If I go into this seedy neighbourhood, text my wife that I love her etc etc.

That's interesting...

Tasker is a nice app that lets you set simple "If this, then do that" type of rules for your phone to follow. An alternative is IFTTT. I use it to do stuff like; If I plug in earphones, then open Spotify.

Duolingo for learning the conversational basics and more of new languages in a simple game-type way.

CamScanner - To "scan" papers into PDFs.

I couldn't find it in ifttt?

Oh the IFTTT sounds like an interesting all..

There's an app called MagicPlan, where you can use the camera on your phone to mark the corners and doorways of a room, and it puts it in an floor plan for you.

oh, that sounds really cool. But I don't know how often I would use that app...

**Hessah** · 06-18-2015, 02:11 AM

When you move, or looking for new places, it'll give you a sq meter of the place. We used it when we need to find out how much office space we've got. keke

but yeah I've only used it once so far xD

**Lirange** · 06-18-2015, 03:02 AM

Ooh yeah that sounds like it'd be very useful when moving to a new place. Just gotta remember to use it when that time comes lool

Sorry I dun use IFTTT much (at all really)... I only heard that it was a like a lite alternative to Tasker.

Or did you mean you couldn't find the app at all?

I couldn't find the recipe or create it. So is Tasker more advanced? Can it do things like increase brightness when I open up YouTube?

**Vasu** · 06-18-2015, 02:46 PM

Yup! You can set up a profile that increases brightness when a list of apps are opened. I use it for a couple of my games actually. Here's the guide I used to do that for myself:
