Location Alarm for Android
Upgraded to the latest version, and while it now asks for permission, the form for adding an alarm is TERRIBLE - when trying to set a time range the cursor returns to the text field, so setting a time is a nightmare - try opening the Repeat option as well and it becomes infinitely worse - Nice idea but terribly executed!
Won't let you open past permission of location
.. i am happy with that.
When I use this app, Bluetooth audio stops. Also, Its a bit unintuitive setting up an alarm that is not the current location.
Doesn't prompt for location permissions automatically, but knows enough to complain. Even after giving it permission, the alarm failed to go off. An unmitigated failure of an app.
I lost my mobile data but the functioning GPS won't make this app alarm me. Well, no, it even doesn't work normally during mobile data functioning properly though I see it hanging on notification. I'm in lollipop
I will give 5 star if following things fixed. 1. Alarm cant stop if give repeat option. 2. Gps intervel is more while selecting balanced option. Atleast in 20 sec it should auto update its loc
The default alarm sound is too short. Is it possible to use a long sound as the alarm sound? Like use system alarm tone?
Interface is marginal, and gps & alarm management is poor. Have uninstalled, now using Proximity alert
i cannot find the location on app's search that i can find it on google maps.. uninstalling that...
Not working for me...
Search results are very bad. Please use Google auto complete
Longer titles would be useful and so would setting different sounds for some locations. Pro version is better, as you would expect, because you can set a different distance for each alarm.
Why can't you add "copy map-coordinates" feature from map to create the alarm for any place? For e.g. suppose a person from delhi travelling to chennai adyar. At present the map co-ordonates are based in delhi which wil not be useful for chennai trip because your longitude and latitude values are of delhi and if you create an alarm it will immediately say 'reached' because I am in delhi only. Correct this... there will be people ready to pay for this . greater idea and you already made all resources.
I've been using this app for about six months. My favorite use is to nap during my morning bus ride without missing my stop. Recently, the app had an annoying bug that made it hard to turn off in Android 5. But the developers are responsive and have fixed it. The new version works great.
.. i am happy with that.
Why does it keep the location service awake? Can't you poll it once in 5 mins and reduce the polling duration when the destination gets closer? It's draining the battery.!
Doesnt alert. Android 4.4
Does not work on cm12 oneplus one
I'm running Android 5.0. This app worked for me in 4.4, but when the alarm triggers, the prompt to silence it doesn't do anything. I have to disable the alarm I'm using and exit or it keeps screaming at me. Time to find a new app until they fix this annoying bug. If the developers address this, I'll change my review.
Doesn't work
This app works but when I get to my location I cannot get the alarm to stop and have to resort to taking the battery out of my phone, this is quite annoying and embarrassing when your on a train full of people!
Good app but you cannot get the alarm to play thru your headphones. Should be an option to play thru speaker OR headphones OR both!! PLEASE FIX! Otherwise would get 5 stars but without that the app is useless
Does not ring on power saver mode. Or even balanced mode when hidden in Background
If I'm wearing headphones, I want the alarm to come through the headphones... Not the main phone speaker so everyone turns around and looks at me and my blaring phone.
Hang up after reach a target.
This is a great app. The interface and function were very well designed. It's obvious that a lot of thought went into it. As a developer, my only suggestion would be, with regard to battery use, is to calculate distance, alarm radius, and minimum travel time to destination. Rounding down, for unknowns, the app could sleep for the duration since arrival at destination would be impossible. Of course, this wouldn't be applicable when actively viewing the map. Regardless, great app. Congrats!
As far as I can tell, you can search for a location on a map, and you can create an alarm for your present location, but you can't create an alarm for a location you search for. So I'm on the train now, and the only alarms I can set are for the spots where the train has just been. The alarms ring as soon as I create them. What's the point? (Reply to Silvertech below:) I found the long-press trick after writing my review. Tapping on markers from search does nothing.
Glad I didn't trust it enough to go without a test run. Tried it with balanced power settings, thinking it would save some battery... Didn't work. Simple as that. Fix it or get rid of options that don't work and I would consider more stars.
I was skeptical that the app was going to work but to my joy it does! Even with the GPS turned off it still works. And what is even better is the interface is easy to use. If you know how to use Google maps then you can use this. It's also nice to be able find a location on the map and long press to add and do a text search for the location - both work well. A great app and well worth 5 stars.
Brilliant idea, great app.
.. i am happy with that.
What this app should do is use the network location until you're close, and then enable GPS if necessary. May not need gps at all depending on the alarm's accuracy.
I have issues in choosing destination as the map constantly goes back to my current location.
I used a lot of location alarm.. But this was the best I have ever used.. Thanks a lot..
Long press still add current location
Great idea and practical
Why I can't check range separated for tasks?
Very annoying. I have to get into the app to turn off the alarm.

I can enable permissions now but the app can't find my location and I can't set alarms. Uninstalling again.
