If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Does it work? I actually once tried to put something like this together, I stopped at around 65%, I came to a roadblock (can't remember what it was ATM).

Why wouldn't it work? I've been using Tasker for this for years.

I would suggest them to add pre-set times as well.

As I said, I don't remember where my roadblock was, but I didn't have enough time to play with it at the time. Do they have locations for all Shuls or do you have to add it manually (and if you add it, is it added to their database or is it just locally for you)?

Notepad Reminder

The most convenient app for me. I find it to be much more basic and useful than all the other fancy ones.

And Black Screen of Life Not available on Google play due to violating terms of use or something. I use it for when I don't have a YouTube red trial, for listening to YouTube videos with screen off (although I can use firefox browser, I just like the app better).

As far as I know all screen recorder apps on Android don't allow for system sound to be recorded. Although you can let the sound play out loud and record it from the microphone.

Anyways I use lollipop screen recorder and I'm happy with it.

And speaking of Call Recording - my Nexus 5X would sometimes freeze/lag and I took this screenshot - does it have a hidden call recording? (Didn't use this app at that time)
