Hi every one!!I have been using this app called tasker which i have found(after many pains and struggling) is the best app you will ever get which enables you to extract the best out of your phone!! I manage to save lot of battery automatically with the help of this app!!

I haven't been able to be a ninja of tasker and i have also found out that many users find it difficult to understand how tasker works given the complexity of the ui!!

So i have decided to share a few tips that will get you started in using this great app

So basically tasker is an app that tells our android that if we do something or something happens or u enter some location etc (context) the system should perform something!!(task)

In simple words i will define tasker which performs something (tasks) when we do something (contexts)
