explorer Pro, Busybox, and Neutron music player.

Can you make a video tutorial for Application Sir?. btw Thankyou for this Helpful Video for like me as a Beginner for this kind of Apps😊

Why do you keep the phone in your hand and not in vertical position? For a so called "guide" this is so wrong - we don't need it to be cool, but to the point and easy to follow. Place your phone on the table, keep it steady with one hand, and touch the screen with the other hand, all these while your camera is vertical to the phone. How hard can it be?. Imagine a teacher at school doing something similar or speaking while there is loud music in the background [like some youtubers do it thinking they are so cool], how many students will learn anything? I hope people, one day, will realise the difference between cool and tutorials - those are NOT the same thing.

You guys make some of the best reviews and videos that I have seen. Great Job! I will try Tasker, you have convinced me.

Nice video. I am trying to figure out how to usa a NFC Tag to make my phone run an action. I got it to work but everytime I scan the tag the phone ask me which app to read the NFC tag? I can't figure out how to set as the default app to read and run the action. I'm using Tasker as the APP that I want to run the trigger and action.
Can you help. What am I doing wrong
