Pro Profiles are activated based on a variety of parameters
Profiles can be activated based on a specific location, calendar event, battery status, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, screen, etc.
Pro Comes with 6 default profiles
The default profiles available are normal, sleep, outdoor, online, offline and driving. Profiles control notifications, display settings, wireless settings, general settings, and launching/closing application settings (just to name a few).
Pro Very configurable & Flexible
Pro Access to scripts
On{x} users have access to a whole database of specialized scripts that can be edited or used as they are.
Pro Program remotely
Instead of having to edit code directly from your phone, code is edited through Microsoft's onx.ms website.
Pro Detects speed and acts accordingly
This app tracks users by GPS and knows if they are sitting still, walking, running, or driving. This functionality can be used to trigger actions when a certain pace is achieved, such as "Play music when I start running."
The GPS integration can also be useful for triggering actions when a user leaves or arrives at a location. Popular recipes that use the GPS function are "Remind me to work out if I haven't been to the gym in 3 days" or "Text my boyfriend when I leave work".
Cons
Con Project seems to be dead
There are several forum posts on their website inquiring if the project is still being developed, and there do not appear to be any responses from developers. To add to this, the last update for this app was in February of 2014
Con Forced Facebook login
Although all the recipes can be seen and used without Facebook login, many users find Facebook integration unnecessary.
Con Bad for battery life
The GPS tracking is horrible for battery life, but other variables might make this con bearable.
Con Bare
While this app is incredibly useful, not much emphasis is put on making the UI pretty. This in no way effects the functionality of the app, but some users might find the basic interface unappealing.
