Ratings and reviews

I've used a bunch of other location-based reminder apps, but this is THE ONLY ONE that actually alerted me EVERY TIME I entered the perimeter. For that reason alone, I give it 4 stars. Massimo Mula's review was spot-on for all of the +'s, but for me to pay for the premium version, there's going to have to be more than ad removal, themes, and sorting. As one user suggested, and I'll add a little to the suggestion, it would be nice to have the ability to automatically turn the alert on at a specific time. And, here's my addition...on certain days. I only need to use this app (so far) on Fridays after 12:00 pm. I hate having to manually turn this on whenever I need to use it. Add that feature and I'll bump the stars up to 5 and purchase the app, too! EDIT #1: Dropped to three stars because my alarm doesn't go off often, too. And, yes, my GPS does work. Waze works fine without any problems in the same area the alarm should go off. EDIT #2: Downgraded to 1 star. All of a sudden it decides to make my phone vibrate a couple times every 5 seconds or so. Happens whether the app is in the foreground or running in the background. Time to start looking for someone else's app. EDIT #3: No reason to email developer, the explanation is right here. It ONLY happens when WMT is running. I stop it, it stops vibrating. Simple as that.

Needs polishing. Once you pass a place and get an alarm, the alarm turns off. So if you pass the place again without turning the alarm back on, you won't get notified. Also, in Android 12, the location can only be enabled while the app is running. Which means, if the app is not running, you're not going to get notified. It does not notify from the background. And lastly, if notifications are turned on, which they have to be, it puts an icon in the status bar, which is annoying.

I use this app mainly for proximity alerts (I rely on the system app to time-based alarms). Here's what I like: 1) Can define multiple alarms and activate them at user's choice (even more than one at a time); 2) Can set alert to trigger on approach or leave; 3) Tells how far you are from target area; 4) Can use different tones for each alarm; 5) All main features (mentioned above) are free, even though there are ads... but it's acceptable; 6) Premium version is not so expensive. What I don't like: 1) GPS access is quite frequent: user should be able to set the polling time (i.e. define number of seconds) in order to save a little battery (of course, it would just be matter of finding the right balance between precision and power consumption). In the past, I used other apps with GPS polling set to 30 or 40 seconds, and never missed my stop! :) 2) Italian translation is quite good but can be improved. How could I help? Guys, this app is well done and has some potential. Keep up the good work!
