Tasker gets a new Holo UI and a price drop

Tasker still offers all of the power-user options you may be looking for, but it now has a lot more to help new users get a handle on what the app can do. So, it's much easier to set up profiles, and automate tasks like toggling sounds based on location, or turning off services based on battery life. The automation can be as simple or as complex as you want. There is a new guide, toggles are easier to find, there are new pre-built actions and states designed for newer devices, and pre-made events and actions that make customization a little easier. It's really a great update. 

And, the decision to purchase the app has been made a lot easier as well, because the price has been dropped from $6.99 to just $1.99. Crafty Apps has said that the new price is on a conditional basis right now, and if development costs aren't covered by the sales, the price could go back up. So, if you've ever been curious, now may be the best time to try out Tasker. 

Of course, if you want the nice new Holo UI, you will need to be using an Android 4.0+ device, and just head over to the Google Play Store to grab the app.
