Good Lock increases the possibilities of Bixby routines

For example, routines can be created that are activated with a specific order, also when the scheduled time arrives, is on the way to work or an app is opened. And with Routine + the possibilities are expanded, both in actions and triggers.
The app is available on the Samsung Galaxy Store and is installed as a Good Lock module. So, if you didn’t have said Good Lock installed, the first step is to download the module launcher and, from there, install Routine +. The app allows:
