Shifu is more than that, it a context aware personal assistant for your smartphone tailored to your personal needs. You won't find another app that reads your behavior and predicts the actions you may want to take based on your daily routine. You can also create customized reminders with all sort of nice features.
Sleek interface with plenty of features
The app launches directly with a tutorial showing new users how to access all of its features and tools to help you manage your work and make it easier to create reminders and tasks.
The whole concept behind this app is to monitor and record your daily routine, so that it can give you suggestions or post reminders only when you have the time to do said tasks. The app comes in multiple languages and it lets you connect your Facebook and Google accounts, to get reminders on your friends birthdays and more.
Call prediction and snooze
Shifu anticipates who you are most likely to call at any given point of time during the day and keep these contacts in notification bar so that you can access them immediately without having to search in phone book.
It does so by recoding your daily routine and reading your call log. In addition, it also helps you with missed calls in the sense that it lets you snooze calls and finds the best time when you can call them back, without having to search through call logs. It can also be used to provide you with in call reminders of things that you wanted to discuss with certain contacts.
Get all sort of reminders and alerts
Shifu analyzes your battery consumption habit and reminds you to charge your phone well ahead of time. It predicts how much battery you are going to use in next few hours and remind you to charge so that you are always prepared.
You can also create tasks that will show up only when you are around a certain location and create tasks linked to a certain Wifi network. If you're using multiple Android devices, the app can also remind you to install all of your applications on both devices, including Shifu. You can also sign in on multiple devices and all your reminders will be seamlessly synced.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The interface is nice but it may get a bit confusing at times and it doesn't have any extra themes or customization options. |
Function8
It's a nice app but it needs some more polishing and basic features that any user would find helpful, like notes and colors for reminders. |
Security7
It needs many permissions from your device but that's just for learning your behavior and customizing its features for your needs. |
Battery7
Extended use of this app may contribute to draining your resources, so keep an eye on resources when using Shifu. |
Price10
It's completely free of charge, no ads or in-app purchases whatsoever. |
Compatibility8
It should work on devices running Android version 4.0 or later, making it inaccessible to some users. |
It's a good idea for an app, but it needs some improvements.
