There is no alternative. No other app comes close to the power and functionality of Tasker.

This is the one piece of software that I install on all my Android devices and the first thing I install after a factory reset. On it's own it's amazing, add some 3rd party tools and plugins and it gets even better.
Cannot recommend this enough.
I use it to manage my Wifi, sound levels, bluetooth connections and now thanks to a plugin, it will open Spotify, go to my playlist and shuffle-play it for me!

I couldn't get Tasker to work on my phone and it is $9.9. Way too expensive for something that doesn't work.

I tried this app for a week and it slowed down my Nexus like crazy! It forced my Nexus to shut down a couple of times within that week too.

I switched to Smart Volume Control+

I agree with you! I had the same sucky experience you did. Thanks for mentioned Smart Volume Control though. I just signed up with them after you mentioned them.
