For those who are still on the fence

TLDR:
+ Easy to learn
+ Can automate Webapp + Windows + Mac + iOS + Android !!!! (only U-xer can do it now I believe)
+ Will automate what you can't do in other RPA tools
+ Founder is very responsive & care about us
- U-xer run very slow compared to Robomotion
- Can't do advanced branching logic (for now -- hopefully this can be addressed soon)
- Still kind of awkward if you need to do a loop.
- You will need a dedicated machine for this, because it will take over your keyboard & mouse (but this shouldn't be a problem).

=================

Before I say anything, I would like to let you know that I also bought robomotion and cheatlayer previously. And I will compare them here so that you can see the differences.

In my opinion, U-xer is very good for 2 kind of people:

### For people who find it hard to learn automation. You bought other previous RPAs and was turned off because the learning curve is steep.

U-xer is for you because behind the scene U-xer works exactly like how you do. If you can see a button, U-xer can see that button as well. If you can see the field name on a form, U-xer can see that field name as well and find it for you.

So if you were turned off because other tools require you to learn Chrome Dev Tool, use XPath or CSS Selector... the U-xer will very much please you, because you don't have to do any of that. If you previously struggled using Robomotion, then U-xer will feels like a piece of cake for you. Don't miss this deal!

In a way I feel that U-xer is a fulfilled promise of Cheatlayer. Cheatlayer promised that you can build automation just by using natural language. Hmmm..... not quite. Cheatlayer is so broken, I watched a lot of their tutorials and spend a lot of time trying to make it work. Unfortunately, those time I invested were wasted. U-xer on the other hand, will provide the same capability. You can describe what you want to do, and it will generate automation from it. NOT perfect -- I must add. But this functionality will give you a head start, and you can tweak the steps afterward. If you bought cheatlayer previously, I think you will find u-xer pleasing to use.

### The 2nd kind of people... All you automation experts

You are fluent using JavaScript. Not bothered reading HTML code, using Chrome Dev Tools, XPath, and CSS Selector. Honestly... just like me... I know you love using Robomotion.

But I know there are certain cases where Robomotion can't do a good job. Here are a few things that I can't do in Robomotion (not exhaustive):
1. It's not possible for Robomotion to run on my real browser profile. It needs to open a new session and use a dedicated browser profile.

2. If you want to automate your desktop app, It's possible to use robomotion to do that, but i just find it lacking here. I was trying to click on an option that's hidden behind a drop down menu in Excel and robomotion can't do that.

3. If you want to automate something on Google / Microsoft... Good luck!
I have a use case where i need to go to Google Maps and click on some listings and make edits. Google products are piece of art.. Haha, take a look at their back end HTML code. They obfuscate everything! Making it nearly impossible to automate anything

-----------

These 3 use cases... all possible using U-xer.
So... if you already own robomotion (or other similar RPAs), U-xer would be a nice addition that will fill that gap in your automation right now. Going forward, I will use both Robomotion and U-xer side-by-side. These are different tools and you can't compare them. But they will complement each other. Go get it!

There are a lot of other RPA tools in Appsumo that came out after Robomotion. And I always asked myself "can this tool do a better job than Robomotion?" The answer has always been "No". But for U-xer... under certain cases I mentioned above, yes... U-xer will do what's impossible in robomotion.

Thanks Zek... Keep up the good work.
I'll do my best to support your success
