Simply install the app on your wireless phone or other device, program the actions that Flic will perform, and stick the Flic button on any adhesive-bearing surface and press it to activate an action. Flic comes in a variety of colors, so if you have multiple Flics, it is easy to find the right one for the task you want performed. It integrates with many apps on smart devices, expanding its capabilities to automate tasks around your home, in your car, at work, and more. Flic automates additional tasks such playing music, taking pictures, making calls, navigating a vehicle, calling a taxi, finding a phone, and much more. Flic is still relatively new in the market since its release in 2015. During its initial release, many customers had difficulty with connecting Flic to their devices. However, this issue seems to have been addressed with more recent models.
