Congrats on their big launch! This is very exciting for their Android users! I'm not going to lie, as an iOS user I'm quite jealous. Ha This gives Android users quite a bit more tiggers available for them that iOS users can't do. The iOS app can only do basic things like calendar, contacts, and photos. Things such as "sending a text as yourself", changing settings on your phone, etc. are awesome features they added for Android that I wish iOS also offered. But I do understand the nature of iOS being more locked down than Android.<p>Sort of off topic, but I wonder if IFTTT will ever start charging for their services. I'm a huge fan of what they do, and it surprises me that they have stayed free for this long. Similar services (more directed towards tech) like Zapier [1] have very fair pricing plans, but their free plan is so-so. I would be more than willing to pay for the awesome work that IFTTT is doing with their platform. Just wonder if they will ever introduce pricing plans into their service or not.<p>[1] <a href="https://zapier.com/" rel="nofollow">https://zapier.com/</a>
It's available now. Am I missing something or is there no login button? I only get an option to register.<p>Edit: Installed it on another device and the app only says "Hello world!". Seems like the Play Store distributes different versions for smartphones and tablets.<p>Edit 2: The login button is cut off on my phone because they failed to put the login/register screen into a ScrollView.<p>Edit 3: Also the positioning of the loading indicator is weird: <a href="http://imgur.com/jp6wtIA" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/jp6wtIA</a>
Android stuff really starts to shine when you hit the "deep" system modifications, and makes me glad I'm not iOS.<p>Things we get in android that iOS users :<p>- Pushbullet<p>- Cover<p>- Fullfeatured chat heads in Facebook messanger(overlaid on any app)<p>- This
Congrats to IFTTT and Jordan Beck for shipping this product. I'm seeing more and more apps on iOS which are ported to Android only to be met by an incumbent app that is on par or superior to the iOS offering. I love IFTTT but the iOS restrictions make it difficult to enable the types of recipes I really want to create.
These new generation of applications with deeper integration on Android have become my favorite feature of Android. Facebook's chat head, LastPass's Fill into the Apps, etc. completely changes how you use your smart devices.
They might want to check the Google Play Store, because all the links show nothing: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ifttt.ifttt" rel="nofollow">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ifttt.iftt...</a>
This is a bit of a tangent, but does anyone know a reliable way to download and install Android APKs from the Play store for a device that does not have Google Play itself installed (and intentionally does not have a Google account associated with it)?
I just installed it on my iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4. Already had an account, I knew what was all the fuss about and I went my way and create a new receipe using my device delicious new "this" or "then" !<p>So it goes : "if any new photo taken with front camera then add file from URL to marcelftw's Dropbox".<p>I took several photos, but the receipe has never been triggered :( I'm a bit confused. So I went and edit the dropbox actions. So it saves photos in "selfies" with file name has "selfie-{{TakenDate}}". And the "Check Now" says everything is alright.
Hm, I installed it on my Android and now my recipes in the web interface are gone. I have logged in from different browser to their web and got "something is not working" error.
Any plans for download integration? I'd love to see ifttt rules like "when I add a YouTube video to Watch Later, download it to my device next time I'm on Wifi".
Looks like a rough launch. When I should have gotten a message that my registration was ok I got a timeout.<p>Not sure if the app was supposed to ask me more questions after an OK registration, when I tried to re-register and got "this username is taken", I tried to login and that worked. Found myself subscribed to a bunch of semi-random channels.<p>While exploring tasks, I started getting more timeouts.
Will IFTTT have traffic triggers in the future? I've been wanting a way to get traffic alerts before leaving work for years. I've found a few places that offer it, but nothing has been reliable.<p>In a perfect world I'd tie traffic conditions to when my alarm clock wakes me up!
This looks promising. I've got several IFTTT recipes in mind that I'd like to try out when they support my phone.<p>Unfortunately my Facebook related recipes never go quite so well, but I think that's Facebook's fault really.
I absolutely love the slideshow introduction leading to a login. It's like a feature funnel I suppose versus a sales funnel, pre-selling me to take the time to create credentials. Kudos +1
Can't even login to the main site now, must be getting hammered.<p>Any IFTTT recipes for sending a text when you're within a certain radius of a target? That'd be nice.
Wow, and just this week, I installed Pushbullet to handle getting notifications from IFTTT to my Android phone. Oh well, I will continue to use Pushbullet, and this is still good news.
Getting not found on the link as well. Not that it would be worth anything anyway. Android has long had apps for this such as Locale (around since the very early Android Developer Challenges) and Tasker. They must know someone at TechCrunch to get such a favorable write up for a clone.
