I have been craving having Podtrapper automatically download podcasts after my device automatically reboots at 5:00 AM every morning. It appears as an option within Podtrapper but apparently isn't yet functional. This app could automatically run Podtrapper and then download all new podcasts every morning. However, I would like some more user feedback before shelling out the 6 bones.

A free trial period would be nice, too. I might bite, though. It's not like DocsToGo expensive or anything.

Word of caution. This app has no data persistence. If you exit the application or have to reboot your phone, all scheduled events are gone. This seems like a glaring oversight for a $10 app (or even the $6 sale price). For the app to be truly useful to most power users, the schedules have to survive a reset. Additionally, an option to start the app on boot up (with the saved scheduled items still intact) would make it much better and quite worthwhile. As it stands right now, not a wise investment in my opinion. I'm off to Mobihand to ask for a refund...

This app should be able to startup as soon as the BB boots up and save all of the items you've scheduled. That's a big let down for this app.

if this app started on bootup, it should have a setting where you can have it start other apps on startup. for instance when I restart my BB, I automatically launch AP News and Viigo even if I don't intend to read anything at that point. it's just so that when I do get ready, it's already got the latest articles waiting on me instead of waiting a few minutes for them to all update.

It says the next update will add the persistence on the next update...although I agree as well.. will wait for the update before considering purchase.

They also have mail/call blocker coming soon as well that looks interesting..

I updated BB:Robot scheduler v1.1 and the persistence works !
So now this application is really useful !

Can it change profile based on time?

The developer should also make sure that you don't lose all your information when you upgrade to a new operating system. I use the smsScheduler and I lost all my information when I recently upgraded to the new operating system and they said there wasn't a fix. Just a thought...!

I wasted a large amount of time setting up various events before I realized they were not saved on a system reboot. The concept is a good one, the capabilities are pretty nice, but unless I can save my scheduled events it is kind of worthless for anything but a one time scheduled event in the very near future.

A trial would have been nice to figure this out ahead of time. In my opinion as it is right now this should have been a beta release. Saving your events would seem to be a priority requirement.
