Geobells Pro for Android
I've been able to action all my reminders up until now, without any issues.
Love the new UI and layout! Very easy to use and great work by the Dev with a lot of attention to detail! Update: still using this app! Have had no issues whatsoever!
And the creator doesn't update, so it's not going to improve.
Head and shoulders above the rest, once you learn where all the features are. You can do the obvious location stuff, but you can also specify days of the week and repeating reminders. When alerted, the voice actually says what you are to be reminded of, using your own words. Which is perfect when driving as it tells you what the reminder is, you don't have to look at your phone. On a Samsung Note 3, I had occasional reliability issues, particularly after the phone upgraded itself, but it now works again much to my relief. There is not another app on the market that I have found that comes close to the feature of this one. Occasional issues are probably more the fault of my phone, which also has issues with even its own operating system! Neil, please don't give up on this app it really is in a class of its own.
Great but if it works without GPS I would rate it 5, because gps drains the battery.
Needs a voice searchable address book. You have to put in the address for grocery, home, work every time you want to set a reminder.
This app is brilliant. It works exactly as described and is invaluable. As I leave appointments it reminds me what to do next, or as I go past shops it reminds me verbally what to get. Tried several abysmal failures but this is spot on.
I've tried lots of other location-based reminder apps but this is the ONLY one that really works. Few have alerts when both entering AND exiting a location. Love the advanced configuration options and I use them all the time. One of the few apps these days that does not force you to sign up with yet another service in order to use.

Just reacquainted myself with is app and now you can disable when not using. Thanks for listening to feedback. App now very usable for my purposes.
Not reliable. Waste of money.
Great app! It would be awesome if we had the ability to save locations that we use frequently.

Every time I click on a task on my list it crashes. When it attempts to complete a task it also crashes. Sorry I paid the $1.99 for this app, its not worth it.
I tried to reach the developer at the noted email address about a problem and the email address appears to be invalid. Be careful paying for the pro version until this is corrected
So every time I click on the map or try to edit an even it crashes… not sure why… but even when it crashes it still works. I wish there was a time option, I drive by many stores on my way to work way early in the morning so they go off 5 hours before I can even be reminded of them.
I have a completed task and an upcoming task that both cause the app to crash every time you try to edit them. Also, an upcoming task that wrongly shows the map of another, multi-site task, instead of the single location task that it should show. The crashing makes it unusable.
Would rate 5 stars if you can give the capability to save locations that are commonly used like the previous reviewer requested.
I love the accuracy of the reminder. I could give this 5 star s, except I wish it had an option of time reminder as well. In addition the choice of the distance is limited. What if I want to be reminded as soon as I get into the house? Right now the minimum distance is 50m. Overall, I love it good job. I am looking forward for the upgrades and the options I mentioned above.
Great app! It would be awesome if we had the ability to save locations that we use frequently.
Been using this for a couple days now and it's working great. Recommend!
Now recognizes addresses previously used.
It would be great if you could set a reminder by a timer. Add that feature and this app would be perfect.
Awesome app. Just configure and enjoy!

Tried numerous apps of this type and all have problems. PROS: if the app acknowledges manual address input, it WORKS. Geobells offers non metric option, plus audio notifications (both unique). CONS: app STILL DOESN'T acknowledge MANY, established, properly input addresses (Google Maps has all addresses I tried). Picking spots from map for these failures never results in timely notification. UI gets cluttered at times with text/fields obscuring one another.
Didn't work as I hoped. Also, I couldn't find an option to turn it off once on. Doesn't really seem to work for general grocery store setting
Pretty good, like being told I'm almost there, BUT need an option to disable, I only use now and again, not all the time, so want to close it down when not using, AND be good if it would have a favourites list so I don't have to keep adding same old location.
There doesn't seem to be any way to edit the text of the event after its created. Eg 'get milk'. Have to delete and recreate. Frustrating.
Great app for those of with too much on our heads

Even though this app is not under development anymore I still use it and it's flawless! Now using on GS7! And still works great. The best on the market and I wish Neil would continue working on it with updates.
