Is anyone using this app? I use it to save battery and data usage - well, that's the idea anyway. One thing I notice is it doesn't always work as advertised. When I leave home I turn off WiFi, but my gmail still gets collected, even when I set a trigger to disable sync-ing on WiFi disconnection.

The other thing that worries me a bit is my WiFi connection keeps dropping. I turn it on when I get home, but often when I check every now and then the WiFi is off - not disconnected from my AP, but actually switched off. I leave WiFi on when I go to bed and almost always it's off when I check it in the morning.

Has anyone else encountered this?

Not using the app sorry, so no help with regards to that.

With regards to what you are using the app for it sounds as if Tasker might suit your needs better?

That's bizarre...I did a search for "tasker" in the Market and it couldn't be found...
